Description

Technical Field

[0002] Arch bridges are widely used in the design and construction of long-span bridges due to their unique stress-bearing characteristics and excellent load-bearing performance. The proper design of the arch axis is crucial to the stress state, structural stability, and material utilization of arch bridges, and has long been a hot topic and a difficult topic in arch bridge design research.

[0003] Currently, methods for calculating the ideal arch axis of arch bridges are primarily divided into analytical equations and curve fitting. The analytical equation method solves for the ideal arch axis by establishing the arch bridge's load equations and analyzing its mechanical behavior under dead and live loads. Its core approach is to determine the shape of the main arch axis by studying the changes in the dead load pressure line. Commonly used methods include the minimum bending moment method and the limit analysis method. However, this method presents numerous challenges in the design of long-span arch bridges, including computational complexity, excessive local bending moments, and incompatibility with dynamic loads.

[0004] The curve fitting method selects an appropriate curve type (such as a catenary, parabola, or spline) and fits control points to obtain a reasonable arch axis. The calculation process is relatively simple and efficient. However, this method also has problems such as insufficient fitting accuracy, unscientific control point selection, and failure to consider dynamic load changes.

[0005] While existing technologies have achieved some success, significant shortcomings remain in the design of long-span arch bridges, particularly in handling complex loads and optimizing design accuracy. Existing methods suffer from insufficient accuracy, low computational efficiency, and a lack of dynamic adaptability when addressing arch axis problems under complex loads.

[0088] 1. To address the inaccuracies of existing analytical equation and curve fitting methods under complex loads, this present invention utilizes a hybrid calculation algorithm (combining analytical equation and curve fitting) with an adaptive load distribution model to simultaneously optimize the arch axis shape and load distribution during the design process. This allows for more precise and comprehensive optimization when considering both static and dynamic loads (such as traffic loads, temperature fluctuations, and seismic loads). This is particularly effective in the design of long-span arch bridges, effectively reducing local bending moments and eccentricity, ensuring design accuracy.

[0089] 2. To address the lack of dynamic load adaptability in existing technologies, this invention utilizes an adaptive load distribution model that can dynamically simulate and adjust the distribution and variations of a variety of complex loads, such as traffic loads, temperature fluctuations, wind loads, and seismic loads, ensuring that the arch bridge design can effectively adapt to diverse loading conditions. Furthermore, based on real-time monitoring data (such as sensor monitoring and field data feedback), this invention enables continuous design adjustments during actual construction and operation to optimize load response. This innovation, lacking in traditional design methods, makes arch bridge design more adaptable and flexible.

[0090] 3. To address the low computational efficiency and tendency to fall into local optimal solutions in existing optimization methods, this paper introduces intelligent optimization algorithms (such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization algorithms). By combining global search with local optimization, this method enables faster and more accurate search for optimal solutions. These intelligent optimization algorithms not only handle multiple objective functions (such as minimizing bending moment, minimizing eccentricity, and optimizing materials), but also avoid falling into local optimal solutions, significantly improving design efficiency and accuracy. In practical engineering applications, the introduction of these optimization algorithms reduces manual adjustments and computational errors, thereby increasing the degree of design automation and reliability.

Addressing the difficulties faced by existing technologies in addressing the complex load and structural optimization challenges of long-span arch bridges, the present invention's hybrid calculation method (combining analytical and curve-fitting methods) and intelligent optimization algorithm effectively address the design requirements of long-span bridges. By taking into account the unique load distribution of long-span bridges (such as the time-varying nature of traffic loads and temperature loads), the invention dynamically adjusts the arch axis shape to optimize structural stability, minimize material waste, and maximize the structure's load-bearing capacity and durability. This feature makes the invention particularly suitable for long-span arch bridges and complex engineering environments.

[0092] 5. Addressing the low material utilization and poor cost-effectiveness of existing technologies, this present invention, by introducing an intelligent optimization algorithm and a dynamic load distribution model, maximizes material utilization while ensuring the safety and stability of the arch bridge structure. During the design process, material selection and structural layout can be optimized based on load response and actual operating conditions, thereby reducing construction costs and eliminating unnecessary resource waste. This innovation gives this method significant advantages in terms of cost savings and improved efficiency.

[0093] 6. To address the lack of dynamic adaptability during the construction phase in existing technologies, this invention integrates a real-time monitoring and feedback mechanism that dynamically adjusts the design based on sensor data during construction. This adaptive optimization during the construction phase ensures the stability and safety of the arch bridge during construction, while also improving the efficiency of the collaborative design and construction process.

Addressing the problem of existing technologies failing to fully integrate the strengths of multiple disciplines, this invention integrates innovative technologies from multiple disciplines, including structural mechanics, computer science, intelligent optimization, and materials science, providing a novel solution for the design of long-span arch bridges. This interdisciplinary integration has driven technological advancements in bridge design, particularly in large-scale infrastructure construction, effectively improving design efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring the long-term safety of bridges. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0095] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the method for designing a reasonable arch axis of a large-span arch bridge based on a hybrid algorithm and dynamic loads according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0096] The present invention will be further explained and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that this specific embodiment is not intended to limit the scope of rights of the present invention.

