Variability of Measured Damage Alarming Index of a Long-span Suspension Bridge under Ambient Excitation
This paper addresses the quantitative evaluation of environmental variability of wavelet packet energy spectrum(WPES)extracted from the ambient dynamic responses of a suspension bridge using wavelet packet transform(WPT).The daily averaged WPES are first obtained to eliminate the inherent randomness arising from the identification algorithm.Then the effect of temperature on the measured WPES is quantified using the seasonal correlation models.The traffic-induced and wind-induced variability are further quantitatively evaluated by the traffic-WPES and wind-WPES correlation models.The results reveal that temperature and inherent randomness are the governing sources of WPES variability.And the WPES variability caused by wind speed and traffic loadings is negligible compared to temperature and inherent randomness.Considering seasonal correlation models of temperature-WPES can effectively eliminate the temperature effect and inherent randomness
so it is suitable for structural damage alarming of long-span bridges if future seasonal correlation models deviate from these normal models.
