Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge monitoring technology, and in particular to a calibration method, device and storage medium for a bridge health monitoring system based on regional loading tests. Background Technology
[0002] Bridge health monitoring systems are an important technical means to monitor the structural condition of bridges in real time. Essentially, these systems aim to sense and acquire data on the bridge's structural response under external loads. By comparing and analyzing the monitored data with theoretically calculated data of the bridge's structural response under baseline conditions, the system can be used to assess the bridge's performance.
[0003] Among them, the bridge health monitoring system (also known as the bridge structure monitoring system or simply the bridge monitoring system) is an electronic information system that connects various sensors, data acquisition and transmission, data processing and management, data analysis and application hardware devices, software modules and supporting facilities distributed at the bridge site and monitoring center through network integration technology. It has the functions of continuous monitoring, automatic recording, data display and alarm assessment of bridge set parameters, and assists in bridge management and maintenance decision-making.
[0004] However, upon completion of the bridge structure monitoring system installation, the monitoring data may exhibit systematic biases, necessitating calibration of the initial states of the monitoring sensors for each structural response. While bridge structure monitoring sensors may be free of quality issues at the time of manufacture, their performance can be compromised after installation due to factors such as harsh environments, network anomalies, electromagnetic interference, and installation errors. This can result in initial errors in the monitoring data even upon sensor installation completion. For instance, the intended placement orientation of a resistance strain gauge should align with the principal strain direction on the measured component (assuming the measuring point is under one-dimensional stress). However, if the actual placement orientation deviates from the principal strain direction by an angle α, such as... Figure 1 As shown, there is an error between the measured strain value ε' and the true strain value ε, but it can be corrected using formula (1).
[0005]
[0006] In the formula, μ is the Poisson's coefficient of the measured component material, and a is the deviation angle.
[0007] Without calibration, subsequent monitoring values from the sensor will remain erroneous. The sensor monitoring data displayed in the bridge health monitoring system (i.e., the obtained monitoring value) u can be expressed by formula (2). Data containing errors is difficult to reflect the true condition of the bridge structure and will also lead to inaccuracies in the results of various analysis and evaluation algorithms based on the monitoring data. Therefore, it is essential to calibrate the bridge monitoring data using theoretical calculation data of the structural response under the bridge's reference state.
[0008] u=u0+σ0+σ 其他 Formula (2)
[0009] In the formula, u0 represents the true value of the bridge structure response, σ0 represents the monitoring error caused by various factors when the sensor is installed, and σ 其他 This indicates the monitoring error caused by various factors during long-term use after the sensor is installed.
[0010] In the process of realizing this invention, the inventors discovered at least the following problems in the prior art:
[0011] There are two main categories of existing monitoring data calibration methods: those based on long-term monitoring data and those based on measured data.
[0012] (1) The main methods for repairing monitoring data calibration based on long-term monitoring data include data interpolation, data fitting and machine learning methods.
[0013] ① The numerical interpolation method uses existing normal data from the same bridge monitoring sensor at different time periods and employs interpolation algorithms (such as linear interpolation and nearest neighbor interpolation) to calibrate abnormal data (such as supplementing data for missing time periods).
[0014] ② The data fitting method is based on existing normal data from the same bridge monitoring sensor at different time periods. A data fitting algorithm (such as polynomial fitting) is used to establish a fitting curve for the sensor's monitoring data. This fitting curve is then used to calibrate abnormal data (e.g., using polynomial fitted values to replace abnormal data values). Another literature, "Research on Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on Load Test Correction," proposes establishing a fitting curve between manual detection data from traditional load tests and monitoring data from the health monitoring system to calibrate the monitoring data.
[0015] ③ The machine learning method is to train a machine learning model (including deep neural networks and long short-term memory networks) on normal data from a bridge monitoring sensor at different time periods or on normal monitoring data from other sensors that are related to a certain sensor, and then use the machine learning model to calibrate abnormal data.
