Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pier scour monitoring, and in particular to an air-water-shore coordinated water-floating buoy type pier scour monitoring system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the hub of modern transportation network, the safe operation of bridge is directly related to the national economic lifeline and people's life and property safety. The pier, as the main load-bearing structure of the bridge, is subjected to long-term scour of water flow, resulting in loss of riverbed soil and formation of local scour pits. The continuous development of scour pits will significantly weaken the carrying capacity and stability of the pier, which is a major hidden danger threatening the safety of the bridge and even causing structural collapse. Therefore, continuous and high-precision monitoring of the riverbed topography around the pier is the core task of the safety maintenance of the bridge in the operation period.

[0003] There have been many researches and attempts on the monitoring technology for pier scour, but the monitoring technology has obvious limitations: single-point contact measurement is difficult to reflect the overall situation of the scour pit and is easy to damage; waterborne measurement cannot be continuously operated and has high cost and interference to navigation; fixed underwater monitoring has visual blind area and maintenance difficulty. Although the single buoy monitoring appeared in recent years realizes fixed-point deployment, its function is isolated and only focuses on underwater topography, which cannot synchronously obtain key environmental data such as water flow and ship navigation, making it difficult to analyze the causes of scour; at the same time, it lacks verification of data and buoy state from other perspectives, and the local data processing capacity is limited, making it difficult to perform in-depth correlation analysis.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology cannot cooperatively analyze underwater scour, water surface environment and bridge structure response. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an integrated monitoring system that can realize multi-dimensional information cooperative collection and intelligent fusion to comprehensively improve the reliability and intelligent level of monitoring.

An air-water-land coordinated pier scour and bridge condition monitoring method based on the monitoring system of any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that, The method comprises the following steps: S1: collaborative task planning and triggering The cloud monitoring platform (5) predicts the time window in which the water flow is stable and conducive to scanning measurement based on astronomical tide prediction data, and issues a collaborative scanning task instruction to the control unit (6) of the buoy platform (1) and the shore-based collaborative monitoring station (4); S2: synchronous acquisition of air-water-land multi-source data Within the time window, the terrain scanning module (2) and the water monitoring module (3) of the buoy platform (1), and the laser scanner (42) and the high-definition video monitoring camera (41) of the shore-based collaborative monitoring station (4) are synchronously triggered; all the collected data are attached with unified time and space reference marks by the cloud monitoring platform (5); S3: data fusion and dynamic reference correction The cloud monitoring platform (5) accesses real-time tidal level data, and uses the level data to dynamically correct and unify the elevation reference of the underwater terrain data and the vertical reference of the laser three-dimensional scanning data collected in step S2, so as to eliminate the influence of tidal level change on the measurement data and realize the data fusion of the water and underwater integrated three-dimensional model under the unified reference; S4: time sequence comparison and change amount analysis The cloud monitoring platform (5) compares the corrected underwater terrain three-dimensional data collected at different time periods with the laser three-dimensional scanning data in time sequence; Based on the time sequence comparison, the depth change amount, volume change amount and morphological evolution parameters of the pier foundation scour pit are calculated, and the displacement and deformation amount of the pier main body and superstructure are also calculated; S5: comprehensive safety state evaluation and early warning Based on the change amount and deformation amount obtained in S4, the video information of the channel ships and water flow state recorded by the high-definition video monitoring camera (41) and the video acquisition unit (32) is analyzed in association; When the change amount or deformation amount exceeds the preset threshold, the cloud monitoring platform (5) automatically generates a comprehensive safety state evaluation report and issues a warning information.
