Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bridge load limit management, and relates to a method and system for managing the safe operation load limit of bridges. Background Art

[0002] As a key node in the transportation network, the safety management of bridges is of crucial importance. Once a safety problem occurs in a bridge, it will not only cause traffic interruption but also may lead to serious accidents.

[0003] Bridge load limit management, as the core part of bridge safety management, is of great significance. Overloading will bring excessive stress to the bridge structure, accelerate its aging and damage, and reduce its service life. By implementing load limit management, it can effectively ensure the safe operation of the bridge within the design load range, extend the service life of the bridge, and avoid huge economic losses and social impacts caused by bridge damage, which has practical significance.

[0004] However, the existing methods for managing the safe operation load limit of bridges still have some limitations and deficiencies in practical applications.

[0005] For example, the existing Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN112580138B discloses a method for determining the load limit of urban bridges based on traffic flow data and reliability theory. In view of the increasingly serious overloading of the original bridges by muck trucks and other heavy freight vehicles, it uses dynamic weighing equipment to collect data of passing vehicles, establishes a random traffic flow model based on random sampling of load limit values, uses the influence line to load the random traffic flow model to obtain extreme value samples of the response of the bridge control section, and then fits the extreme value distribution of the bridge control section response through the generalized extreme value distribution. Based on the dead load effect and bridge bearing capacity calculated by design documents, finite element software, and relevant detection tests, and according to the reliability theory and the bridge ultimate state equation, the reliability index corresponding to the current load limit value is determined, and a suitable bridge load limit value is selected by the reliability index. It provides a scientific basis for the formulation of management measures by relevant departments and the safe maintenance of bridges, and provides a calculation method for solving the problem that the load limit values of some current bridges are unclear and inaccurate.

[0006] For example, the existing Chinese patent with the publication number CN115905772A discloses a method, device, electronic device, and storage medium for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of a bridge. The method includes: applying a load to the bridge to be measured and obtaining the acoustic emission data during the loading process; the load is greater than the historical maximum load borne by the current bridge to be measured; according to the acoustic emission data, the Felicity ratio of the bridge to be measured is determined; and according to the Felicity ratio and the load, the ultimate bearing capacity of the bridge to be measured is calculated, which can effectively improve the calculation accuracy of the ultimate bearing capacity.

[0007] Deficiencies of the above patent: First, the management of bridge load limits mostly focuses on the preliminary design stage, analyzing the bridge load limit value or ultimate bearing capacity, thereby improving the accuracy of the bridge's ultimate bearing capacity and providing a scientific basis for the formulation of management measures by relevant departments and the safe maintenance of bridges. However, the actual bearing capacity of the bridge is not continuously tracked later. For example, based on the damage condition of the bridge and traffic changes, the theoretical bearing capacity of the bridge is not corrected, and thus the safety of the bridge cannot be better guaranteed.

[0008] Second, when the bearing capacity of the bridge decreases, the reasons are not further analyzed, which is not conducive to providing a basis for the targeted maintenance of the bridge's safety in the later stage. Summary of the Invention

[0019] A bearing capacity decline cause analysis module: used to analyze the cause types of the decline in the bearing capacity of the bridge, where the cause types include bridge structure, traffic flow, bridge structure and traffic flow, and give feedback.

[0020] A database: used to store the load factors of various types of past vehicles, and store the predicted values of the bridge structure damage coefficient during the re-inspection period.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention regularly conducts a detailed inspection of the appearance and internal structure of the bridge, evaluates the bridge structure damage coefficient, re-inspects the traffic flow of the bridge, checks for new traffic changes, analyzes the traffic load increase coefficient of the bridge, and judges whether the bearing capacity of the bridge has changed based on the results of the bridge structure re-inspection and traffic flow re-inspection, and then timely corrects the theoretical bearing capacity of the bridge and adjusts the load limit plan, so as to better ensure the safety of the bridge.
