Bridge damage identification based on convolutional autoencoders and extreme gradient boosting trees
To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of bridge damage identification,a novel data-driven damage identification method was proposed.First,convolutional autoencoder(CAE)was used to extract key features from the acceleration signal of the bridge structure through data reconstruction.The extreme gradient boosting tree(XGBoost)was then used to perform analysis on the feature data to achieve damage detection with high accuracy and high performance.The proposed method was applied in a numerical simulation study on a three-span continuous girder and further validated experimentally on a scaled model of a cable-stayed bridge.The numerical simulation results show that the identification errors remain within 2.9％for six single-damage cases and within 3.1％for four double-damage cases.The experimental validation results demonstrate that when the tension in a single cable of the cable-stayed bridge decreases by 20％,the method accurately identifies damage at different cable locations using only sensors installed on the main girder,achieving identification accuracies above 95.8％in all cases.The proposed method shows high identification accuracy and generalization ability across various damage scenarios.
