Damage identification for bridges using machine learning: Development and application to KW51 bridge

The available tools for damage identification in civil engineering structures are known to be computationally expensive and data-demanding. This paper proposes a comprehensive machine learning based damage identification (CMLDI) method that integrates modal analysis and dynamic analysis strategies. The proposed approach is applied to a real structure - KW51 railway bridge in Leuven. CMLDI diligently combines signal processing, machine learning (ML), and structural analysis techniques to achieve a fast damage identification solver that relies on minimal monitoring data. CMLDI considers modal analysis inputs and extracted features from acceleration responses to inform the damage identification based on the long-term and short-term monitoring data. Results of operational modal analysis, through the analysis of long-term monitoring data, are analyzed using pre-trained k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classifiers to identify damage existence, location, and magnitude. A well-crafted assembly of signal processing and ML methods is used to analyze acceleration time histories. Stacked gated recurrent unit (Stacked GRU) networks are used to identify damage existence, kNN classifiers are used to identify damage magnitude, and convolutions neural networks (CNN) are used to identify damage location. The damage identification results for the KW51 bridge demonstrate this approach's high accuracy, efficiency, and robustness. In this work, the training data is retrieved from the sensor of the KW51 bridge as well as the numerical finite element model (FEM). The proposed approach presents a systematic path to the generation of training data using a validated FEM. The data generation relies on modeling combinations of damage locations and magnitudes along the bridge.