[0016] Existing calibration methods for bridge anomaly monitoring data, based on data interpolation, data fitting, and machine learning, all rely on sensor monitoring data from the bridge structure monitoring system itself. Bridge monitoring data itself may contain errors; for example, initial errors may exist when sensors are first installed. These existing methods essentially perform anomaly calibration based on monitoring data that may contain initial errors. In short, these methods struggle to obtain truly accurate monitoring data.
[0017] (2) Monitoring data calibration method based on measured data. The literature "Research on Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on Load Test Correction" proposes to establish a fitting curve (mainly a linear fitting function) between the manual detection data of traditional load test and the monitoring data of the health monitoring system to calibrate the monitoring data.
[0018] This method is primarily applicable to structural response monitoring data. Traditional load tests, used to assess bridge load-bearing capacity, require numerous vehicle loads, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, the load arrangement is relatively fixed, and structural responses at certain locations may be insignificant. Manually measured data may also contain errors. The established calibration function only involves a fitting algorithm, the accuracy of which may be limited. In conclusion, the applicability of this method needs further improvement.
[0019] Therefore, there is a need for a calibration method, device, and storage medium for a bridge health monitoring system based on regional loading tests, in order to at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0020] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a calibration method, device and storage medium for a bridge health monitoring system based on regional loading tests, so as to at least solve one of the problems in the prior art.
[0021] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a calibration method for a bridge health monitoring system based on a regional loading test, the calibration method comprising:
[0022] Based on the influence line corresponding to the pre-determined structural response to be calibrated, an actual loading test is conducted on the target bridge at the maximum longitudinal index of the influence line or its vicinity. Structural response monitoring data is obtained through the bridge health monitoring system, and a monitoring data sequence is constructed.
[0023] The finite element model of the target bridge's reference state is invoked and loaded with the same load at the same location as the actual load test of the target bridge. The corresponding structural response theoretical data is obtained from the finite element analysis results, and a structural response theoretical data sequence is constructed.
[0024] Based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence, a first fitting model that meets the preset R-squared value requirement is used for fitting to obtain a first fitting relationship;
[0025] Based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence, a second fitting model that meets the preset R-squared value requirement is used for fitting to obtain a second fitting relationship;
[0026] Based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence, obtain the first priority feature representing the quantity of data;
[0027] Based on the first priority feature and the preset standard threshold, a target fitting relationship is determined between the first fitting relationship and the second fitting relationship; if the target fitting relationship is determined, the fitting model corresponding to the target fitting relationship is determined as the calibration model of the bridge health monitoring system.
[0028] The calibration model is used to calibrate the monitoring data of the bridge health monitoring system.
[0029] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a calibration device for a bridge health monitoring system based on a regional loading test, the calibration device comprising:
[0030] Memory is used to store executable instructions for a computer;

[0032] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a storage medium storing computer instructions, wherein the computer instructions are used to cause the computer to execute the calibration method of the above-described technical solution.
[0033] According to the calibration method of the present invention, this method is not based on monitoring data that may contain errors, which can improve the calibration effect of monitoring data. It also eliminates the need to manually measure the physical quantities of sensor positions during load tests, thus improving the convenience of the method. In addition, the load test is performed according to the influence line, requiring less vehicle load, which is simpler and more effective than load tests. Furthermore, it can selectively acquire sensor monitoring data and theoretical data calculated by finite element model for different areas of the bridge, enabling regional calibration of sensors.

[0048] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the term "connection" in this article can refer not only to a direct connection, but also to an indirect connection involving an intermediary.
[0049] In the following description, embodiments of the invention will be illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar parts, or the same or similar steps.
[0050] First, refer to Figure 2 This application describes a calibration method 100 for a bridge health monitoring system based on a regional loading test, according to an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 2 As shown, calibration method 100 may include steps S110 to S170, as detailed below:
[0051] In step S110, based on the influence line corresponding to the pre-determined structural response to be calibrated, a measured loading test is conducted on the target bridge at the maximum longitudinal index of the influence line or its vicinity. Structural response monitoring data is obtained through the bridge health monitoring system, and a monitoring data sequence is constructed.
