Operational modal analysis (OMA) has garnered great attention in vibration-based structural health monitoring of bridges because it only requires vibration measurements from multiple sensors. Slight asynchronization often occurs in these measurements during the monitoring process. Applying classical OMA methods, such as the natural excitation technique (NExT) combined with the eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA), to asynchronous vibration measurements can lead to significant errors in modal parameters. To address this issue, this study proposes a modal assurance criterion (MAC)-based time synchronization technique to generate reliable synchronous vibration measurements for modal identification. The MAC-based method takes advantage of the proportionality of modal components and is only capable of detecting nonsynchronized issues between single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) signals. A variational mode extraction (VME) technique is employed to iteratively decompose bridge vibration measurements into SDOF components. The VME technique eliminates the need for artificially predefining the number of modes, which was required in many signal decomposition techniques. After time synchronization, the proposed method employs the NExT–ERA-based automatic OMA method for modal identification. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using vibration measurements from both the finite element model of a highway bridge and field monitoring data from an actual bridge. The results show that the proposed method successfully synchronizes vibration signals and identifies mode shapes, even in the presence of modal node phenomena.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49471,"journal":{"name":"Structural Control & Health Monitoring","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/stc/4398316","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a system identification framework for estimating the in situ foundation stiffness of a parked OWT is presented using a model updating approach applied to simulated data.

Its primary aim is to identify a specific set of structural characteristics, such as Young’s modulus, area, inertia, and possibly their combinations (e.g., flexural or axial stiffness). These characteristics can be uniquely determined when provided with a suitable subset of deflections, forces, and/or moments at the nodes of the structure. This problem is particularly intricate within the realm of structural system identification, mainly due to the presence of nonlinear unknown variables, such as the product of vertical deflection and flexural stiffness, in accordance with modern methodologies. Consequently, the mechanical and geometrical properties of the structure are intricately linked with node deflections and/or rotations. The paper at hand serves a dual purpose: firstly, it introduces the concept of static-state estimation, especially tailored for the identification of structural systems; and secondly, it presents a novel observability analysis method grounded in static-state estimation principles, designed to overcome the aforementioned challenges. Computational experiments shed light on the algorithm’s potential for practical structural system identification applications, demonstrating significant advantages over the existing state-of-the-art methods found in the literature. It is noteworthy that these advantages could potentially be further amplified by addressing the static-state estimation principles problem, which constitutes a subject for future research.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems for long-span bridges capture structural response information and generate substantial data but face issues like sensor faults, environmental noise, and data transmission problems that can degrade data quality and hinder accurate seismic response identification. To address the problem, a multi-input end-to-end deep learning method for seismic event detection is proposed. Vibration data of different directions are separately utilized, and the interference of multi-type anomalous data is considered. First, the segmented acceleration time series were transformed into time-domain, frequency-domain, and probability density curve images, respectively, to form three-channel images; then, images from three directions were input to the neural network in parallel. Back-end architectures are constructed based on two fusion strategies, i.e., decision fusion and feature fusion. Consistent detection results across three-dimensional image sets can be obtained by the end-to-end architecture. A global voting process is implemented to further fuse the detection results of different image sets at the same moment. The proposed method is verified using data from two actual seismic events of a cable-stayed bridge. The results show that the proposed method can consistently and accurately detect seismic events even with interference from anomalous data.

The antiseepage of reservoirs is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the construction of reservoirs in karst regions. Adopting the field test method combined with advanced geological exploration instruments and survey technologies, the antiseepage measures are studied in the construction of a reservoir located within a China’s super karst region. Through a detailed hydrogeological survey, the reservoir water seeps out through the downstream primary and secondary fracture points along the limestone dissolution erosion zone through the upstream sinkholes. According to the topography, lithology, submerged area, and seepage form and direction in the reservoir area, a vertical grouting curtain is proposed to block the seepage of reservoir water to the downstream. Based on the normal water level, impermeable layer (slate) distribution, and the lowest discharge datum plane, the left, right, and bottom boundaries of the vertical curtain grouting are determined, and the maximum grouting depth reaches 131.75 m. The double curtain grouting method is proposed to reduce the construction difficulty of the super-deep grouting curtain in the intense karst area, and alongside a method is put forward to integrate the upper and lower curtains into a cohesive unit. Practical validation through the Yundong Reservoir project demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed treatment scheme, ensuring seepage-free performance for 6 years under normal water levels.

When it comes to structural health monitoring (SHM) for real-world applications, data-driven models need to improve sensitivity and robustness toward damage due to the EC-dependent variance. For systems situated outdoors, changing ECs affects the stiffness properties without causing permanent alterations to the structure. Applying data normalization strategies to consider these natural variations is not easy to conduct and is unfavorable for sensitivity regarding damage. To address these challenges, the model’s input variables are non-standardized to avoid input-related modifications and to feature a higher sensitivity toward structural changes. The autoencoder’s ability to capture structural variations caused by ECs and to handle non-standardized time series data makes it favorable for real-world applications. By quantifying the input-residual correlations, sensitivity, and robustness can be improved; no adjustments to the model have to be made. The autoencoder’s black-box nature is inspected by analyzing a linear dynamic 8DOF system and the Leibniz University Structure for Monitoring (LUMO).
