Abstract:

An approach was presented for detailed deformation monitoring of bridges, by fusing ascending and descending synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data while considering deformation caused by temperature change (named as thermal deformation). Firstly, taking a continuous box girder bridge as an example, the ascending and descending SAR datasets are analyzed based on small baseline subsets interferometric SAR (SBAS?InSAR) to extract line-of-sight (LOS) deformation. Then, thermal deformation model of the bridge is established based on least squares method to separate the periodic thermal deformation and long-term trending deformation. Finally, by combining the structural characteristics of the bridge, fusion of the ascending and descending data based on space-time interpolation and singular value decomposition is conducted, to extract the thermal deformation, the vertical and longitudinal trending deformation, and the deformation mechanism and causative factors of the bridge is analyzed. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can extract accurate thermal deformation and three-dimensional deformation of the bridge, providing reliable methodological support for bridge health monitoring.