[0052] In step S120, the finite element model of the bridge reference state of the target bridge is called and loaded with the same load at the same location as the actual load test of the target bridge. The corresponding structural response theoretical data is obtained from the finite element analysis results, and a structural response theoretical data sequence is constructed.
[0053] In step S130, based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence, a first fitting model that meets the preset R-squared value requirement is used to fit the data and obtain the first fitting relationship.
[0054] In step S140, based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence, a second fitting model that meets the preset R-squared value requirement is used to fit the data and obtain a second fitting relationship.
[0055] In step S150, a first priority feature representing the amount of data is obtained based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence.
[0056] In step S160, based on the first priority feature and the preset standard threshold, a target fitting relationship is determined among the first fitting relationship and the second fitting relationship; if the target fitting relationship is determined, the fitting model corresponding to the target fitting relationship is determined as the calibration model of the bridge health monitoring system.
[0057] In step S170, the monitoring data of the bridge health monitoring system are calibrated using the calibration model.
[0058] In the embodiments of this application, firstly, a sustained loading test of vehicle loads is conducted on the actual bridge along the influence line. The bridge health monitoring system's sensors acquire monitoring data of the structural response. Simultaneously, based on the established finite element model of the bridge structure in its baseline state, the same load is applied at the corresponding position of the finite element model to calculate the theoretical calculation data of the structural response. Next, a fitting relationship (calibration function) between the monitoring data and the finite element theoretical calculation data is established using either a first fitting model or a second fitting model. Then, based on the first priority feature and the preset standard threshold, the first fitting relationship or the second fitting relationship is determined as the target fitting relationship, thereby determining the calibration model. Finally, the calibration model is used to calibrate the bridge monitoring data.
[0059] As can be seen from the above description, the calibration method 100 according to the embodiment of this application is not based on monitoring data that may contain errors, but on the theoretical calculation values through the finite element model, which can improve the calibration effect of monitoring data. At the same time, the loading test is carried out according to the influence line, which requires less load. The bridge health monitoring system can obtain larger and more stable structural response monitoring data, which is simpler and more effective than the load test. In addition, depending on the situation of the monitoring data sequence and the theoretical structural response data sequence, the first fitting model or the second fitting model can be used for calibration on the basis of ensuring the calibration accuracy, which has high flexibility and applicability.
[0060] Among them, Figure 2 Steps S110 to S170 are shown to be performed sequentially, but this is only an example. It is understood that the order of steps S130, S140, and S160 is not restricted.
[0061] See Figure 3 The following will describe in detail the steps of the calibration method 200 according to the embodiments of this application.
[0062] In the embodiments of this application, in step S201, based on the influence line corresponding to the pre-determined structural response to be calibrated, a measured loading test is conducted on the target bridge at the position of the maximum longitudinal marker of the influence line or its vicinity. Structural response monitoring data is obtained through the bridge health monitoring system, and a monitoring data sequence is constructed.
[0063] It should be noted that the reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, the structural response to be calibrated may include structural displacement, strain, cable force, rotation angle, and vibration acceleration, such as the strain and vertical displacement of the main beam, and there are no specific limitations. Furthermore, the calibration method of this embodiment is applicable to the calibration and correction of various types of monitoring data for various bridge structures (not limited to structural response monitoring data, but also including environmental and load monitoring data), and has a wide range of applications, and can also be applied to various structural and architectural engineering projects.
[0064] Before proceeding to step S201, it is necessary to pre-determine the influence line corresponding to the structural response to be calibrated. Generally, for a specific structural response monitoring sensor that needs to be calibrated, the influence line of the internal forces at the sensor location (such as the bending moment influence line) can be established using a static or kinematic method. For the calibration of structural response monitoring data, this invention considers using a simple loading test based on the influence line, rather than necessarily a load test, to assist in the manual measurement of structural response data. The loading test is simple and efficient.
