Damage Identification of Prefabricated Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert Based on Improved Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm and Acoustic Emission Parameters

Abstract

Prefabricated box culvert is a new structure in road engineering, whose health is very important to road safety. The use of acoustic emission (AE) as a detection method and the use of other improved algorithms to evaluate the damage of prefabricated box culverts are still insufficient. In this paper, two kinds of prefabricated box culverts are tested and studied, and the damage process of the box culverts is analysed based on the AE parameters of the box culvert using the traditional fuzzy C-means method (FCM). In addition, an improved algorithm based on the combination of grid density and distance (G-DFCM) was proposed, which was simulated and applied to the AE data analysis of the prefabricated box culvert. The research results show that the application effect of the G-DFCM algorithm is good, which not only overcomes the shortcomings of the original algorithm but also improves the effectiveness of the algorithm. This work can provide a supplement to the damage identification of fabricated box culverts.

Research on Comprehensive Evaluation of Economic Management Performance Based on Improved Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm

“…where n represents the total number of samples, c represents the maximum number of clustering, m represents the weighted power index, v i represents the i-th clustering center, and u ij represents the degree to which sample j belongs to the i-th category, satisfying 􏽐 c i�1 u ij � 1 [10]. FCM algorithm is to find the fuzzy classification matrix U * and clustering center V * to minimize the objective function J(U, V).…”

Effect of Reinforcement Forms on the Load Bearing Capacity of Prefabricated Box Culvert

“…Box culvert (BC) structure, which is used in bridging over streams, drainages, sewage pipelines, highway bridges, and other projects, is an essential part of modern infrastructure [1][2][3][4]. The investigations on the application of BC have extensively conducted in scholars, which significant advances in design, construction, and materials of BC [5].…”

Identification of Enterprise Financial Risk Based on Clustering Algorithm

“…Over the past four decades, financial risk has had a serious impact on corporate operations and financial market stability. In China, the problem of corporate finance risk has become more and more remarkable as the socialist market economy is established [ 1 ]. In a business environment, the industry faces a very difficult and ongoing relationship and business environment where businesses do not have access to all the information they need to do business.…”
