Exploring Indirect Vehicle-Bridge Interaction for Bridge SHM

چکیده
In this paper, we explore an indirect measurement approach for bridge structural health monitoring (SHM) that collects sensed information from the dynamic responses of many vehicles travelling over a bridge and then makes extensive use of advanced signal processing techniques to determine information about the state of the bridge. We refer to this approach as vehicle-data driven and indirect. We discuss some of the advantages of this indirect approach over direct monitoring of structures. We simplified the vehicle-bridge interaction and used a numerical oscillator-beam interaction model to generate some preliminary interaction response data with which to begin to assess the validity of this approach. A Multiresolution image classifier was used to analyze the preliminary data. We present the basic idea behind this approach and preliminary results that demonstrate its viability. pattern recognition techniques, including state-ofthe-art multiresolution techniques such as wavelets, to identify the existence, location and severity of damage. The idea is to infer damage from changes in global and local properties of the bridge and its structural response characteristics that are present in the vehicle dynamic response. Such structural response characteristics include resonant frequencies, mode shapes, local deflections, etc.

Indirect frequency measurement of cable-stayed bridges in cross winds
In conventional bridge health monitoring, a number of sensors are deployed on a bridge directly for detecting its various dynamic properties. This is so called “direct method”. But the drawbacks of the direct method are: laborious deployment of sensors, time-consuming, and not portable. Following the previous Yang’s works (2004) in indirect method by using a passing test vehicle as a message re...
متن کاملIndirect structural health monitoring in bridges: scale experiments
In this paper, we use a scale model to experimentally validate an indirect approach to bridge structural health monitoring (SHM). In contrast to a traditional direct monitoring approach with sensors placed on a bridge, the indirect approach uses instrumented vehicles to collect data about the bridge. Indirect monitoring could offer a mobile, sustainable, and economical complementary solution to...
متن کاملSHM-Based Probabilistic Fatigue Life Prediction for Bridges Based on FE Model Updating
Fatigue life prediction for a bridge should be based on the current condition of the bridge, and various sources of uncertainty, such as material properties, anticipated vehicle loads and environmental conditions, make the prediction very challenging. This paper presents a new approach for probabilistic fatigue life prediction for bridges using finite element (FE) model updating based on struct...
متن کاملEffects of track characteristics on dynamic responses of train-bridge systems
High speed trains are an indispensable part of rapid transportation systems in many countries. As the fastest means of transport on the ground, these trains are extremely sensitive to the terrain and track conditions. Geometrical irregularities and mechanical characteristics of the track, together with inconsistencies in the lane (including bridges that support the track) are considered importa...