[0065] Specifically, on the target bridge, for example, vehicle loads or other loads can be applied at or near the point of maximum longitudinal elevation along the influence line, allowing the bridge health monitoring system to acquire large and stable structural response monitoring data through monitoring sensors corresponding to the structural response. This data can then be used to construct a monitoring data sequence.
[0066] For example, refer to Figure 5 ,for Figure 5 In the simply supported beam bridge, displacement sensors ①②③④⑤⑥ in the bridge health monitoring system are arranged in regions C and E, respectively, to monitor the deflection at different locations on the main beam. When a load (such as a vehicle load) is applied to section c, the main beam located at sensors ①②③ will undergo a significant displacement, and the bridge health monitoring system can acquire the monitoring data from sensors ①②③. Simultaneously, in the bridge finite element model, the displacement calculation values at sensors ①②③ under the corresponding loading mode can be extracted. Similarly, when a load (such as a vehicle load) is applied to section e, the bridge health monitoring system can acquire the monitoring data from sensors ④⑤⑥, and the displacement calculation values at sensors ④⑤⑥ can be extracted from the bridge finite element analysis results.
[0067] In the embodiments of this application, in step S203, the finite element model of the target bridge structure is called and loaded with the same load at the same location as the actual load test of the target bridge. The corresponding structural response theoretical data is obtained from the finite element analysis results, and a structural response theoretical data sequence is constructed.
[0068] Of course, before proceeding to step S203, it is necessary to first construct a finite element model of the target bridge's reference state.
[0069] Regarding the selection of the bridge reference state, when calculating the theoretical value of the structural response, the bridge reference state is best chosen to be the state before the bridge is opened to traffic. After long-term operation, bridges may suffer various damages, such as concrete cracking and steel corrosion. If the bridge state during long-term operation is selected as the reference state for finite element modeling calculations, it is difficult to realistically simulate various damages and obtain a true structural response. For newly built bridges, the bridge performance condition is intact, and the various performance parameters of the bridge are basically consistent with the design state. For a small number of performance parameters that are inconsistent with the design due to construction, they can be obtained through actual measurements, thereby establishing a finite element model consistent with the actual performance condition of the bridge. Generally, monitoring systems are gradually implemented during bridge construction, and the monitoring systems also need to be handed over and accepted during bridge handover and acceptance. In addition, for extra-large and complex bridges, load tests are also conducted during handover and acceptance to verify the bridge's load-bearing capacity. Therefore, when calibrating the bridge health monitoring system, a finite element model of the bridge baseline state is established based on the bridge's handover and acceptance as the baseline state to calculate the theoretical value of the structural response. That is, the bridge finite element model is established based on the bridge's state before it is opened to traffic. This finite element model can more accurately reflect the bridge's true performance status compared to the bridge finite element model during the operation period.
[0070] Specifically, after determining the finite element model of the target bridge's reference state, the same load was applied to the finite element model at the same location as the actual bridge loading test. The corresponding structural response theoretical data was then extracted from the finite element analysis results. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 And the relevant descriptions above.
[0071] In the embodiments of this application, in step S205, based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence, a first fitting model that meets the preset R-squared value requirement is used to fit the data and obtain a first fitting relationship.
[0072] The first fitting model uses a regression model (such as a linear regression model, a multinomial regression model, etc.).
[0073] Specifically, after the sensors of the bridge health monitoring system obtain the monitoring data sequence X = (x1, x2, ..., xn) and the finite element theory calculation value sequence Y = (y1, y2, ..., yn) (i.e., the structural response theory data sequence), a regression model (such as a linear regression model, a multinomial regression model, etc.) is used to determine the functional relationship f between X and Y, such as y = f(x).
[0074] Using mathematical analysis software, multiple fitting functions (known functions), including polynomial functions, linear functions, and logarithmic functions, are used to fit the acquired structural response monitoring data and structural response theoretical data one by one, and the R-squared value used to measure the degree of fit of the model to the data is calculated.
