Abstract:

Current structural durability specification of the proving ground fail to fully capture the complex load characteristics under the actual user operating conditions, which results in a discrepancy between the proving ground conditions and the actual user use. In this study the characteristics of user structural durability are analyzed based on user big data. Furthermore, the characteristics of the 'proving ground-user' correlation are studied. Firstly, the user data is subjected to preprocessing, and a multivariate time-sequence adaptive segmentation method is employed to construct user-operating segments. The characteristic parameters of operating segments are constructed from three perspectives: time domain, frequency domain and damage. Subsequently, linear and nonlinear methods are employed for feature parameter dimensionality reduction. K-Means clustering is employed to categorize the data into six typical operating conditions. For each typical operating condition, operating characteristics, damage contributions, and inter-city variations in user data are analyzed. Finally, a similarity analysis is conducted to map the relationship between the proving ground reinforced pavement and typical operating conditions. Differences in damage targets, power spectral densities, and extrapolated rain flow are analyzed, and the reasons for the differences are explored through the joint ‘damage level-speed’ distribution. The findings provide a foundation for selecting structural durability test conditions, defining life cycle objectives, and improving proving ground specifications under user conditions.