[0097] like Figure 1 As shown, this specific embodiment provides a method for designing a reasonable arch axis of a long-span arch bridge based on a hybrid algorithm and dynamic loads, comprising the following steps:

[0098] Step 1. In the first round of iterative optimization, select the initial arch axis type and use the curve fitting method for preliminary design: according to the span and load type of the bridge, select any one of the catenary, parabola or spline curves as the initial arch axis type. The catenary is suitable for situations where the structural load is mainly a constant load and has a small bending moment; therefore, for constant loads, select the catenary; the parabola is suitable for situations where the constant load and live load are relatively evenly distributed, and the calculation is simple; therefore, for uniform loads, select the parabola; the spline curve is suitable for complex load distributions and can accurately match the pressure line through fitting. Therefore, for irregular loads or complex situations, select the spline curve. And determine the preliminary position of the control point, the preliminary position of the control point includes the arch crown, arch foot and several intermediate segment points to generate a preliminary arch axis design scheme. The details are as follows:

[0099] 1. Selection of initial arch axis type

[0100] According to the load characteristics of the arch bridge, the initial axis adopts one of the following three typical curves:

[0101] Catenary: Applicable to structures with mainly dead loads;

[0102] Parabola: Suitable for structures with uniform distribution of dead and live loads;

[0103] Spline curve: suitable for irregular or complex load conditions, and can flexibly fit any pressure line.

[0104] 2. Determination of the preliminary position of the control point

[0105] Assume the bridge span is , the arch height is , select the control point in:

[0106] : horizontal coordinates of the control point, control points;

[0107] : vertical coordinates of the control point, elevation;

[0108] : The total number of control points, including the arch foot, arch top and several intermediate points.

[0109] (1) Uniform step method

[0110] On the horizontal axis, span Divide into part:

[0112] (2) Determine the vertical coordinate by fitting function

[0119] 3) Cubic Spline:

[0120] Use cubic spline interpolation fitting between control points:

[0121] ,

[0122] Each interval satisfies the first-order and second-order continuity of function values ​​and derivatives at adjacent control points.

[0124] Control point coordinates , ;

[0125] Preliminary arch axis curve function , or the set of spline function coefficients;

[0126] Initial estimation of structural parameters, such as horizontal thrust , arch bending moment

[0127] Graphic display: schematic diagram of arch axis shape and control point layout.

[0128] Step 2, optimization using analytical equation method: Based on the preliminary arch axis design scheme generated in step (1), the dead load action mode of the arch bridge is calculated using analytical equation method, including the stress analysis, bending moment calculation and horizontal thrust calculation of the main arch. The control point position and arch axis shape are adjusted according to the calculation results to generate an optimized arch axis design scheme. This can reduce the bending moment under the preliminary axis and improve rationality.

[0129] By calculating the bending moment and horizontal thrust under the action of constant load, the rationality of the arch axis is judged, and the position of the control point is adjusted accordingly to make the structure bear better stress.

[0130] (1) Force analysis of the main arch: For the main arch of an arch bridge, assuming that it is primarily subjected to compression and ignoring other influencing factors (such as shear), the shape of the arch axis can be expressed using the following force analysis formula. This force analysis formula is based on the force theory of simply supported beams of equal span and describes the relationship between bending moment and horizontal thrust. By solving this equation, a preliminary estimate of the arch axis shape can be obtained.

[0131] The stress analysis formula of the main arch is as follows:

[0132] ,

[0133] Where, Indicates location Bending moment at represents the horizontal thrust of the main arch; Indicates the span of the arch bridge; Indicates the horizontal distance from the arch to a certain point. For the vault, For the arch foot.

[0134] (2) Bending moment calculation formula: Under constant load, the bending moment calculation formula is often used to describe the bending moment distribution of arch bridges under uniformly distributed load:

[0135] ,

[0136] Where, Indicates location Bending moment at is the uniformly distributed load (load per unit length); Indicates the span of the arch bridge; Indicates the horizontal distance from the arch to a certain point. For the vault, For the arch foot.

[0137] This formula is used to calculate the bending moment values ​​at different locations in order to adjust the arch axis shape.

[0138] (3) Calculation formula for horizontal thrust (simply supported state):

[0139] The calculation formula of horizontal thrust is approximately estimated under constant load as follows:

[0140] ,

[0141] in: The horizontal thrust of the main arch; is the uniformly distributed load (load per unit length); Indicates the span of the arch bridge.

[0142] This formula calculates the horizontal thrust of an arch bridge under a uniformly distributed load and is often used in analysis of simply supported conditions.

[0143] The control point adjustment strategy and calculation method are as follows:

[0144] (1) Minimize the objective function (sum of squared moments):

[0145] ,

[0146] Where: is the objective function value, which represents the sum of the squares of the bending moments at all points on the bridge under the current control point arrangement (i.e., the total bending moment energy); is a set of control points, expressed as , is the design parameter set of the arch axis; Indicates the number of control points (excluding fixed boundary points), that is, the number of points involved in optimization; Indicates the The horizontal coordinates of the control points; Indicates the The longitudinal coordinate of each control point (axis height) is the optimization variable; Indicates the arch is in position The bending moment value at is obtained from static analysis; It represents the horizontal thrust of the main arch and is an internal force parameter approximately estimated by dead load analysis or analytical formula.

[0147] (2) Gradient descent adjustment method:

[0148] The control point adjustment amount is:

[0149] ,

[0150] Where: Indicates the The adjustment amount of the longitudinal coordinate of each control point (i.e. the step size of each iterative update); is the learning rate or adjustment coefficient, which is a positive number that controls the adjustment step size (the empirical value is recommended to be 0.01 to 0.1); is the objective function, i.e. the sum of square moments: : is the objective function For the control point ordinate The partial derivative of represents the "optimization direction" of the point in the current state; represents the horizontal thrust of the arch bridge under static load (determined by the structural geometry and load, and can be approximated as a constant); Represents control points The current vertical coordinate is the optimization variable.

[0151] Update the control point ordinates as follows:

[0152] ,

[0153] Where: Indicates the The control point is The vertical coordinate after iteration indicates the updated value; Indicates the The control point is The vertical coordinate at the iteration is the value in the current state; Indicates the The adjustment amount of the longitudinal coordinate of each control point, that is, the step size, represents the amount by which the control point changes along the gradient direction.

