Abstract:In order to solve the problem of damage identification and location of corrugated steel web box girder, taking the corrugated steel web box girder in Shanghaitang Bridge Project as the research object, the damage structure calculation model of corrugated steel web box girder is established by finite element software of Ansys Workbench. Combined with BP neural network learning and repeated training function, the modes of corrugated steel web box girder before and after damage ware retrained and calculated to explore the change rule between the damage degree and position of corrugated steel web box girder and the modal parameters. The study shows that the modal parameters of corrugated steel web box girder present a downward trend after damage, and the influence of different degree and location of damage on the modal parameters is different. The structural damage degree has a linear relationship with the decline of modal parameters. The trained BP neural network can identify the damage error of corrugated steel web box girder within 3%. The reliability and accuracy of the trained BP neural network for damage identification of corrugated steel web box girder are verified.
