Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of random vibration analysis of civil engineering structures, and in particular relates to a nonlinear seismic random response analysis method of bridge piers based on a BWBN model. Background Art
[0002] As key hubs in regional highway transportation networks, ensuring their seismic performance and structural safety is of paramount engineering importance. Reinforced concrete (RC) piers, crucial load-bearing components supporting bridge superstructures, exhibit complex nonlinear seismic response characteristics and failure mechanisms under strong earthquakes, making them susceptible to damage and failure, jeopardizing the overall service safety of the bridge structure. Therefore, research on the seismic performance of RC piers has become a key and challenging issue in modern bridge seismic theory.
[0003] Currently, the nonlinear time-history analysis (NTHA) method based on the fiber beam model is commonly used to address the nonlinear dynamic response of RC bridge pier structures under strong earthquakes. This method simulates the failure process of RC bridge pier structures under deterministic excitation. However, as a nonlinear analysis method based on discrete elements, the fiber beam model's core lies in the layered numerical integration of discretized cross-sections, which significantly increases the computational complexity. In addition, the stress-strain relationship of the material under different states affects the analysis results, requiring the precise definition of material parameters and the establishment of a complex nonlinear constitutive model, resulting in a significant contradiction between computational efficiency and model accuracy. Therefore, under strong earthquakes, accurately simulating the mechanical behavior of RC bridge pier structures after they enter the nonlinear state using a refined numerical model is crucial for evaluating the seismic safety of RC bridge pier structures. The Bouc-Wen-Baber-Noori (BWBN) hysteretic model, derived from the Bouc-Wen hysteretic model, has been widely used in the engineering field because it can comprehensively consider hysteretic characteristics such as strength degradation, stiffness degradation, and pinching effect. By introducing a highly nonlinear and parameterized constitutive relationship, the BWBN hysteretic model effectively avoids stress assessment at the cross-sectional level and can simulate the nonlinear mechanical behavior of different cross-sections using a unified differential equation through calibrated hysteresis parameters, significantly reducing computational complexity.
[0004] At the same time, to ensure effective deterministic results for nonlinear time-history analysis of RC bridge pier structures, a large sample of seismic time-history excitations should be selected, and the nonlinear dynamic equations should be solved through stepwise integration. This makes the nonlinear time-history analysis process very time-consuming and limits the efficiency of the analysis. More importantly, the output of nonlinear time-history analysis is a time-history curve (such as displacement and acceleration), which requires post-processing to extract statistical information (such as peak value and envelope), but it is difficult to directly obtain the probability distribution of the response or reliability indicators. It is important to note that seismic excitation is essentially a nonstationary random process. The nonlinear random response analysis (NRSRVA) of RC bridge pier structures under nonstationary excitation can reflect the actual response characteristics. Because it is based on a frequency-domain method, the statistical characteristics of the seismic motion are characterized by the power spectral density (PSD), and the root mean square value and peak distribution of the response can be directly obtained, eliminating the need for stepwise integration in the time domain. This improves computational efficiency while ensuring analysis accuracy.
[0005] However, the non-stationary random response analysis of RC bridge pier structures has traditionally been simplified to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system, while the analysis of the non-stationary random response of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems remains insufficient. In fact, the non-stationary random response analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems overcomes the limitations of SDOF systems in terms of missing vibration modes, excitation modeling, and reliability quantification by constructing a multidimensional random process framework. It can also capture the dynamic interactions between different degrees of freedom and consider the non-uniform damage of various parts of the RC bridge pier structure (such as displacement angle distribution and plastic hinge distribution), providing accurate solutions for the non-stationary random response analysis and seismic performance assessment of RC bridge pier structures.