[0154] Note: The arch foot control points (two ends) are usually fixed, and only the middle point is adjusted.

[0155] Output content of the adjusted arch axis design plan:

[0156] New control point set ;

[0157] Refitted arch axis function ;

[0158] Adjusted horizontal thrust and bending moment distribution ;

[0159] Graphical output comparing original / optimized arch axis, original / optimized bending moment diagram

[0160] Quantitative comparison of indicators: maximum bending moment drop, control point offset, etc.

[0161] Step 3: Introduce a dynamic load distribution model for adaptive adjustment: In practical applications, the load of an arch bridge is not a static load. Especially in the design of a large-span arch bridge, dynamic factors such as traffic load, temperature change, wind load, and earthquake load have a very important impact on the arch bridge structure. Therefore, a dynamic load distribution model is introduced to make adaptive adjustments based on the arch axis design scheme optimized in step (2) combined with dynamic load factors to ensure that the preliminary arch axis design scheme can adapt to different load changes and optimize the design results. Dynamic load factors include traffic load, temperature change load, and earthquake load.

[0162] Adaptively adjusting the arch axis design scheme in combination with dynamic load factors includes the following steps:

[0163] Step 31: Establish a dynamic load distribution model. The construction of the dynamic load distribution model is based on the load changes of the arch bridge in the actual environment, taking into account traffic loads, temperature change loads, and earthquake loads and their effects on the arch axis:

[0164] First, traffic loads are the primary time-varying load type faced by arch bridge structures during operation. They are characterized by diverse vehicle types, uneven traffic flow, and spatial and temporal randomness. Therefore, traffic loads not only account for changes in vehicle weight distribution and position, but also for changes in traffic flow. To construct a more realistic traffic load model, this embodiment combines changes in traffic flow and vehicle load obtained through traffic data acquisition to establish a dynamic traffic load spatiotemporal distribution model to simulate the impact of dynamic traffic loads on the arch axis.

[0165] The method for obtaining the traffic load data is as follows:

[0166] (1) Historical traffic data statistics

[0167] Source: Historical traffic records provided by traffic management departments and road administration agencies.

[0168] Content: Average traffic volume, typical vehicle ratio, and axle load distribution by hour / day / season.

[0169] Application: Used to construct long-term load spectra and identify statistical laws of traffic loads.

[0170] (2) Real-time traffic monitoring system

[0171] Technical means include:

[0172] Ground sensor coil (installed on the bridge deck to detect vehicle passing and speed);

[0173] Video recognition (camera combined with AI to identify vehicle models and lanes);

[0174] Dynamic axle load detection system (Weigh-in-Motion, WIM);

[0175] Data item: Vehicle passing time , vehicle type classification ,speed , axle weight ,Location .

[0176] (3) Traffic simulation data (supplementary)

[0177] Use simulation tools such as VISSIM to generate traffic load samples under future scenarios;

[0178] It is especially used for simulating extreme working conditions (such as holiday traffic and areas with frequent overloading).

[0179] 2. Mathematical Representation and Modeling Method of Traffic Load Model

[0180] (1) Expression of basic traffic load model

[0181] Set up arch bridge at time The traffic load on is:

[0182] ,

[0183] Where: Indicates time Location Total traffic load at (unit: kN / m); Indicates time Total number of vehicles on the bridge; Indicates the Car at time Equivalent concentrated load (unit: kN); Indicates the The current position of the vehicle on the bridge (unit: m); Represents the unit impulse function, which indicates the vehicle load acting at the current position.

[0184] Note: This basic traffic load model considers vehicles as concentrated forces and is suitable for static analysis or simplified dynamic analysis.

[0185] Assume that there is The position of each vehicle changes with time. The formula of the traffic load model is as follows:

[0186] ,

[0187] in, For location Dynamic load at, over time change; For the Vehicle load; is a unit pulse function, indicating that the vehicle is at position of load action.

[0188] This formula takes into account the time-varying nature of vehicles and realizes the synthesis of multiple vehicle loads through summation.

[0189] 3. Stochastic Modeling of Vehicle Loads

[0201] It means that the distance between adjacent vehicles follows an exponential distribution, reflecting the fluid traffic flow (Poisson flow assumption).

[0202] 2) Inter-arrival time:

[0203]

[0204] represents the time interval for vehicles to enter the bridge, which is also a Poisson process.

[0205] 5. Traffic Load Expectation Model (Continuous Simplified Form)

[0206] For use in finite element or analytical calculations, the discretized model can be converted to the desired continuous load intensity:

[0207] ,

[0208] Where: Indicates the average traffic load intensity in time and space (unit: kN / m); Indicates the The probability of the occurrence of the vehicle type; Indicates the Vehicles at time Linear density (vehicles / m), from statistics / monitoring; Indicates the The average concentrated load on a vehicle of this type (unit: kN).

[0209] The traffic load model constructed in this embodiment can adopt the following three combinations according to actual needs:

[0210] Model type: Concentrated force-pulse model. Features: Accurately simulates parking spaces and is suitable for small bridges / special vehicles crossing bridges. Application scenarios: Local impact analysis and extreme load event simulation.

[0212] Model type: Continuous equivalent load model, Features: Simplified calculation, suitable for macroscopic force analysis, Application scenario: Iterative analysis in arch axis optimization.

[0213] This model can also be input into the finite element analysis system together with the temperature change model and earthquake load model to construct a complete dynamic load response system.

[0214] Fourth, temperature changes can cause thermal expansion or contraction of bridge materials. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the thermal expansion effect of temperature changes on bridge materials and establish a temperature change load model to evaluate the impact of temperature changes on the arch axis.

