description Given the intricate operating environment of steel truss bridges, data anomalies are frequently initiated by faults in the sensor monitoring system itself during the monitoring process. This paper utilizes a steel truss bridge as a case study in engineering, with a primary focus on the deflection of the main girder. The paper establishes an Attention Mechanism-based Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (ATT-BiLSTM) model, with the objective of accurately repairing abnormal monitoring data. Firstly, correlation heat maps and Gray correlation are employed to detect anomalies in key measurement point data. Subsequently, the ATT-BiLSTM and Support Vector Machine (SVR) models are established to repair the anomalous monitoring data. Finally, various evaluation indexes, including Pearson’s correlation coefficient, mean squared error, and coefficient of determination, are utilized to validate the repairing accuracy of the ATT-BiLSTM model. The findings indicate that the repair efficacy of ATT-BiLSTM on anomalous data surpasses that of SVR. The repaired data exhibited a tendency to decrease in amplitude at the anomalous position, while maintaining the prominence of the data at abrupt deflection change points, thereby preserving the characteristics of the data. The repair rate of anomalous data attained 93.88%, and the mean square error of the actual complete data was only 0.0226, leading to substantial enhancement in the integrity and reliability of the data.
