Abstract
Bridge health monitoring system has produced a huge amount of monitored data (extreme stress data, etc.) in the long-term service periods; how to reasonably predict structural dynamic reliability with these data is one key problem in structural health monitoring (SHM) field. In this paper, considering the coupling, randomness, and time variation of SHM data, firstly, the coupled extreme stress data, which are considered as a time series, are decoupled into high-frequency and low-frequency data with the moving average method. Secondly, Bayesian dynamic linear models (BDLM) without priori monitoring error data (e.g., unknown monitored error variance) are built to dynamically predict the decoupled extreme stress; furthermore, the dynamic reliability of bridge members is predicted with the built BDLM and first-order second moment (FOSM) reliability method. Finally, an actual example is provided to illustrate the feasibility and application of the proposed models and methods. The research results of this paper will provide the theoretical foundations for structural reliability prediction.

Summary
Bridge health monitoring systems have produced a huge amount of monitored data in the long-term service periods. Erefore, considering the coupled characteristics of SHM data, how to establish the dynamic prediction models of decoupled load effects with the SHM coupled load effects and dynamically predict bridge reliability should be further studied. The dynamic reliability analysis of the bridge member is carried out through combining SHM data with the reliability method (Sections 4 and 5). With the widely used single moving average method, the low-frequency information in the coupled monitoring data is extracted, and the approximate high-frequency information is obtained through using the coupling information minus the low-frequency information. E single moving average method can eliminate certain interference factors of the SHM data and predict the value of the cycle, and the prediction formula is y(t+1) F(t 1)
