Abstract
The assessment of seismic resilience in bridge networks holds significant importance for urban disaster prevention and mitigation efforts. Unlike individual bridges, there has been limited efficiency in assessing bridge networks. A seismic resilience assessment methodology for bridge networks using ensemble learning methods is proposed in this paper. Initially, a comprehensive resilience index is proposed, integrating both structural and functional aspects of bridge networks. Using 3 ensemble learning methods, 9 parameters related to network structure and traffic characteristics are chosen as input variables for predicting the seismic resilience index. Finite element models of 18 bridges are constructed and combined to generate 3500 sets of virtual bridge networks for model training. The predictive accuracy of models trained using the 3 ensemble methods exceeds 89 %, and the expected values of peak ground acceleration (PGA) and functional loss rate are the most influential features. The methodology offers insights into the application of ensemble learning for bridge network seismic resilience assessment.