[0075] When the R-squared value reaches a preset value, such as 0.95, the fitting function at this time is determined as the first fitting model that meets the requirements, and the fitting function at this time is the first fitting relationship.
[0076] The R-squared value, which measures the goodness of fit of the model to the data, is calculated using formula (3).
[0077]
[0078] In the formula, y i Let p represent the theoretical data of the i-th structural response, m represent the average value of the n theoretical structural response data, and p represent the theoretical data of the i-th structural response. i This represents the fitted value corresponding to the i-th structural response monitoring data calculated according to a certain fitting function.
[0079] For example, refer to Figure 6 Assume a simply supported beam bridge is equipped with a bridge health monitoring system. Sensors are installed at three locations (sections a, b, and c) to monitor the vertical displacement of the main beam. The sensor arrangement is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6The influence lines of bending moments at the three cross-section locations calculated using the static method are also presented. From the Ma bending moment influence lines, it can be seen that when load F is applied at location ③ and its vicinity, a large vertical displacement will occur at the main beam cross-section a, while when load F is applied at location ⑨, the vertical displacement at the main beam cross-section a is smaller. Therefore, to calibrate the displacement sensor at cross-section a, load F can be applied at locations ① to ⑥ respectively to obtain six large and stable vertical displacement monitoring values. Simultaneously, in the finite element model, loads of the same weight were applied to six locations identical to the actual bridge loading locations (each loading location represents a working condition), and theoretical calculation values of the vertical displacement at cross-section a under the six working conditions were extracted from the finite element analysis results. Regression analysis was performed on these six theoretical calculation values and six monitoring data (see Table 1). When using a polynomial function to fit the relationship between the theoretical calculation data and the monitoring data, the R-squared value was 0.9806, and the corresponding polynomial function is as follows:
[0080] y = 0.6719x 2 -3.5672x + 7.8275 Formula (4)
[0081] Therefore, the function represented by formula (4) can be used as the calibration function (i.e., the first fitting relationship) for calibrating the displacement monitoring data at section a of the main beam. Then, using this calibration function, the displacement monitoring data at section a can be corrected. For example, if the displacement monitoring value at section a is 4.1, it can be corrected to 4.5 (with one significant decimal place) using the correction function.
[0082] Table 1. Theoretical calculation data and monitoring data of vertical displacement at section a (unit: mm)
[0083] Theoretical calculation data Y 3.4 3.5 4.2 3.9 3.8 3.2 Monitoring data X 3.3 3.4 3.9 3.8 3.7 3.1
[0084] It should be noted that when the load is applied at positions ⑦, ⑧, and ⑨, the displacement generated at section a is relatively small. Therefore, the vertical displacement value at section a calculated by the finite element model when the load is applied at positions ⑦, ⑧, and ⑨ was not used to calibrate and correct the displacement sensor monitoring data at section a. However, the vertical displacement value at section c calculated by the finite element model when the load is applied at positions ⑦, ⑧, and ⑨ can be used to calibrate and correct the displacement sensor monitoring data at section c.
[0085] In the embodiments of this application, in step S207, a second fitting model that meets the preset R-squared value requirement is used to fit the data based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence to obtain a second fitting relationship.
[0086] The second fitting model uses a neural network model (such as a deep neural network, a long short-term memory network, etc.).
[0087] Similarly, after the sensors of the bridge health monitoring system obtain the monitoring data sequence X = (x1, x2, ..., xn) and the finite element theory calculation value sequence Y = (y1, y2, ..., yn) (i.e., the structural response theory data sequence), a neural network model (such as a deep neural network, a long short-term memory network, etc.) is used to determine the functional relationship f between X and Y.
