Experimental research on daily deformation monitoring of steel box girder bridge based on BDS/GPS

In order to investigate the feasibility of BDS/GPS in the deformation monitoring of long-span bridges,analysis and research on aspects like number of visible satellites,PDOP value and monitoring precision are carried out. To analyze daily deformation characteristics of steel box girder bridge,observation data for 48 consecutive hours is computed by self-programmed software. Experiment results show that the monitoring-points on the bridge demonstrate obvious periodicity and recoverability in vertical and horizontal directions,meanwhile,changes in the elevation direction are relatively stable. The deformation-monitoring results of BDS/GPS combination system and GPS single system show good consistency. However,in a complex environment of the bridge,especially under the condition that satellite signals are severely affected,the advantages of BDS/GPS combination over GPS single system are more obvious.
