To overcome this challenge, this study develops an unsupervised cross-domain method for bridge damage detection based on interclass alignment of time-frequency features extracted from multichannel sensor data. The computational framework was developed based on a deep subdomain adaptation network integrating digital and physical information. Initially, a multichannel symmetric dot pattern was utilized to transform the structural acceleration signals into a comprehensive image. Subsequently, a convolutional block attention module-enhanced ResNet34 (CBAM-ResNet34) was constructed to extract discriminative time-frequency features, where a local maximum mean discrepancy principle was introduced to perform class-conditional alignment across subdomains. Compared with traditional global domain alignment methods, the proposed approach focuses on aligning class-conditional distributions within subdomains to improve the generalization performance with unlabeled datasets. The proposed method was validated on both simulated and experimental datasets collected from a laboratory-scaled steel truss bridge. Furthermore, a case study on the Old ADA Bridge in Japan was presented to demonstrate the robustness and practical applicability of the proposed approach, serving as a benchmark against classic unsupervised methods. The results show that the proposed framework has a substantial improvement in source-to-target transfer recognition performance.

However, existing methods for BP settlement prediction face three challenges: limited dataset size, inconsistent observation periods across measuring points, and difficulty in synchronizing spatiotemporal correlations between points. To address these issues, this paper proposes a multi-point prediction method for HSR-BPs based on the Inverted Hermite Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (KAN) Transformer. First, construct a dataset with consistent observation days through interpolation and measuring points screening; Second, integrate a HermiteKANLinear Module into the Key-Query-Value attention mechanism to capture spatial–temporal dependencies; Then, replace the traditional multilayer perceptron with a HermiteKAN to improve prediction accuracy. Experimental validation using 34 sets of augmented settlement data demonstrates the proposed method's superiority over 14 baseline methods. Experiments of both single and multiple measurement points show significant performance gains: Compared to the single measurement point, the multiple measurement points using the proposed method reduce mean absolute error, root mean square error, and MAPE by 21.16%, 20.57%, and 21.11%, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method outperforms eight deep learning models across varying prediction lengths.

However, existing methods for monitoring slab damage are limited and inconvenient. There is an urgent need to utilize available monitoring data to rapidly and accurately assess the condition of slab damage, and to implement responsive decision-making and early warning measures to prevent dam failure. To address this issue, this study proposes a deep learning (DL) methodology for the rapid identification of slab damage. A multi-objective optimization algorithm, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm ll (NSGA-II), is employed to carry out inversion analysis and obtain the actual permeability coefficients, which are then used as inputs in numerical seepage simulations of dam behavior after slab damage. Based on the simulation results, a DL model is constructed to establish an accurate mapping relationship between the information of slab damage and the corresponding monitoring data. Given that current DL models often fail to explicitly and effectively capture the importance of features across sequences—leading to redundancy, reduced accuracy, and poor interpretability, a hierarchical optimization structure based on multi-head attention mechanisms is proposed. Specifically, two multi-head attention modules controlling input weights are innovatively integrated into both the input and hidden layers of the DL model, forming a dual multi-head attention enhanced (DMAE) architecture. This structure can be embedded within basic DL models for training and prediction. A case study of the cracked Sanbanxi CFRD project shows that the DMAE-Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) model outperforms other DL models in terms of prediction accuracy and robustness, suggesting it is the most suitable for the identification and prediction of slab damage. Furthermore, the visualization of input attention weights reveals that the key factors in identifying slab damage and should be prioritized in future seepage pressure monitoring. This study fills a critical gap in the field of slab damage identification, provides both technical support and theoretical foundations for intelligent diagnosis and interpretability analysis of slab damage in CFRDs.</p>","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"40 29","pages":"5596-5624"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145396613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