[0088] Specifically, first, it is necessary to obtain a neural network model that meets the preset requirement for the R-squared value. The specific process is as follows:
[0089] The acquired monitoring data sequences and structural response theory data sequences are combined into a dataset, which is then divided into mutually exclusive training and validation sets in a certain ratio, for example, an 8:2 ratio. The monitoring data sequence X serves as the input layer, and the corresponding structural response theory data sequence Y serves as the output layer.
[0090] Then, a common and well-suited neural network model is selected, and the number of network layers, neurons, learning rate, and loss function parameters of the second fitting model are preset. The model is trained using the training set, and the R-squared value is calculated as an indicator to evaluate the performance of the model. The calculation method of the R-squared value can refer to formula (3) above, and will not be repeated here.
[0091] If the R-squared value reaches the preset value, then the second fitting model at this time is determined as the second fitting model that meets the requirements. The relationship between the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence determined by the second fitting model at this time is the second fitting relationship.
[0092] If the R-squared value does not reach the preset value, continue to adjust the model parameters and iterate the above steps until the R-squared value reaches the preset value.
[0093] It is understandable that if the initially selected neural network model fails to meet the requirements, it can be replaced with another known neural network model that is more suitable, and the same steps described above can be used to process it until the R-squared value reaches the preset value.
[0094] For example, for Figure 6A simply supported beam bridge equipped with a health monitoring system was used. Assuming a vehicle slowly moves and loads the bridge at and near section a, 500 theoretical and monitoring data points of vertical displacement at section a were obtained. This dataset was divided into mutually exclusive training and validation sets in an 8:2 ratio. A deep neural network with two hidden layers and seven neurons per layer, using the sigmoid activation function, was trained on the training set and its hyperparameters were fine-tuned on the validation set, resulting in a deep learning model with an R-squared value of 0.98. This deep learning model can then be used to correct the displacement monitoring data at section a. For example, if the displacement monitoring value at section a is 4.2, its corrected value is 4.6 (rounded to one decimal place).
[0095] In an embodiment of this application, step S209 involves obtaining a first priority feature representing the quantity of data based on the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence.
[0096] Specifically, the first priority feature refers to the total number of data points in the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence. For example, if both the monitoring data sequence and the structural response theoretical data sequence contain 500 data points, then the first priority feature is 1000.
[0097] In the embodiments of this application, step S211 compares the first priority feature with a preset standard threshold to determine whether the first priority feature has reached the preset standard threshold. For example, if there are 800 first priority features and the preset standard threshold is set to 1000, then the first priority feature has not reached the preset standard threshold.
[0098] In the embodiments of this application, in step S213, if the first priority feature bit does not reach the preset standard threshold, the first fitting relationship is determined as the target fitting relationship; if the target fitting relationship is determined, the first fitting model corresponding to the first fitting relationship is determined as the calibration model of the bridge health monitoring system.
[0099] In the embodiments of this application, in step S215, when the monitoring data obtained by the bridge health monitoring system is calibrated using the first fitting model, a second priority feature representing the fitting error rate corresponding to the fitting result is obtained.
[0100] Specifically, once the first fitting relationship is determined as the target fitting relationship and the first fitting model corresponding to the first fitting relationship is determined as the calibration model, the monitoring data acquired by the bridge health monitoring system is calibrated using the first fitting model. For example, by obtaining the fitting result after calibrating the monitoring data acquired by the bridge health monitoring system using the first fitting model within a set time period, the corresponding second priority feature characterizing the fitting error rate can be obtained based on the fitting result, and the fitting error value within that time period can be obtained based on the second priority feature.
[0101] In the embodiments of this application, step S217 compares the fitting error value obtained based on the second priority feature with a preset error threshold to determine whether the fitting error value obtained based on the second priority feature reaches the preset error threshold. For example, if the second priority feature (fitting error rate) obtained within a certain time period is 15%, then the fitting error value obtained based on the second priority feature is 0.15, while the preset error threshold is set to 0.05. Therefore, the fitting error value obtained based on the second priority feature is greater than the preset error threshold. If the fitting error value obtained based on the second priority feature is less than the preset error threshold, then the first fitting model is still determined as the calibration model of the bridge health monitoring system.
