Abstract:Aiming at the prediction problem of bridge structural response, and based on the segment recurrent neural network (segment recurrent neural network, SegRNN), a response prediction method is proposed able to predict the response within the next 24h and 48h. The data segment will be input into SegRNN to reduce the number of iterations of the recurrent neural network (recurrent neural network, RNN). In the decoding phase, a parallel multi-step prediction method is used to replace the iterative loop multi-step prediction method of RNN, which enhances the prediction accuracy. Taking the past bridge response data and temperature and traffic load data as input, SegRNN is used to predict the future responses. The strain, end-beam displacement and GPS data of a long-span concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge over a one-year period are analyzed. The monitoring data from 10 typical measuring point locations are selected as the dataset to test the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the average values of the average absolute error and average mean square error indicators of SegRNN in all tests are 0.254 and 0.387 respectively, achieving 12 and 11 best results respectively, which has the significant advantage compared with LSTM(long short-term memory) and Transformer networks. The proposed method can be applied to actual bridge monitoring and provide the support for the risk prediction of bridges.
