Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of road and bridge engineering monitoring technology, specifically an adaptive settlement monitoring system for the connection section between highway subgrade and bridge. Background Technology
[0002] The section connecting the roadbed and bridge is a crucial transitional area, typically extending 20–50 meters behind the abutment. Bridges are rigid structures with deep pile foundations and minimal settlement, while roadbeds are flexible fill with high compressibility and significant settlement. This significant difference in stiffness and settlement characteristics makes them highly susceptible to uneven settlement, leading to problems such as bridge approach slab settlement and pavement cracking, severely impacting driving safety and ride comfort. Manual precision leveling typically uses S3-class or higher level instruments and Invar tapes to set up settlement piles and observation points along the transition section (5–10 meters behind the abutment), periodically measuring elevation differences with an accuracy of ±0.1 mm. Automated monitoring utilizes multi-point synchronous continuous monitoring with a hydrostatic level, settlement measurements of different soil layers using a layered settlement gauge, and long-distance, high-precision sensing with fiber optic grating sensors to achieve automatic data acquisition, transmission, and early warning. For areas with good visibility, GNSS or total stations can be used to achieve real-time three-dimensional deformation monitoring, taking into account both settlement and horizontal displacement. Auxiliary monitoring methods can be combined with inclinometers and strain gauges to monitor lateral displacement and structural stress, further refining deformation analysis. The challenges of settlement monitoring lie in the difficulty of accurately capturing settlement gradients, numerous environmental interferences, such as construction vibrations, vehicle loads, rainwater infiltration, and temperature changes affecting data stability. Dead angles and narrow spaces behind abutments make the placement and observation of measuring points difficult. Furthermore, settlement is influenced by the coupling of multiple factors including geology, load, and construction, exhibiting strong nonlinear and time-varying characteristics.
[0003] Currently, traditional adaptive settlement monitoring systems for highway subgrade and bridge connection sections mostly rely on manual assessment of existing defects, focusing only on long-term static cumulative differential settlement of road and bridge structures, completely ignoring transient differential settlement under vehicle dynamic loads and coupling deformation of approach slabs at the corners. In addition, traditional systems cannot distinguish between permanent settlement caused by soil creep and elastic instantaneous deformation caused by dynamic loads. The single-point measurement point layout strategy is difficult to truly reflect the overall coupled deformation law, and it is even more impossible to predict the trend of settlement deterioration and the risk of bridge approach slab settlement in advance, making it difficult to provide a scientific and reliable basis for preventive maintenance. Summary of the Invention

There is a historical transverse crack in the measuring point grid in the 3rd column and 2nd row, three additional measuring points should be added to the historical crack in the grid in the 3rd column and 2nd row, respectively located at the two farthest endpoints and the center point of the historical crack. There is a historical hollow area in the measuring point grid in the 1st column and 4th row, one additional measuring point should be added within the historical hollow area of the grid in the 1st column and 4th row, located at the highest point within the historical hollow area. There is a historical pit in the measuring point grid in the 4th column and 5th row, one additional measuring point should be added within the historical pit area of the grid in the 4th column and 5th row, located at the lowest point within the historical pit area. The additional measuring points do not overlap with the original grid center point measuring points, and there are no duplicate markings; The road and bridge feedback evaluation module is set with a fixed monitoring cycle.

Internal, connecting section Trend Index Its expression is as follows: In the formula, Represents the weight, and satisfies ; Specifically, trend index This index is used to quantify and predict the development trend of bridge approach slab settlement, providing data support for subsequent accurate risk level classification and pre-emptive matching of treatment measures. The closer the index value is to 1, the more significant the deterioration trend of settlement and deformation of the connection section, the higher the risk of structural resonance, and the greater the probability of future bridge approach slab settlement and settlement exceeding limits. The following is the experimental data for the trend index, as shown in Table 3: Table 3. Experimental Data of Trend Index In Table 3, the experimental data of the trend index were selected as the experimental target for the secondary highway connection section A.