[0215] The steps for establishing the temperature change load model are as follows:

[0216] 1. Internal forces caused by uniform temperature changes

[0217] Uniform temperature change Under this condition, if the structural deformation is constrained (such as fixed at both ends), axial stress will be generated: The calculation formula of the temperature change load model is as follows:

[0219] Where: represents temperature stress (unit: MPa); Indicates the elastic modulus of the material (unit: MPa); Indicates the linear expansion coefficient of the material (unit: 1 / °C); Indicates the uniform temperature change to which the structure is subjected (unit: °C).

[0220] The thermal stress of the arch bridge structure under different temperature conditions can be simulated through the formula of the temperature change load model.

[0221] 2. Thermal expansion effect of different materials

[0222] In composite structures, such as steel arches and concrete decks, the expansion characteristics of steel and concrete differ:

[0223] Steel:

[0224] Concrete:

[0225] The difference in elongation caused by the temperature rise between the two will form additional interface stress, which should be coordinated through shear connectors. In actual modeling, equivalent thermal load can be set:

[0226] ,

[0227] Where: It represents the additional stress at the interface between steel and concrete due to the inconsistent thermal expansion of the materials. It represents the elastic modulus of concrete (unit: MPa), reflecting the concrete's ability to restrain deformation; The linear expansion coefficient of steel (unit: 1 / °C), which indicates the linear expansion capacity of steel under temperature changes; The linear expansion coefficient of concrete (unit: 1 / °C) indicates the linear expansion capacity of concrete under temperature changes; It represents the temperature change (unit: °C), which is the range of temperature increase or decrease to which the structure is subjected.

[0228] 3. Additional bending moment and deformation caused by temperature gradient

[0229] When there is a temperature gradient along the height direction of the structural section, the thermal expansion of different parts of the section is different, which will cause the temperature gradient bending effect, which manifests as additional bending moment or bending deformation.

[0230] (1) Simplified linear gradient model

[0231] Assume that the temperature gradient is distributed linearly along the height direction:

[0232] ,

[0233] Where: It represents the vertical coordinate relative to the neutral point of the cross section; Indicates the neutral axis temperature; It represents the temperature gradient per unit length (°C / m).

[0234] (2) Additional bending moment caused by temperature gradient

[0235] ,

[0237] 4. Finite element temperature field input

[0238] In numerical calculations, temperature loads can be input into the structural finite element model as "volume temperature field" or "thermal stress load":

[0239] Input method 1: Node temperature function (directly specify node temperature)

[0240] Input method 2: Equivalent thermal load (prestress introduced by thermal expansion)

[0241] It is recommended to combine the body sensor data to perform time-varying temperature field fitting, such as:

[0242] ,

[0243] Where, Indicates the Nodes at time temperature; Represents the structure at time average temperature; represents the temperature gradient at that moment; Indicates the The vertical coordinate of a node relative to the neutral axis.

[0244] 5. Engineering application selection

[0245] If the annual temperature changes (slowly), the recommended model or data source is: Use weather station data to build Model;

[0246] If the daily temperature difference / short-term shock temperature change is involved, the recommended model or data source is to use the data from the on-site temperature monitoring system (5-10 minute sampling) for fitting.

[0247] If the temperature gradient / uneven heating is present, the recommended model or data source is: field distribution data combined with cross-sectional heat flow simulation. .

[0248] If the structural materials have different thermal expansion matching, the recommended model or data source is: set the material properties in layers in the model and handle the joint interface (consider the shear stress and tensile stress transfer mechanism).

[0249] If the design condition is one of extreme high temperature response, the recommended model or data source is: simulate a typical extreme day (such as high sun exposure at noon in summer and cooling at night) and superimpose static loads to analyze the arch axis stability.

[0250] Fifth, to comprehensively assess the structural stability and arch axis rationality of long-span arch bridges under earthquakes, this embodiment also introduces a seismic load model to simulate the dynamic response of the structure to earthquakes and closely integrates this response index with the arch axis optimization process. In arch bridge design, seismic loads are calculated by simulating the acceleration of earthquakes. Therefore, based on the acceleration changes of seismic waves, a seismic load model is established to analyze the impact of seismic forces on the arch axis.

[0251] Assuming that the earthquake acceleration changes with time, the calculation formula of the earthquake load model is as follows:

[0252] ,

[0253] Where, is the mass of the arch bridge structure; is the function of earthquake acceleration changing with time;

[0254] The calculation formula of the earthquake load model simulates the influence of earthquake waves and calculates the load response of the structure under the action of earthquake.

[0255] 1. The basis for establishing the earthquake load model:

[0256] (1) National standard basis: The earthquake load model complies with technical standards such as the "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" and the "Detailed Rules for Seismic Design of Highway Bridges", and adopts the earthquake response spectrum and earthquake fortification parameters recommended by the standards.

[0257] (2) Selection of design earthquake parameters: Determine the design baseline seismic parameters based on the seismic fortification intensity of the area where the bridge is located, including: peak seismic acceleration (Unit: m / s²); earthquake duration; response spectrum characteristic period, etc.

[0258] (3) Seismic wave types

[0259] Actual recorded waves: We select the measured records of typical historical earthquakes, such as the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes, which are representative;

[0260] Artificial synthetic wave: Generates the wave through spectrum matching method according to the standard design spectrum to ensure that the input wave meets the regional defense requirements;

[0261] Earthquake Response Spectrum: Used in response spectrum method to simplify the assessment of the maximum response of the structure.

[0262] 2. The steps for establishing the earthquake load model are as follows:

[0263] (1) Input form

[0264] Ground motion as a function of ground acceleration time history Input structure system in the form of

[0265] The input directions include the bridge axis direction (longitudinal) and the direction perpendicular to the bridge axis (transverse), which can be considered separately according to different analysis objectives.

