Research on Construction Alignment Prediction of Continuous Rigid‑frame Bridges Based on Machine Learning
Given the time-varying characteristics of material parameters caused by complex environmental factors during the construction of continuous rigid-frame bridges
the traditional finite element analysis method is limited by the assumption of a single design parameter
and it is difficult to accurately simulate the actual changing state of the influencing parameters during the construction process
which leads to key technical problems such as insufficient alignment control accuracy during bridge construction. Therefore
this study proposed an intelligent prediction method for construction alignment of continuous rigid-frame bridges based on machine learning. First
parametric finite element modeling was used to simulate the construction deflection response under the coupling of multiple factors
and a complete deflection prediction sample database was constructed. On this basis
four construction-alignment prediction models based on support vector machine (SVM)
random forest (RF)
long short-term memory network (LSTM)
and particle swarm optimization backpropagation neural network (PSO-BP) were established
and their prediction accuracy was compared and analyzed. The results showed that the prediction accuracy of RF and ELM models was relatively low. The LSTM model exhibited better prediction accuracy
with a maximum prediction error of 1.2 mm. The PSO-BP model showed the best prediction performance. Its R² values for the training set and the test set were 0.996 and 0.992
respectively. The absolute error of the predicted deflection was only 0.55 mm
and the relative error was less than 10%. The PSO-BP neural network enables accurate prediction of construction deflection
effectively improves the alignment control level of continuous rigid-frame bridge construction
and enhances the closure alignment accuracy of the bridge. The findings provide an important technical reference for the intelligent construction of bridge engineering.
