Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge displacement monitoring, and particularly relates to a method for early warning of bridge bearing displacement. Background Art

[0002] Bridge bearings are important components connecting the upper and lower structures of bridges. They can transfer vertical and horizontal loads, have the ability to adapt to deformations such as temperature, concrete shrinkage, creep, and settlement, and can achieve the functions of restricting displacement, ensuring structural stability and overall safety. However, with the increase of the service time of bridges, affected by environmental factors and repeated loads, the performance of bearings will degenerate to varying degrees, thus affecting the safety of bridge structures. And the on-line monitoring of bridge bearings is easily affected by environmental factors (especially temperature factors), which may lead to distorted monitoring results. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a method for early warning of bridge bearing displacement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art and proposes a method for early warning of bridge bearing displacement.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows:

[0005] A method for early warning of bridge bearing displacement includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. Collect the early bridge temperature and bearing displacement data, preprocess the data, and remove the outliers as the training set;

[0007] S2. Establish a temperature-displacement prediction model;

[0008]

[0009] In the formula: K is the number of Gaussian components; ω k is the combination coefficient of the k-th Gaussian component (ω k …0 and ); μ k and Σ k are the mean vector and covariance matrix of the k-th Gaussian component respectively;

[0010] S3. Define p(x|k) as the probability density function of the k-th Gaussian component, specifically:

[0011]

[0012] S4. For the temperature sample vector x t corresponding to the time series and the displacement data d tCombine them to calculate the mean μ and covariance Σ of the sample vector to be measured, and then calculate the posterior probability p(d t |x t ) of the displacement data corresponding to the temperature sample to be measured.

[0013] p(d t |x t ) = p(d t |μ d|t,k' , Σ d|t,k' )

[0014] where: μ d|t,k' and Σ d|t,k' are the corresponding mean and covariance respectively;

[0015] S5. Obtain the displacement prediction value p t according to the Gaussian distribution characteristics, and obtain the difference between the measured displacement value and the predicted value;

[0016] e = d t -p t

[0017] S6. Define the warning index using the Mahalanobis distance, and the Mahalanobis distance is expressed as follows:

[0018] D = e t (Σ d|t,k' ) -1 e

[0019] The warning threshold can be obtained:

[0020]

[0021] where: represents the chi-square distribution with degree of freedom h (the value of h is selected according to the actual monitoring situation), and α is the significance level

[0022] S7. Standardize the above calculated value as the warning value:

[0023]

[0024] When the warning value is less than 1, the bearing performance is normal; when the warning value is greater than 1, the bearing performance is abnormal.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S2, let represent the parameter set composed of all parameters in GMM. First, calculate the log-likelihood function corresponding to the data set to obtain the optimal estimate

[0026]

[0027] The problem of optimal parameter estimation of GMM is transformed into the following optimization problem:

[0028]

[0029] Furthermore, the Expectation-Maximization algorithm is used for solution. First, the initial parameters of GMM are set as Θ (0) , and then iterative calculations are carried out in two steps.

[0030] Furthermore, iterative calculations are carried out in two steps, namely the E-step and the M-step. Specifically:

[0031] In the E-step, based on the current parameters Θ (i) , the posterior probability that the j-th sample vector x j belongs to the k-th Gaussian component is calculated:

[0032]

[0033] In the M-step, the parameters Θ (i+1) are iteratively updated:

[0034]

[0035] Repeat the E-step and the M-step until convergence, and the optimal parameters of GMM can be obtained. Furthermore, the joint probability density function model between temperature and displacement can be obtained.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0037] The method provided by the present invention can realize real-time online monitoring of the bearing displacement, saving manpower and financial resources compared with the traditional regular inspection method, and having higher safety. On the other hand, compared with the traditional online warning method, it takes into account the influence of environmental effects (temperature factor), can effectively eliminate the interference of environmental factors on the monitoring results, and achieves the effect of significantly improving the warning accuracy.

[0046] S2. Establish a temperature-displacement prediction model; to effectively solve the multi-peak distribution characteristics of temperature-displacement monitoring data, based on the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) in statistics, a linear combination of multiple Gaussian components is realized, which can fit the probability density function of multi-dimensional data, and by appropriately increasing the number of Gaussian components, the probability density function of multi-peak distribution data can be accurately fitted.

[0047]

[0048] Where: K is the number of Gaussian components; ω k is the combination coefficient of the k-th Gaussian component (ω k …0 and ); μ k and Σ k are the mean vector and covariance matrix of the k-th Gaussian component respectively;

[0049] S3. Define p(x|k) as the probability density function of the k-th Gaussian component, specifically:

[0050]

[0051] Let represent the parameter set composed of all parameters in GMM. To obtain the optimal estimate of the parameter set Θ the logarithmic likelihood function corresponding to the data set can be calculated first:

[0052]

[0053] Then, the optimal parameter estimation problem of GMM is transformed into the following optimization problem:

[0054]

[0055] To solve the above optimization problem, the Expectation-Maximization algorithm is used for solution. First, set the initial parameters of GMM as Θ (0) , and then perform iterative calculations in two steps (E step and M step).

[0056] In the E step, based on the current parameter Θ (i) , calculate the posterior probability that the j-th sample vector x j belongs to the k-th Gaussian component:

[0057]

[0058] In the M step, iteratively update the parameter Θ (i+1) :

Thus, the marginal probability density p(x t ) of x can be obtained. Furthermore, the posterior probability p(k|x t ) of x for the k-th Gaussian model can be obtained. Assign the temperature sample to the Gaussian model k' corresponding to the maximum posterior probability. t For the k-th Gaussian model, t ) of the displacement data corresponding to the temperature sample. Thus, the marginal probability density p(x