[0266] (2) Impact of site conditions on seismic motion

[0267] According to the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings, sites are classified into categories I, II, III, and IV;

[0268] Site type has a significant amplification effect on seismic motion. Arch bridges are often located in valleys or on soft soil foundations and are often classified as Class II or III.

[0269] The seismic amplification effect is determined by the modified response spectrum method or the seismic wave amplification factor. To implement the correction, the formula is as follows:

[0270] ,

[0271] Where: represents the response spectrum after considering the site effect; represents the response spectrum under bedrock conditions; represents the amplification factor, which depends on the period and soil type.

[0272] 3. Coupling analysis method of earthquake load and dynamic response of arch bridge structure

[0273] In order to effectively incorporate seismic loads into the optimization design process of the arch axis, the present invention precisely couples seismic excitation with the structural dynamic response process. The specific steps are as follows:

[0274] (1) Establishment of finite element dynamic model of arch bridge

[0275] The structural model includes key components such as arch ribs, bridge deck, hangers, and supports;

[0276] Material properties define the mass matrix , damping matrix , stiffness matrix ;

[0277] The degree of freedom selection includes horizontal constraints of the arch foot, vertical response of the arch crown, lateral vibration of key nodes of the main span, etc.

[0278] (2) Seismic response control equations (MDOF system)

[0279] ,

[0280] Where: represents the mass matrix; C represents the damping matrix; K represents the stiffness matrix; represents the acceleration response vector; represents the speed response vector; Represents the structural node displacement response vector; represents the unit vector of the earthquake excitation direction; Represents the earthquake acceleration time history.

[0281] The Newmark-β method or the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor method (HHT method) is used for numerical integration to obtain the full time history response of the structure.

[0282] 3. Dynamic response result extraction and index definition

[0283] The following key parameters are extracted from the solution results as feedback indicators for arch axis shape optimization:

[0284] index: , meaning and function: The maximum bending moment at any point in the arch bridge under earthquake action, reflecting the most unfavorable internal force position of the structure.

[0285] index: , meaning and function: The maximum displacement of the arch node reflects the stability of the arch axis after an earthquake.

[0287] index: , meaning and function: The fluctuation range of the axial force of the main arch under the action of earthquake. Excessive fluctuation may cause structural thrust instability.

[0288] 4. Combination mechanism of dynamic response results and arch axis optimization

[0289] The core technological innovation of this embodiment lies in using the feedback of earthquake response results for the optimized design of the control points of the arch axis shape, and using intelligent optimization algorithms (such as genetic algorithms and particle swarm algorithms) to dynamically and iteratively adjust the positions of the arch axis control points to achieve an earthquake-resistant and reasonable structural form.

[0290] (1) Optimization objective function design (with response minimization as the goal)

[0291] ,

[0292] Where: represents the optimization objective function value, which represents the comprehensive performance index of the arch axis scheme under static and seismic conditions. The overall goal is to minimize this value; , , , Represents the weight factor, which indicates the relative importance of each objective component in the overall optimization, satisfying ≥0, can be set manually or adjusted adaptively; It represents the maximum bending moment generated in the structure under static load conditions, reflecting the peak internal force of the structure under constant load; It represents the maximum bending moment generated in the structure under earthquake conditions, reflecting the most unfavorable response of the structure to earthquake loads; It represents the maximum displacement of the arch node during the entire earthquake process, and measures the stability and deflection control of the arch axis under vibration; It represents the eccentricity, which refers to the maximum distance between the actual arch axis and the constant load pressure line, indicating the rationality of the axis shape.

[0293] The smaller the objective function is, the more reasonable the arch axis is and the better the seismic response is.

[0294] (2) Optimize constraints (to ensure structural safety as the bottom line):

[0295] ,

[0296] (3) Optimization process iterative logic:

[0297] 1) Input the initial arch axis and control points;

[0298] 2) Calculation of earthquake dynamic response ( , wait);

[0299] 3) Evaluate fitness and adjust control point positions;

[0300] 4) Iterate until the objective function converges or the constraints are satisfied.

[0301] 5. Engineering application selection

[0302] It is recommended to use at least three seismic waves (including measured and synthetic) for each arch bridge;

[0303] The site amplification effect should be selected and corrected in combination with the geological survey report;

[0304] If it is an important bridge, a multi-load combination analysis (such as dead load + temperature difference + earthquake) should be conducted;

[0305] The method of this embodiment is applicable to the active seismic design stage and the seismic reinforcement scheme comparison and selection stage.

[0306] Step 32, load response analysis: The introduction of dynamic loads will directly affect the stress state of the arch axis, especially in areas where large bending moments may occur under load. To ensure the reliability of the design results, based on the dynamic load distribution model constructed in step 31, finite element analysis is used to analyze the effects of traffic loads, temperature loads, and seismic loads on the arch bridge, and the deformation and stress distribution of the bridge under dynamic loads are calculated; in order to obtain the stress and deformation state under load, the formula for calculating the deformation and stress distribution of the bridge under dynamic loads is as follows:

[0307] ,

[0308] in, is the stiffness matrix of the arch bridge structure; is the displacement vector of the arch bridge; External loads include traffic loads, temperature loads, and earthquake loads;

[0309] By solving this set of linear equations, the deformation and stress state of the arch bridge under load can be obtained.

[0310] Step 33, real-time adjustment of the arch axis: Based on the load response analysis results of step 32, especially in the load concentration area, the arch axis shape is adjusted through an intelligent optimization algorithm; in order to minimize the local bending moment, the arch axis is adjusted using an intelligent optimization algorithm to ensure that the bending moment at each position is as close to the minimum as possible, thereby reducing the local bending moment.

