Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge engineering construction monitoring, and in particular to a digital twin system for incremental launching construction monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Incremental launching construction is a bridge construction method where bridge segments are prefabricated behind the abutment and pushed forward one by one until the bridge is in place. Traditional bridge incremental launching construction methods mainly rely on two-dimensional drawings or static three-dimensional models, which have problems such as insufficient real-time performance, isolated data, and monitoring limitations. For example, two-dimensional drawings are not intuitive when showing complex construction scenarios, and static three-dimensional models cannot dynamically reflect the state changes during the construction process, making it difficult to detect abnormal situations in a timely manner. Existing digital twin systems are usually of general design and are mostly applicable to static monitoring or post-analysis, and cannot meet the high requirements for real-time dynamic updates, high-fidelity simulation, and construction adjustment during the bridge incremental launching construction process.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN118394984A provides a method and system for visualizing the incremental launching progress of a steel truss girder based on digital twins. Aiming at the problem in the prior art that the visualization of the incremental launching progress of a steel truss girder requires manual updating of the bridge main structure model and lacks an automatic updating mechanism, it uses the incremental launching displacement monitoring data of the steel truss girder to drive the model to automatically change in real time, realizing digital twins in the incremental launching construction progress of the steel truss girder and improving the efficiency and accuracy of construction management. However, the above application does not consider the possible error problems in displacement measurement during incremental launching, which is likely to affect the accuracy of digital twins when the error impact is large.

[0048] (1) Physical construction site: It consists of a top-pushing construction system and a sensor system. The sensor system transmits the collected construction data to the digital construction space, so that the digital construction can not only reflect the simple geometric physical model, but also support dynamic high-precision real-time simulation, becoming a comprehensive high-fidelity model that integrates geometric, physical, behavioral, and rule elements, and can truly reflect the accurate status of the physical construction site.

[0049] (2) Interactive feedback connection: Integrate modern information transmission technology and precise detection technology to achieve efficient information interaction between physical construction sites, virtual construction and application service systems.

[0051] Regarding the layout of the hardware measurement points of the system, in this embodiment, the Beidou chassis is used to remotely and real-time monitor the position and rigid body attitude of the beam, so as to achieve a real-time and accurate understanding of the state of the jacking construction process.

[0052] Regarding the software architecture of this embodiment, the digital twin system is generally divided into a data transmission and conversion module, a BIM module, a model dynamic update module, an index overrun warning module, and a real-time effect rendering and information display module. A tool chain software written in Python is used to connect between the modules.

[0053] The system construction process includes:

[0054] (1) Establish a digital twin platform, including modules such as beam segment prefabrication, jacking equipment operation, and beam segment jacking process.

[0055] (2) Use existing 3D modeling software to construct 3D models of beam segments and jacking equipment, and import them into the simulation platform to set construction steps and operation processes.

[0065] Based on the real-time collected construction data, set the model update frequency and strategy. Use the update module written in Python to achieve automatic adjustment and update of model parameters.

[0066] Through Beidou satellite monitoring and total station measurement methods, ensure that the measurement error during the entire jacking process is controlled within 2%. Verify the measurement accuracy through experimental data and perform error correction in the model.

[0067] Compared with the traditional construction plan and the existing digital twin system, this method has the following technical advantages:

[0068] (1) A digital twin system designed specifically for bridge jacking construction, which realizes real-time high-precision monitoring and error correction through Beidou monitoring and total station technology, effectively making up for the deficiency of the real-time performance of the traditional plan.

[0069] (2) The system design integrates high-fidelity dynamic simulation functions of geometric, physical, behavioral, and rule elements, and can accurately reflect the key dynamic parameters (such as force, displacement, etc.) during the jacking construction process.

[0070] (3) A complete data flow interface is constructed, realizing the full-link interconnection of the physical construction site, virtual model, and application service system, and supporting the efficient fusion and processing of multi-source data.

[0071] (4) The system has abnormal detection and real-time warning functions. Combining with the dynamic update model and the index overrun warning module, it significantly improves the safety and controllability of the construction.