[0006] When analyzing the nonstationary random response of RC bridge pier structures, analytical solutions to the nonlinear system's differential equations of motion are difficult to obtain directly due to their mathematical complexity, requiring the use of specialized approximate solutions. Compared to traditional methods such as Markov analysis (MCA) and standard Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), the high-order stochastic equivalent linearization (SEL) method utilizes statistical linearization and stochastic averaging to determine the power spectral density (PSD) of the system response, avoiding the generation of a large number of random samples. This method offers significant advantages in computational efficiency and parameter sensitivity, making it suitable for analyzing the random response of MDOF hysteretic systems of RC bridge pier structures under nonstationary excitation. Existing research has primarily focused on solving the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of the BWBN model when the smoothness parameter n = 1 is used. To truly reflect the hysteretic characteristics of RC bridge pier structures, it is urgent to consider the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of the BWBN hysteretic model when it exhibits higher-order smoothness (n = 2). Furthermore, the high-order SEL method is employed to iteratively solve the equivalent stiffness and damping matrices to improve analytical accuracy. Summary of the Invention

Based on the finite element nonlinear analysis numerical model, the covariance matrix of the random response of the concrete pier structure, and the site condition parameters, the random response analysis of the concrete pier structure is carried out, and the typical working conditions of random excitation are explored to complete the nonlinear seismic random response analysis of the pier.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: based on high-order smooth characteristics and a parameterized BWBN hysteresis model, the present invention constructs a refined numerical model that can effectively simulate the bending moment-curvature of a multi-degree-of-freedom concrete pier structure, significantly improving the simulation accuracy of the nonlinear complex hysteretic behavior of the concrete pier structure, while effectively improving the efficiency of numerical calculations, reducing the running time of the seismic random response analysis method, improving the calculation accuracy, and realizing the true characterization of the response characteristics of the reinforced concrete pier structure under nonlinear seismic random excitation.
[0010] Furthermore, the S1 includes the following steps: S101. Select a concrete pier structure with a preset pier height, discretize the concrete pier structure using a cantilever column model, and simulate it using a nonlinear beam element to obtain a simulated concrete pier model. S102. Based on the simulated concrete pier model, the sum of the half-span masses of the adjacent span main beams is used as an equivalent mass, and the equivalent mass is applied to the top of the concrete pier in a discrete distribution manner to obtain a processed concrete pier model. S103. Apply a constant vertical force to the treated concrete pier model, establish a bending moment and curvature relationship curve, use an idealized bifold line model to perform equivalent simplification on the bending moment and curvature relationship curve to obtain a simplified bending moment and curvature relationship curve, and use the energy equivalence principle to calculate the equivalent yield curvature and the ultimate curvature; S104. Use the equivalent yield curvature to normalize the hysteretic curvature to obtain the normalized hysteretic curvature. Based on the processed concrete pier model, the equivalent yield curvature, the limit curvature and the normalized hysteretic curvature, a finite element nonlinear analysis numerical model considering the hysteretic effect is constructed.
[0011] Furthermore, the S2 includes the following steps: S201. Combining linear and nonlinear differential equations, a BWBN model is constructed. By setting the hysteresis parameter value, the hysteresis constitutive relation of the bending moment and curvature is characterized, and the influence law of the hysteresis curve is obtained; S202. According to the physical meaning of each hysteresis parameter and the influence of the hysteresis curve, the hysteresis parameter values of the BWBN model are set, and the hysteresis constitutive relationship of the bending moment and curvature is characterized using each hysteresis parameter to obtain a characterized BWBN model. S203. Based on the discretized concrete pier structure, a consistent double-node Euler-Bernoulli beam element is used for simulation. Combined with the characterized BWBN model, a degenerate beam finite element model with the hysteretic evolution equation of the BWBN model is established.
[0012] Furthermore, the S203 includes the following steps: S2031. Based on the discretized concrete pier structure and Euler-Bernoulli, calculate the cross-sectional curvature of the beam end and the hysteretic relationship between the inelastic bending moment and curvature, and construct the plastic constitutive relationship for axial deformation. S2032. Introduce additional hysteresis degrees of freedom to obtain node displacements and hysteresis degrees of freedom vectors, and construct a displacement field within the unit. Obtain the total curvature and the deformation form of the central axis through the displacement field. S2033. Construct a coordinated interpolation function based on the plastic effect distributed along the length of the element; S2034. Using the principle of virtual work, combining virtual generalized strain with virtual node displacement vector and external node load vector, a virtual relationship is derived; S2035. Substitute the plastic constitutive relation related to the inelastic bending moment and curvature hysteresis relationship and the axial deformation into the virtual relation, and combine the coordinated interpolation function and the variation form of the total curvature and the central axis to obtain the constitutive matrix relationship; S2036. Using the transformation matrix, transform the constitutive matrix relationship to the global coordinate system to obtain the constitutive matrix relationship of the global coordinates; S2037. Based on the constitutive matrix relationship of the global coordinates and combined with the characterized BWBN model, a degenerate beam finite element model with the hysteretic evolution equation of the BWBN model is obtained.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this further approach are: constructing a multi-degree-of-freedom random process framework, breaking through the limitations of single-degree-of-freedom systems in terms of missing vibration modes, excitation modeling, and reliability quantification. At the same time, it can capture the dynamic interactions between different degrees of freedom and consider the non-uniform damage of various parts of the concrete pier structure, providing an accurate solution for the non-stationary random response analysis and seismic performance evaluation of concrete pier structures.
