Description
Summary:To solve the problem that the damage diagnosis model of cable-stayed bridges cannot quantitatively evaluate its validity, the verification method of the diagnosis model is investigated. A model validation method [Root-Mean-Square Error (RMSE)-Statistical Hypothesis Test (SHT), R–S] that combines the RMSE evaluation index and the SHT is proposed and applied to the reliability evaluation of the cable-stayed bridge data mining damage diagnosis model. First, the R–S method evaluates the diagnostic effect of the model via the evaluation index. Second, the SHT method is used to quantitatively compare the consistency between the output data of the diagnostic model and the actual structure output data. Finally, the validity of the model is quantitatively evaluated. The application process of the proposed method is demonstrated by an example. The results show that the diagnostic model has strong reliability and that the confidence level Pδ exceeds 90%, which indicates the effectiveness of the diagnostic model verification method.
