Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Land deformation could be result from a geo-hazard event or can serve as an early warning sign for an upcoming catastrophic landslide or subsidence. It is a location-based phenomenon that possesses temporal variation as well. The deformed land causes damage to engineering structures, and the examination of their health condition is also a challenging task after any major hazard event. GIS, free satellite images, and radar data, as well as drone deployment, make the spatial technology not just easy to access but also popular. Deformation patterns or trends could be established by machine learning, and thus the failing engineering structure can be precisely located in a very short time after the event. Any studies on methods or technology that are related to this topic are highly welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue, and case reports are also welcome.

High-speed railway suspension bridges (HSRSBs) have been constructed with the new advancements in technology. The deformation prediction for HSRSBs is essential to their safety and maintenance. The conventional prediction methods are developed for bridges without high-speed railway. Different factors, including temperature (TEMP), time delay compensation (TDC), train live load (TLL), are considered in these methods. However, the train side (TS) and train instantaneous position (TIP) have a significant impact on deformation for HSRSBs, and they are not used in the prediction. More importantly, the coupling issue among different factors is so significant that it cannot be neglected. In this study, we propose a deformation prediction model based on a backpropagation (BP) neural network. This model uses different factors as model input, including TEMP, TDC, TLL, TS, and TIP. The coupling issue is addressed by using the new model. The new model was evaluated using a dataset of 10-day field measurements. It achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 8.81 mm, a mean relative error (MRE) of 9.82%, and coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.94. The new model will provide high-precision prediction for deformation and will be used in the development of an early warning system. Full article
