Abstract:In order to master a large amount of hidden information contained in bridge health monitoring data and improve the shortcomings of traditional structural damage identification methods, a damage identification method based on bridge monitoring data is proposed. The acceleration response is extracted from the finite element simulation data and the actual monitoring data. And the raw data are preprocessed. By using the convolution neural network and stacked auto-encoding neural network, the visual images and time series of monitoring data of Mingzhou Bridge are identified respectively, at the same time, are compared with the identification accuracy of the shallow neural network. The results show that the damage identification methods based on deep learning and monitoring data all have the excellent performances whether through the image identification or through the data sequence identification. The identification accuracy rate is over 85%. Compared with the shallow neural network, the deep neural network has the stronger ability to classify the damage conditions, and the identification accuracy rate is increased by more than 20%.