[0311] The formula for adjusting the arch axis shape by the intelligent optimization algorithm is as follows:

[0312] ,

[0313] in, For the Bending moment at the location; is the minimum bending moment target value after optimization;

[0314] Step 34, Dynamic Feedback Mechanism: Using real-time sensor data and monitoring systems, the bridge's stress and deformation status is monitored in real time, automatically adjusting design parameters based on this dynamic data. If the local bending moment of an arch bridge exceeds a predetermined allowable value, the system automatically adjusts the arch axis shape or material parameters through this feedback mechanism to ensure the safety and durability of the bridge throughout its lifecycle.

[0315] The formula for automatically adjusting the design parameters according to dynamic data is as follows:

[0316] ,

[0317] in, The increment for adjusting the arch axis; is the design maximum bending moment; is the currently measured bending moment; is the adjustment factor.

[0318] Step 4: Apply the intelligent optimization algorithm to optimize the design: Based on the arch axis adjusted in step (3), the intelligent optimization algorithm is used to perform multiple rounds of iterative optimization to obtain the optimal design scheme for the arch axis to ensure that the design results meet the requirements of the actual working conditions. The optimization objectives include minimizing the bending moment, minimizing the eccentricity, and optimizing the load distribution.

[0319] (1) Selection of intelligent optimization algorithm

[0320] This intelligent optimization algorithm is a hybrid optimization strategy that combines a genetic algorithm (GA) and a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO). The GA simulates natural selection and genetic mechanisms to find the optimal design solution. Its core operations include selection, crossover, mutation, and fitness evaluation. The GA effectively avoids local optima and seeks the global optimal solution. The particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) searches for the optimal design solution by simulating the foraging behavior of a flock of birds. PSO has strong global search capabilities when exploring space, effectively reducing design errors.

[0321] (2) Optimization objectives and constraints

[0322] During the optimization process, the optimization objectives and constraints are as follows:

[0323] Minimize bending moments in arch bridges: Ensure that the arch axis is designed to effectively reduce bending moments, especially at the load application points.

[0324] ,

[0325] in, For the Bending moment at the location.

[0326] Minimize eccentricity: The optimized design minimizes the deviation between the arch axis and the load pressure line.

[0327] ,

[0328] in, For the The eccentricity of the position, is the optimal eccentricity.

[0329] Ensure structural safety and stability: Through optimization, the arch bridge structure is guaranteed not to be damaged and the structural safety requirements are met.

[0330] (3) Iterative optimization process

[0331] The optimization steps of genetic algorithm and particle swarm algorithm are used to perform multiple rounds of iterations, update the design parameters, and evaluate the results of each iteration; at the end of each round of iteration, the fitness function of the design results is evaluated to ensure that each round moves towards the optimal design direction.

[0332] The specific steps of performing multiple rounds of iterative optimization on the arch axis using the intelligent optimization algorithm include:

[0333] Step 41: A genetic algorithm is used for global optimization, searching for a global optimal solution by simulating natural selection, crossover, and mutation operations. Therefore, this embodiment first uses the genetic algorithm optimization step to perform a global search of the arch axis to obtain multiple solutions.

[0334] The genetic algorithm optimization step comprises:

[0335] Step 411, population initialization: Generate a set of initial populations, each individual represents an arch axis design scheme, and the gene of each individual contains design variables such as the control point, bending moment, thrust, etc. of the arch axis; these design variables are usually represented by real number coding.

[0336] The calculation formula of the fitness value of each individual in step 412 is as follows:

[0337] ,

[0338] Where, For the Maximum bending moment of each individual; For the The eccentric moment of each individual; and is the weight factor used to balance the contribution of bending moment and eccentricity to fitness;

[0339] Step 412, fitness evaluation: Calculate the fitness value of each individual. The fitness function comprehensively considers the maximum bending moment of the arch bridge and the eccentricity of the arch axis. The definition of the fitness function can be combined with the following objectives:

[0340] ,

[0341] in, For the Maximum bending moment of each individual; For the The eccentric moment of each individual; and is a weighting factor used to balance the contribution of bending moment and eccentricity to fitness.

[0342] In this embodiment, a fitness function is used to evaluate the structural performance of each set of arch axis control points. Its goal is to optimize the structure by integrating multiple design indicators (such as maximum bending moment, eccentricity, and deformation). The fitness function is defined as follows:

[0343] ,

[0344] Where: Indicates the maximum bending moment of the optimized solution under dead load or combined load (unit: kN·m); Indicates the eccentricity (the maximum deviation between the arch axis and the pressure line, unit: m); represents the maximum displacement of the arch (indicating the stability of the arch, unit: m); 、 、 It represents the weight factor of each performance indicator, reflecting its relative importance in fitness evaluation.

[0345] 1. Value range of weight factor

[0347] The default setting range in the present invention is as follows (adjustable):

[0348] index: Bending moment, recommended weight range: 0.3 ~ 0.6, Note: Controls the structural strength index and should be one of the main evaluation factors.

[0349] index: Eccentricity, recommended weight range: 0.2 ~ 0.5, Description: Control the rationality of the axis to prevent the arch from deviating from the pressure line and affecting the bending moment.

[0350] index: Displacement, recommended weight range: 0.1 ~ 0.3, Description: Controls the overall stability of the bridge, especially under earthquake conditions.

[0351] 2. Method for determining weight factors

[0352] This embodiment uses a multi-source basis method to comprehensively determine the weight of each indicator to ensure its engineering rationality and algorithm effectiveness. The details are as follows:

[0353] (1) Empirical Weighting

[0354] The initial weights are set based on the degree of attention paid to bending moment, axis stability, and eccentric response in bridge engineering practice;

[0355] For arch bridges with larger spans and heavier loads, the moment weight Should be slightly higher (e.g. set to 0.5);

[0356] For special-shaped or high-arch ratio structures, the eccentricity weight It should be raised appropriately to ensure a reasonable shape.