[0102] In the embodiments of this application, in step S219, when the first priority feature bit reaches a preset standard threshold, the second fitting relationship is determined as the target fitting relationship; and when the fitting error value obtained based on the second priority feature is greater than the preset error threshold, the second fitting relationship is determined as the target fitting relationship. When the target fitting relationship is determined, the second fitting model corresponding to the second fitting relationship is determined as the calibration model of the bridge health monitoring system.
[0103] In the embodiments of this application, step S221 uses the calibration model to calibrate the monitoring data of the bridge health monitoring system. That is, after determining the first fitting model or the second fitting model in steps S217 and S219 as the calibration model for the bridge health monitoring system, the subsequent monitoring data of the bridge health monitoring system are calibrated using the first fitting model or the second fitting model.
[0104] For example, based on a predetermined calibration function, the monitoring data x0 of one (or more) sensors to be calibrated is obtained, and the calibration function y = f(x) is used to calculate y0 = f(x0), which is then used to replace x0. If the calibration function is established using a neural network model, the x0 is input into the trained neural network model, and the neural network model can output the calibration value y0 of the monitoring value x0.
[0105] Based on the above description, the calibration method according to the embodiments of this application establishes a calibration function relationship between the theoretically calculated data and the monitoring data based on the finite element analysis theoretical calculation data from the theoretical loading test and the monitoring data from the bridge health monitoring system. This calibration method uses the theoretically calculated values from the finite element analysis rather than the monitoring data itself. Compared to calibrating the monitoring data based on monitoring data that may contain initial errors, this method can more accurately correct the monitoring data. Furthermore, the embodiments of this invention select the bridge's state before it is opened to traffic as the baseline state to establish the bridge finite element model. This finite element model can more accurately reflect the bridge's true performance state compared to the bridge finite element model during the operation period. Furthermore, the loading test is conducted along the influence line, requiring less load. The bridge health monitoring system can acquire larger and more stable structural response monitoring data, which is simpler and more effective than the load test. It also eliminates the need for manual measurement of sensor positions during the load test, improving the ease of implementation. Additionally, it allows for targeted acquisition of sensor monitoring data and theoretical data calculated by the finite element model for different regions, enabling regional sensor calibration. Moreover, based on the monitoring data sequence and the theoretical structural response data sequence, and while ensuring calibration accuracy, it allows for calibration using either the first or second fitting model, offering greater flexibility and applicability.
[0106] Furthermore, the calibration method in this embodiment of the invention differs from that in "Research on Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on Load Test Correction" in that:
[0107] ① Regarding the loading method, this invention directly loads a vehicle load of a fixed weight G1 onto bridge location c along the influence line, and continues loading for a period of time to allow the structural response monitoring sensors deployed near location c to collect large and stable monitoring values. Then, the vehicle load is slowly moved to bridge location e, and loading is continued for a period of time to allow the structural response monitoring sensors deployed near location e to collect large and stable monitoring values. The method in "Research on Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on Load Test Correction" is based on a traditional load test implemented to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of a bridge. This load test involves progressively loading a vehicle load to a fixed weight G2 (G2>G1) at a fixed location on the bridge. The embodiment of this invention requires a lower vehicle load and has a lower implementation cost.
[0108] ② Regarding calibration data, this invention uses structural response data calculated by finite element analysis of the bridge structure during loading tests to calibrate the monitoring data. The method in "Research on Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on Load Test Correction" uses manually measured structural response data from load tests to calibrate the monitoring data.
[0109] ③ Regarding the calibration function, this invention proposes using statistical regression and neural networks to establish a correction function between the monitoring data and the finite element theory calculation data. The method in "Research on Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on Load Test Correction" only uses regression fitting to establish the correction function. Regression fitting methods sometimes fail to achieve satisfactory results. The neural network model used in this invention can theoretically fit any functional relationship; therefore, this invention has a wider range of applications and stronger applicability.
