Abstract: Safety monitoring is an important part of bridge engineering construction and operation. At present, there is room for promoting the health monitoring and evaluation of small and medium-sized concrete bridges. In view of this, the study first models the spatial model and physical parameters of the bridge, and then builds the data of vehicle load and vehicle type. To reduce the complexity of data mapping, wavelet packet decomposition is used to analyze the data structure. And the physical field effect analysis is abandoned to directly mine the data relationship at both ends by using deep neural network. The data decomposition results show that the method can discard the temperature-induced effect. And the local decomposition results of the data meet the input of the neural network. The data measured by the sensor is added to the depth learning model for fitting. The overall and local fitting rates are more than 92%. The loss function converges quickly, and there is no gradient explosion. The model predicts the bridge structural damage caused by vehicle stress of four load categories, and the results show that the average fitting rate is 89.72%. Therefore, the identification path of the proposed deep learning model has positive significance for the evaluation of bridge structural damage. The main contribution of the study is to propose a deep learning-based method for bridge structural damage assessment. By modeling the spatial model and physical parameters of the bridge and combining data from vehicle load and vehicle type, the data structure was analyzed using the wavelet packet decomposition method to eliminate temperature-induced effects and data from sensor measurements were added to the deep learning model for fitting. This finding has positive implications for bridge structural damage assessment and can provide effective pathways and methods to monitor and evaluate the health status of small and medium-sized concrete bridges. This has important practical application value for the construction and operation of bridge engineering.
