Abstract

The deformation monitoring of long-span railway bridges is significant to ensure the safety of human life and property. The interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technology has the advantage of high accuracy in bridge deformation monitoring. This study monitored the deformation of the Ganjiang Super Bridge based on the small baseline subsets (SBAS) InSAR technology and Sentinel-1A data. We analyzed the deformation results combined with bridge structure, temperature, and riverbed sediment scouring. The results are as follows: (1) The Ganjiang Super Bridge area is stable overall, with deformation rates ranging from −15.6 mm/yr to 10.7 mm/yr (2) The settlement of the Ganjiang Super Bridge deck gradually increases from the bridge tower toward the main span, which conforms to the typical deformation pattern of a cable-stayed bridge. (3) The sediment scouring from the riverbed cause the serious settlement on the bridge's east side compared with that on the west side. (4) The bridge deformation negatively correlates with temperature, with a faster settlement at a higher temperature and a slow rebound trend at a lower temperature. The study findings can provide scientific data support for the health monitoring of long-span railway bridges.