[0357] (2) Normalized response sensitivity analysis method

[0358] Through finite element analysis, each performance index is normalized and its sensitivity coefficient is obtained;

[0359] If the eccentricity has a significant effect on the bending moment change, then increase ;

[0360] If the displacement of the arch varies greatly under earthquake conditions, the .

[0361] Normalization example:

[0362] , ,

[0363] Where, Indicates the maximum bending moment generated in the structure under the current design scheme; represents the normalized maximum bending moment value, which is used to compare the relative sizes of different designs; Indicates the maximum bending moment under the benchmark solution (such as the initial design or engineering allowable value) for comparison; Indicates the normalized eccentricity, which represents the ratio of the current eccentricity to the maximum allowable value; Indicates the eccentricity in the current design (unit: m), that is, the offset between the arch axis and the dead load pressure line; Indicates the upper limit of eccentricity allowed or recommended by engineering experience.

[0364] Quantitative adjustment of relative weights is performed based on sensitivity comparison.

[0365] (3) Experimental or simulation verification method (Simulation-guided Weighting)

[0366] According to the target bridge type, multiple initial control point combination simulations are performed;

[0367] Observe the impact of different indicators on the arch axis optimization results (such as bending moment reduction rate vs. eccentricity increase);

[0368] Set the weight combination that meets engineering performance and optimizes convergence efficiency;

[0369] After optimization, the weights are adjusted in reverse order according to performance ranking.

[0370] (4) Dynamic Weighting Mechanism (Optional Extension of the Present Invention)

[0371] In the early stages of algorithm iteration, emphasis is placed on eccentricity and morphological rationality ( high);

[0372] In the late convergence stage, it emphasizes minimization of internal forces and stability (improving , );

[0373] You can use:

[0374] ,

[0375] ,

[0376] Where, Indicates the current iteration The weight of the first optimization objective in the round; Indicates the weight value of the first target at the initial iteration; Indicates the change (increase value) of the first target weight during the entire optimization process; Indicates the current iteration number (from 0 to the maximum number of generations); Indicates the current iteration The weight of the second optimization objective in the round; Indicates the weight value of the second target at the initial iteration; Indicates the change (increase value) of the second objective weight during the entire optimization process; Indicates the maximum number of iterations.

[0377] 3. Weight balance between bending moment and eccentricity

[0378] Bending moment and eccentricity are the two core objectives in arch axis optimization. Their balance determines the rationality of the design's force and the aesthetics of its form:

[0379] Comparison items: Result characteristics, overemphasis on bending moment (high ): The arch approaches the theoretical pressure line, but the eccentricity is poorly controlled and the eccentricity is overemphasized (high ): The arch shape is beautiful but may cause large local bending moments.

[0380] Comparison project: Engineering risk, over-emphasis on bending moment (high ): The arch axis is out of balance, the construction accuracy is high, and the eccentricity is overemphasized (high ): The cross-section of the component needs to be increased, as stress concentration is prone to exceeding the limit.

[0381] Comparison project: Balanced strategy, overemphasis on bending moment (high ): Overemphasis on eccentricity (high ): Re-evaluate the fitness composition in combination with the structural shape function and constructibility.

[0382] Therefore, this embodiment adopts the weighted harmonization method to ensure that the arch axis is as close to the constant load pressure line (small eccentricity) as possible while meeting the structural strength (small bending moment), thereby achieving dual rationality of structural mechanics and geometric form.

[0383] 4. Recommended combinations of typical parameters

[0384] Working condition combination: normal constant load + temperature difference control, : 0.5, : 0.4, : 0.1, Application scenario description: Eccentricity control is important and is suitable for arch bridges with high arch ratio or medium span.

[0385] Working condition combination: strong earthquake control-dominated design, : 0.3, : 0.3, : 0.4, Application scenario description: Arch displacement and dynamic response need to be controlled first, suitable for areas with high fortification intensity.

[0386] Working condition combination: general engineering with medium emphasis on structural rationality, : 0.4, : 0.4, : 0.2, Application scenario description: Suitable for most general design requirements.

[0387] This embodiment scientifically sets the fitness function weights through a combination of multi-source data drive + engineering experience guidance + response analysis feedback, provides dynamic adjustment and problem-adaptive strategies, improves the performance of the optimization algorithm, and supports the multi-objective coordination and design robustness of the arch axis design process under multiple load conditions such as static load, temperature difference, and earthquake.

[0388] Step 413, selection operation: select parent individuals according to fitness values, using roulette wheel selection or tournament selection methods, and individuals with higher fitness are selected as parent individuals to prepare for crossover operation.

[0389] Step 414, crossover operation: a crossover operation is performed between parent individuals to generate new offspring individuals. Common crossover operations use single-point crossover, double-point crossover, or uniform crossover methods. The purpose of the crossover operation is to pass on the excellent genes of the parent generation to the offspring and generate a new design scheme.

[0390] Step 415, mutation operation: Mutation operation is performed on the offspring individuals, randomly changing some genes. The purpose of mutation operation is to introduce diversity and prevent falling into local optimal solutions. The mutation rate is usually set to a small value (such as 1%).

[0391] Step 416, population update: merge the newly generated offspring individuals with the parent individuals, and select individuals with higher fitness to form the next generation population, preparing for the next round of iteration.

[0392] Step 417, termination condition judgment: judge whether the stopping criteria are met, such as reaching the maximum number of iterations, the fitness change is less than the set threshold, or the fitness value reaches the preset target. If so, the genetic algorithm optimization process ends, otherwise return to step 412 to continue iteration.

