Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel structure monitoring, in particular to a long-term monitoring and early warning method suitable for large-span steel frame beams. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of large public buildings, the long-term service safety of large-span steel frame beams as the core load-bearing components faces severe challenges. Under the combined action of complex environmental loads and material aging, such structures are prone to hidden damage such as crack propagation, bolt loosening, and support settlement, and traditional manual detection methods are difficult to find hidden dangers in time.

[0003] The existing monitoring methods have the following technical bottlenecks: 1. Insufficient environmental interference suppression; 2. Weak damage positioning ability: point sensor network based on threshold discrimination cannot perceive the spatial conduction effect of damage; 3. Distortion of long-term prediction model: traditional time series model lacks physical mechanism constraint. 4. Lack of multi-source data fusion: the heterogeneity of strain, vibration, and temperature signals leads to information islands.

[0004] The patent number CN118536385A discloses a bridge support structure state intelligent monitoring and evaluation method based on a neural network model, which uses a Transformer model to process multi-source data and combines three-dimensional laser scanning and GNN to process spatial relationships.

[0005] However, in the prior art, the anti-interference ability of conventional sensors is weak and the long-term stability is poor, and the use of Transformer model to process time series data does not combine actual structural mechanics, which cannot adapt to the complex stress characteristics of steel structures, and the deduced data may have errors. In the existing GNN model, multi-source data is not fused and utilized, and the positioning result of deformation anomalies is not accurate enough. SUMMARY
