Full-Section Deformation Monitoring of High-Altitude Fault Tunnels Based on Three-Dimensional Laser Scanning Technology.

In traditional tunnel monitoring, the characteristic points of an object within a tunnel are measured to obtain information about the object. Considering the limitations of the traditional method in measuring the complex surface structure of tunnels, such as limited monitoring points, a long measurement period, and low precision, this study introduces an approach that uses three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning for monitoring tunnel cross-section deformation. Using this approach, the soft surrounding rock of a high-altitude ultralong tunnel was taken as the monitoring object.

Dynamic Threshold Cable-Stayed Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on Temperature Effect Correction.

The early health warning of a cable-stayed bridge is of great significance for discovering the abnormal condition of the structure, eliminating the risk factors, and ensuring the normal operation of the bridge in order to set a reasonable safety monitoring threshold to ensure the safety warning and condition assessment of the bridge structure. A method of dynamic early warning by considering the temperature effect is adopted in this paper on the basis of the benchmark threshold. Based on the long-term deflection monitoring data of a bridge in Wuhan, the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) extreme value analysis theory is used to set the benchmark threshold.
