摘要

The health condition of expansion joints, which are critical components linking bridge structures, is crucial for the safety and stability of bridges. This study proposes a method for predicting the evolution intervals of expansion joints by integrating complex network topology features with an enhanced fuzzy information granulation technique, aiming to establish an intelligent framework for analyzing multiscale monitoring data. Methodologically, the study first develops a topological correlation model for the deformation behavior of expansion joints based on complex network theory, which uncovers the nonlinear interaction mechanisms among monitoring data collected from multiple locations. Subsequently, the fuzzy granulation technique is refined, and new parameters are introduced to establish an optimized dynamic membership function, enabling a reasonable partitioning of the feature space while preserving the integrity of the nonlinear characteristics of the original data. The methodology is validated through experiments using four sets of multi-source measurement data from expansion joints under various service environments (including time scales of 0.5 and 1 h). The results demonstrate that, compared to other benchmark models, the proposed method achieves a significant improvement in both the coverage probability and the interval width indices. The Prediction Interval Nominal Confidence (PICP) meets the Prediction Interval Nominal Confidence (PINC), and the Coverage Width-based Criterion (CWC) remains consistently below 0.24, representing a 41.7% average reduction compared to the benchmark models.
