混凝土桥面板中的分层、空洞和蜂窝状缺陷严重影响耐久性,但传统目视或人工敲击检测难以可靠发现。本文提出一种基于机器学习的冲击回波(IE)框架,实现缺陷定位与多类别的自动分类。利用美国联邦公路管理局(FHWA)实验室板和在役桥面板的原始IE信号,经快速傅里叶变换(FFT)提取主频特征,并插值生成缺陷区域可视化空间图。采用无监督k-means聚类识别低频易损区域,结合实验室中预设缺陷的真值掩膜(GTMs)验证空间准确性并生成高置信度训练标签。从这些有效区域提取有序的主频序列,输入堆叠的长短期记忆(LSTM)网络,对浅层分层、深层分层、空洞和蜂窝状四种缺陷分类,整体准确率达73%。现场桥梁验证表明,基于实验室数据训练的模型在实际耦合、噪声及环境变化下仍具泛化能力。该框架提升了无损检测(NDE)的客观性、可扩展性和可重复性,支持大规模桥梁健康监测的数据驱动智能决策。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Subsurface defects such as delamination, voids, and honeycombing critically affect the durability of concrete bridge decks but are difficult to detect reliably using visual inspection or manual sounding. This paper presents a machine learning based Impact Echo (IE) framework that automates both defect localization and multi-class classification of common concrete defects. Raw IE signals from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) laboratory slabs and in-service bridge decks are transformed via Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) into dominant peak-frequency features and interpolated into spatial maps for defect zone visualization. Unsupervised k-means clustering highlights low-frequency, defect-prone regions, while Ground Truth Masks (GTMs) derived from seeded lab defects are used to validate spatial accuracy and generate high-confidence training labels. From these validated regions, spatially ordered peak-frequency sequences are constructed and fed into a stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network that classifies four defect types shallow delamination, deep delamination, voids, and honeycombing with 73% overall accuracy. Field validation on the bridge deck demonstrates that models trained on laboratory data generalize under realistic coupling, noise, and environmental variability. The proposed framework enhances the objectivity, scalability, and repeatability of Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE), supporting intelligent, data-driven bridge health monitoring at a network scale.
