摘要
As the number of old bridges increases worldwide, economic and maintenance issues are emerging due to the deterioration of these structures. In general, the conventional approach for the safety assessment of existing bridges is based on performing structural analysis and safety verifications, starting from the material properties obtained from experimental tests. In particular, for some old bridges, the design documents are not computerized or stored, so many additional field tests may be required due to the uncertainty of information. In this paper, we proposed a framework that can estimate the load-carrying capacity of old bridges for which the design documents are absent, and field tests are not used in this process. The framework relies on computational design strength and features procedures for calculating calibration factors to reflect the current conditions. With only limited information available with regard to bridges, the key to this study is its use of AI technology. First, the relationship between externally measurable geometric characteristics and the design strength was established based on 124 design documents. In this process, we compared the performance of five regression algorithms: multiple linear regression (MLR), decision tree (DT), boosting tree (BT), support vector machine (SVM), and Gaussian process regression (GPR). It was confirmed that it is possible to predict the design strength using GPR, with an error rate of 0.3%. Second, an ANN model was built to estimate the calibration factor as a condition assessment of 82 in-service bridges. The ANN was determined using optimal parameters with a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.008. Each type of AI used in the proposed framework showed a high predictive performance, implying that it can be used to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of bridges without a design document.
