Abstract
    As the span increases, the difficulty of bridge construction control continuously escalates. Accurate construction control effectively ensures that bridges maintain a reasonable stress state, proper alignment, and track smoothness. This work innovatively integrates the Mean Value Theorem Expansion Response Surface method with a Neural Network Surrogate Model to precisely identify key parameters during the construction process, achieving high-accuracy predictions of construction alignment for large-span bridges. Initially, the Response Surface-Monte Carlo method is used for the sensitivity analysis of the main construction parameters. Subsequently, a parameter identification model is established to identify and correct key parameters affecting alignment and to refine the finite element model. Based on the adjusted model, sample data are collected to create an alignment prediction network model, which predicts alignment deviations for subsequent beam segments in construction, achieving high-precision reliability assessment of bridge construction alignment. The applications of case project demonstrate that the proposed methods for structural parameter identification and alignment prediction significantly enhance the precision of alignment forecasts. Characterized by the simplicity and high accuracy of the proposed method, it can offer a novel, efficient approach for alignment control under complex construction conditions.