[0014] Furthermore, the S3 includes the following steps: S301. Ignore the axial nonlinear behavior of the concrete pier structure and the hysteretic strain corresponding to the axial deformation to obtain the unit hysteresis vector. Based on the degenerate beam finite element model, combined with the unit connection topology, mass distribution, and boundary constraints, construct the system motion equilibrium equation to obtain the hysteretic curvature vector. S302, performing high-order equivalent linearization on the hysteresis curvature vector to obtain an equivalent linearization coefficient; S303. Ignore the partial derivatives of the strength degradation parameter, stiffness degradation parameter, degree pinching parameter, and width pinching parameter in the BWBN model, and replace them with the mean approximation to obtain the expected values of the strength degradation parameter, stiffness degradation parameter, degree pinching parameter, and width pinching parameter. S304: In response to the expected values of the calculated strength degradation parameter, the stiffness degradation parameter, the degree pinching parameter, and the width pinching parameter, a partial derivative operation is performed on the equivalent linearization coefficient, and a formula is derived using the curvature variation and the hysteresis curvature to obtain an expression for the partial derivative coefficient; S305, defining a first state vector, and converting the system motion equation into a state space equation; S306. Combining the expected values, partial derivative coefficient expressions and state-space equations, a high-order stochastic equivalent linearized form of the hysteretic motion equation based on the BWBN model is constructed.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: the present invention utilizes statistical linearization and random averaging through the experimental high-order random equivalent linearization method to avoid the generation of a large number of random samples, and shows significant advantages in computational efficiency and parameter sensitivity. It is suitable for the random response analysis of concrete pier structures under non-stationary excitation in multi-degree-of-freedom hysteresis systems of concrete pier structures.
[0016] Furthermore, the S4 includes the following steps: S401. Based on random process theory and the high-order random equivalent linearization form of the hysteretic motion equation, the seismic acceleration function and time modulation function are constructed. The stationary power spectral density function under earthquake excitation is constructed as a Kanei Kiyoshi model of a series second-order filter. A shaping filter excited by white noise is introduced, and the second state vector is defined to construct a random process model of seismic motion. S402. Based on representative strong earthquake records and the conditions of each site, the mean, standard deviation, and quantile of time domain parameters and frequency domain parameters are calculated respectively. A prediction equation is established for regression analysis. Using a statistical distribution estimation method, characteristic ground motion parameters corresponding to the site conditions are obtained. Filter parameters related to soil stiffness are selected to obtain site condition parameters. S403, setting an augmented state vector, obtaining a covariance matrix of the augmented state vector, and dynamically iteratively updating the equivalent matrix by solving the Lyapunov function to obtain a covariance matrix of the random response of the concrete pier structure.
[0017] Furthermore, the step S401 includes the following steps: S4011. Based on the theory of random processes and the high-order random equivalent linearization form of the hysteretic motion equation, the ground acceleration function and time modulation function are constructed by ignoring the time-varying characteristics of the frequency. S4012. Based on the CP model, a bilateral evolutionary power spectral density function of earthquake excitation is constructed. Using the Jinjingqing model with a series second-order filter, a stationary power spectral density function of earthquake excitation in the CP model is constructed. The power spectrum intensity of the input white noise random process in the Jinjingqing model is related to the peak acceleration of the ground motion. S4013. Introducing a shaping filter, based on the power spectrum intensity of a constant input white noise random process, constructing an expression for the joint response process of a bilinear filter under white noise excitation; S4014. Define a second state vector, convert the expression of the joint response process of the bilinear filter under white noise excitation and the seismic acceleration function into a state space equation, and construct a seismic random process model.
