Abstract

Miter gates are vital civil infrastructure components in inland waterway transportation networks. To provide risk-informed insights for decisions related to repair and maintenance, sensors have been installed on some miter gates for monitoring. Despite the monitoring system's ability in collecting a large volume of monitoring data, accurately diagnosing damage state in such large structures remains challenging due to the lack of labeled monitoring data, since these structures are designed with high reliability and for a long operation life. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a damage diagnostics approach for miter gates based on domain adaptation. The proposed approach consists of two main modules. In the first module, Cycle-Consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) is employed to map monitoring data of a miter gate of interest and other similar yet different miter gates into the same analysis domain. Subsequently, a normalizing flow-based likelihood-free inference model is constructed within this common domain using data from source miter gates whose damage states are labeled from historical inspections. The trained normalizing flow model is then used to predict the damage state of the target miter gate based on the translated monitoring data. A case study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed method in general can accurately estimate the damage state of the target miter gate in the presence of uncertainty.