Used to quickly determine the settlement and deformation risk level of the connection section between highway subgrade and bridge, and the trend threshold range. The calibration method is as follows: The highway engineering operation monitoring database was used to screen connection section samples at different stages of deformation development, covering various situations such as stable deformation trend (low risk, level 1), slow deformation trend (medium risk, level 2), and accelerated deterioration of deformation trend (high risk, level 3). Core trend calculation data of the sample connection sections were extracted (such as resonance sensitivity coefficient, deformation deviation coefficient, temperature expansion and contraction coefficient, and trend index). The data includes three-dimensional spatial field monitoring records and subsequent risk management monitoring results (such as changes in trend index, deformation convergence, and the effectiveness of resonance risk elimination). Different candidate threshold ranges are set. In each calibration experiment, the risk level of the sample connection segment is classified according to the candidate threshold range. The matching degree between the classification results and the actual deformation monitoring and survey conclusions is recorded. Then, combined with the dynamic monitoring data of road section operation, the trend index of the sample connection segment under different preventive intervention intensities is simulated. The trend of risk level changes was analyzed, and the upper and lower limits of the candidate threshold intervals were adjusted. Multiple verification experiments were conducted to record the impact of threshold interval settings on risk level assessment and subsequent treatment. For each candidate threshold interval, the collected sample monitoring data and dynamic simulation results were used as inputs to count the number of times low-risk level transition segments were misjudged as high-risk level transition segments due to improper interval range settings (counted as over-assessment), the number of times high-risk level transition segments were misjudged as low-risk level transition segments (counted as under-assessment), and the degree of consistency between the risk level classification results and the effectiveness of subsequent treatment (such as timeliness of treatment, disease control effect, traffic safety, deformation recurrence rate, etc.). Finally, the interval range that minimizes both over-assessment and under-assessment rates and has the highest consistency with the effectiveness of subsequent treatment was selected as the trend threshold interval.

[0020] In this embodiment, a multi-dimensional acquisition module connects to a database, a big data platform, and sensing devices to efficiently acquire three core data categories: engineering, settlement, and operation. This provides stable and reliable data support for subsequent analysis. The road and bridge distress analysis module, based on a hierarchical weighted algorithm, accurately calculates the effects of soil creep, transient settlement, stiffness degradation, and vehicle dynamic loads, generating a quantitative distress index. This enables objective assessment of the severity of road defects at connecting sections of highways of different grades, addressing the issues of strong subjectivity and insufficient accuracy in traditional manual assessments. The scene analysis module constructs a three-dimensional spatial field using GIS. By intelligently deploying monitoring points based on parameters such as traffic volume, coverage area, and slope, and dynamically densifying them according to conditions such as vibration, cracks, and hollowness, a high-precision, adaptive spatial monitoring grid is formed, achieving comprehensive deformation sensing across the entire connection section without blind spots. The road-bridge feedback assessment module operates on a fixed monitoring cycle. Based on this, the trend index is calculated by integrating three major coefficients: resonance sensitivity, deformation deviation, and temperature expansion and contraction. It can predict the trend of settlement deterioration and the risk of bridge approach slab settlement in advance, providing a scientific basis for preventive maintenance. The adaptive control module is set with a fixed range of disease threshold intervals. and trend threshold range It automatically determines the level of defects and risk and matches graded treatment strategies. It also supports real-time updates of the three-dimensional spatial field under special working conditions, realizing a closed-loop operation of monitoring, assessment, control and feedback. It significantly improves maintenance efficiency, reduces operational risks, and ensures driving safety and structural durability. It is applicable to settlement monitoring and defect control of road and bridge connection sections of all grades.

The size of the threshold depends on the amount of sample data and the number of bases set by those skilled in the art for each set of sample data; as long as it does not affect the ratio between the parameter and the quantized value, it is acceptable.

The coefficients in the formulas are set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.