[0393] To ensure the efficiency and stability of the genetic algorithm in the arch axis design optimization of this embodiment, this embodiment systematically designs and verifies the setting basis and value range of the core parameters of the genetic algorithm, mainly including key parameters such as population size, crossover rate, and mutation rate.

[0418] High mutation rate (>0.08): Can be used in the initial stage to prevent the initial population from being too concentrated.

[0419] This example recommends the following settings:

[0420] The variation method adopts Gaussian perturbation method, that is, adding small perturbation values ​​that obey normal distribution to the control point positions to retain the feasibility of the design.

[0432] Step 43, Alternating Iterations: In each iteration cycle, the genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization are performed alternately. In each iteration cycle, the genetic algorithm is used for global search, followed by particle swarm optimization for local optimization. Through multiple rounds of alternating optimization, the search efficiency and accuracy are improved, and the optimal arch axis design is output.

[0433] The particle swarm optimization step is mainly used for local optimization. It adjusts the design solution by simulating the behavior of particles in searching for the optimal solution in the search space. The particle swarm optimization step includes:

[0434] Step 421, particle swarm initialization: Initialize the particle swarm, where each particle represents a design solution, including parameters such as the control point position of the arch axis, thrust, and bending moment; the initial position and velocity of each particle are randomly generated.

[0435] Step 422, fitness evaluation: Calculate the fitness value of each particle. The fitness function is usually the same as the fitness function in GA, which is used to evaluate the quality of the design. The fitness value calculation formula is as follows:

[0436] ,

[0437] in: Represents particles The fitness value of (the larger the value, the better the design); Represents particles The maximum bending moment of the corresponding design scheme (which can be understood as a structural strength index); Represents particles The maximum eccentricity of the corresponding design scheme (which can be understood as an indicator of structural rationality); Represents the weight factor of the bending moment index, which is used to adjust its influence on fitness; Indicates the weight factor of the eccentricity index.

[0444] Where, For particles In the The position of the generation; Represents particles In the The position of the generation; Represents particles In the The speed of generation.

[0445] Step 424, individual optimal and global optimal update: update the individual optimal position of each particle, and select the particle position with the best fitness value among all particles as the global optimal position;

[0446] Individual optimal position update: Each particle updates its individual optimal position according to its current fitness .

[0447] Global optimal position update: Among all particles, the particle position with the best fitness value is selected as the global optimal position .

[0448] Step 425, termination condition judgment: judge whether the stopping criteria are met, such as reaching the maximum number of iterations, fitness convergence or change less than a predetermined threshold, and finding the global optimal solution. If so, the particle swarm optimization process ends, otherwise return to step 3 to continue iteration.

[0449] In this embodiment, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used for local optimization of the control points of the arch axis of the arch bridge. Its performance depends largely on the rationality of the parameter settings. To this end, combined with the engineering characteristics of the structural optimization problem, the inertia weight is used to and learning factors 、 On the two aspects, the parameter selection strategy and the dynamic adjustment method based on problem characteristics are systematically explained to achieve the optimal balance between algorithm convergence speed and solution quality.

[0450] 1. Inertia Weight The value strategy

[0451] (1) Parameter function

[0452] The inertia weight determines the degree to which the particle maintains its historical velocity, and balances exploration ability with convergence ability:

[0453] Larger : Enhance global search capabilities;

[0454] Smaller : Promote local convergence and improve accuracy.

[0455] (2) Benchmark value range

[0456]

[0457] (3) Dynamic adjustment strategy (the present invention adopts: linear decrease strategy)

[0458] Considering that the arch axis optimization problem of an arch bridge requires a large-scale search in the early stage and precise convergence in the later stage, the following linear descent strategy is adopted:

[0459] ,

[0460] : Strengthen global search at the beginning;

[0461] : Enhance local fine adjustment at the end stage;

[0462] : current iteration number;

[0463] : Maximum number of iterations.

[0464] This strategy can effectively balance search speed and accuracy, and improve the diversity and rationality of arch axis design schemes.

[0465] 2. Learning Factor 、 The value strategy

[0466] (1) Parameter function

[0467] : Individual learning factor, which controls the speed at which the particle moves toward its historical optimal position (influenced by individual experience);

[0468] : Social learning factor, which controls the speed at which particles move toward the current optimal position of the group (group synergy influence).

[0469] (2) Benchmark value range

[0470] , [1.5,2.5]

[0471] (3) Dynamic symmetry strategy (traditional method)

[0472]

[0473] It is suitable for general equilibrium problems and has neutral stability, but lacks problem specificity.

[0474] 3. This embodiment adjusts parameters based on the characteristics of the optimization problem

[0475] In view of the structural characteristics of arch bridge axis optimization, the present invention adopts the following asymmetric dynamic adjustment strategy:

[0476] (1) Three-stage structure of stage identification-optimization problem

[0478] Optimization stage: mid-term transition stage. Problem characteristics: convergence trend begins to appear. It is necessary to maintain a balance between particle diversity and convergence direction. Strategic goal: balance exploration and convergence.

[0479] Optimization stage: late convergence stage, problem characteristics: need to quickly concentrate on the local optimal area, fine-tune the control point position, strategic goal: accelerate convergence and improve accuracy.

[0480] (2) Dynamic adjustment formula - asymmetric learning factor variation mechanism:

[0481] ,

[0482] ,

[0483] , : Individual exploratory nature changes from strong to weak;

[0484] , : Group synergy changes from weak to strong.

[0485] This strategy significantly improves the convergence speed and the structural rationality of the arch axis solution by strengthening early diverse search and late concentrated convergence.

[0486] 4. Summary of the effect of parameter adjustment on algorithm performance