[0018] The beneficial effect of this further solution is that, by treating seismic excitation as a nonstationary random process, the nonlinear random response analysis of concrete pier structures under nonstationary excitation can reflect the actual response characteristics. Furthermore, by characterizing the statistical characteristics of seismic motion using power spectral density, the root mean square value and peak distribution of the response can be directly obtained, eliminating the need for stepwise integration in the time domain. This results in higher computational efficiency while maintaining analytical accuracy.
[0019] Furthermore, the S403 includes the following steps: S4031. Set the augmented state vector, establish a joint expression of the system and the excitation, and obtain the covariance matrix of the augmented state vector by solving; S4032. Setting the initial state of the covariance matrix of the augmented state vector, and obtaining the Lyapunov function of the dynamic response by recursion based on the backward difference method; S4033. By solving the Lyapunov function and dynamically iteratively updating the equivalent matrix, in response to the covariance matrix difference between the current and subsequent iterative augmented state vectors meeting the preset error accuracy requirement, the covariance matrix of the random response of the concrete pier structure is output.
[0020] The beneficial effect of the above further scheme is: the present invention uses a high-order stochastic equivalent linearization method and a steady-state solution of the Lyapunov equation to achieve iterative updating of the equivalent stiffness and damping matrices, thereby reducing the linearization cumulative error and improving the analysis accuracy.
[0021] Furthermore, the S5 includes the following steps: S501. Based on the finite element nonlinear analysis numerical model, the covariance matrix of the random response of the concrete pier structure, and site condition parameters, and using the Kanei Kiyoshi model of a series second-order filter, the random response characteristics of the structure under specific earthquake excitation intensities are explored. The random response analysis of the concrete pier structure is performed under strong earthquake excitation with peak acceleration corresponding to the power spectrum intensity, and the root mean square value of the pier bottom curvature and the average hysteresis time history of the pier bottom are obtained. S502. Using incremental dynamic analysis, the dual parameters of pier bottom curvature and pier top displacement are used as indicators for evaluating the seismic performance of concrete pier structures. S503. Using typical working conditions of random excitation, conduct comparative analysis to obtain differentiated contribution characteristics of basic vibration modes and higher-order vibration modes to the RMS peak value of the pier body curvature and the RMS peak value of the pier body displacement; S504.

[0035] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to facilitate understanding of the present invention by those skilled in the art. However, it should be clear that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims, these changes are obvious, and all inventions and creations utilizing the concepts of the present invention are protected.
[0036] Before describing this embodiment, the following terms are explained: Euler–Bernoulli theory: Euler-Bernoulli theory; BWBN model: Bouc-Wen-Baber-Noori model, used to describe the hysteretic behavior of structural components under cyclic loading and ground motion excitation; SEL: equivalent linearization; Lyapunov function: Lyapunov function; RMS Peak: Root mean square peak value.
[0037] Example like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a nonlinear seismic random response analysis method for bridge piers based on the BWBN model, and its implementation method is as follows: S1. A concrete bridge pier structure with a preset pier height is selected as the object of seismic random response analysis. The concrete bridge pier structure is discretized, and a finite element nonlinear analysis numerical model considering the hysteresis effect is constructed.
[0038] In this embodiment, a continuous beam bridge is used as the prototype, and the pier height is selected as the preset height. H The RC bridge pier structure is taken as the object of seismic random response analysis, and the following Figure 2 The finite element nonlinear analysis numerical model shown in the figure considers the hysteresis effect, ignores the pile-soil interaction effect, and regards the pier bottom constraint as a consolidated state. The specific steps for constructing the finite element numerical model of the RC bridge pier structure are as follows: The RC pier structure is discretized using the cantilever column model. The discretization divides the RC pier structure into The unit is equal in length and the height of each unit is cc. The nonlinear beam unit based on the BWBN hysteresis model is used for detailed simulation. Considering the influence of the mass of the main beam of the adjacent span on the pier column, the sum of the mass of the half spans of the adjacent spans, M1, is taken and concentrated on the pier top. Since the mass of the RC pier body is greater than the mass of the superstructure, the equivalent mass M1 is discretely distributed to the pier top node position; like Figure 3 As shown, a constant vertical axial force is applied and the elastic-plastic bending moment of the pier bottom section is established based on the existing section software.
