TY - CONF A1 - Baeßler, Matthias T1 - On potentials and challenges of physics-informed SHM for civil engineering structures N2 - Physics-informed structural health monitoring, which incorporates realistic physical models of material behavior, structural response, damage mechanisms, and aging processes, offers a promising framework to enhance monitoring capabilities and inform operation and maintenance planning. Nevertheless, the technical challenges and model requirements associated with this approach are highly context-dependent and can vary significantly across different applications. The presentation focusses on two case studies that highlight challenges and progress in Physics informed SHM.

While purely vertical shaking is quite unlikely to be found in vibration analysis when it comes to granular materials as soils, it has been found that the vertical vibration of railway bridge support structures can affect the fabric of the ballasted track on top. Starting from the experience at French railway lines with destabilizing track conditions on short bridges in high speed lines in the 1990s, various shake table test configurations have been used to investigate the destabiliza-tion of ballast at high acceleration levels. This article describes the effects of the variously investigated dynamic excitations of railway bridges on the bal-lasted track itself.

As part of the European InBridge4EU project, this study addresses methodological uncertainties in linking vertical bridge vibrations to lateral track creep—a key focus area for modernizing assess-ment protocols. A comparative analysis of two acceleration postprocessing methods (peak identification vs. fatigue-derived rainflow counting) as part of a recently proposed framework was conducted using an example bridge and train combination. Results demonstrate that rainflow counting yields more conservative creep estimates with the bulk of cumulative vibration-induced creep attributable to accelerations exceeding 3 m/s². However, discretizing acceleration ranges into 1 m/s² bins introduced significant errors compared to continuous cycle data, highlighting sensitivity to analysis parameters. These findings underscore the complexity of reconciling laboratory-derived harmonic vibration models with real-world bridge dynamics, where non-uni-form acceleration patterns dominate. The research directly informs ongoing efforts to refine standardized criteria for ballasted track stability, particularly through the InBridge4EU project's systematic re-evaluation of vibration lim-its and their engineering implications. By quantifying discrepancies between computational approaches, this work advances the development of robust protocols for predicting track degradation under high-speed operational loads.

SHM is a method to examining and monitoring the dynamic behavior of essential constructions. Because of its versatility in detecting unfavorable structural changes and enhancing structural dependability and life cycle management, it has been extensively used in many engineering domains, especially in civil bridges. Due to the recent technical developments in sensors, high-speed internet, and cloud computing, data-driven approaches to structural health monitoring are gaining appeal. Since artificial intelligence (AI), especially in SHM, was introduced into civil engineering, these modern and promising methods have attracted significant research attention. In this work, a large dataset of acceleration time series using digital sensors was collected by installing a structural health monitoring (SHM) system on Nibelungen Bridge located in Worms, Germany. In this paper, a deep learning model is developed for accurate classification of different types of vehicle movement on the bridge from the data obtained from accelerometers. The neural network is trained with key features extracted from the acceleration dataset and classification accuracy of 98 % was achieved.
