Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic performance-based design technology for building structures, and in particular to a seismic performance-based design method for lightweight ribbed insulated walls, applicable to the engineering design of lightweight self-insulating ribbed walls that simultaneously meet seismic safety and building energy conservation requirements. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly stringent building energy efficiency standards, lightweight self-insulating shear walls, concealed frame walls, and ribbed composite walls that integrate load-bearing, enclosure, and insulation functions have been widely researched and applied. These walls typically use concrete or lightweight concrete panels on both sides, with an insulation core in the middle, and form an integral load-bearing unit through several longitudinal or vertical ribs. This reduces the structural weight while meeting energy efficiency requirements, and has promising prospects for engineering application.

[0003] Current building seismic design codes and several local performance-based design guidelines have specified limits on inter-story drift angles, equivalent damping ratios, and upper limits on axial compression ratios of structural members. However, these guidelines primarily target traditional reinforced concrete frames, shear walls, or seismic isolation and energy dissipation structural systems, and still mainly rely on "bearing capacity design + structural control." For new types of walls such as lightweight self-insulating ribbed walls, only general requirements or simple analogies are provided. In engineering practice, designers often refer to the axial compression ratio and drift angle limits of general shear walls, making it difficult to quantitatively evaluate the ductility development, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation capacity of lightweight ribbed insulated walls under different combinations of axial compression ratios, panel thicknesses, aspect ratios, and the number of ribs. This leads to conservative or uncertain designs.

[0004] On the other hand, numerous quasi-static tests and finite element analyses have been conducted on novel wall structures such as self-insulating concealed frame load-bearing walls, ribbed hollow double-panel shear walls, insulated formwork shear walls, and densely ribbed composite walls. These studies systematically examine the effects of factors such as opening arrangement, reinforcement ratio, and rib construction on bearing capacity, ductility, and hysteretic performance. Some published patents also propose densely ribbed composite wall structural systems with multiple seismic defense lines, focusing on improvements in structural construction and stress mechanisms. However, these studies and technical solutions mainly remain at the level of: evaluating seismic performance from the perspective of component or system testing; providing ductility coefficients, energy dissipation capacity, and failure modes under one or more sets of structural parameters; or providing empirical recommendations on displacement angle and axial compression ratio within the framework of codes.

[0005] There is currently no systematic performance-based design method for lightweight ribbed insulated walls that can directly deduce key parameter combinations such as axial compression ratio, wall height-to-width ratio, panel thickness, number of ribs, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio from seismic fortification intensity and performance targets. Existing technologies also lack methods for establishing regression or semi-theoretical relationships between these multiple parameters and ductility coefficients, equivalent viscous damping coefficients, and ultimate inter-story drift angles based on large-scale experiments and limited metadata, and for constructing a five-dimensional design map to achieve a complete process of "performance targets → parameter ranges → design optimization".

[0006] Against this backdrop, it is necessary to propose a seismic performance-based design method for lightweight ribbed insulated walls. On the one hand, by utilizing existing and supplementary experimental and numerical analysis results, the influence of axial compression ratio, height-to-width ratio, panel thickness, number of ribs, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio on ductility and energy dissipation capacity can be quantified at the component level. On the other hand, within the multi-level performance target framework given by the code, the key parameters mentioned above can be selected and optimized in reverse through multi-parameter design charts or calculation programs. This will break through the existing empirical design mode of "bearing capacity + structural measures" and improve the seismic safety and economy of lightweight ribbed insulated walls while meeting energy-saving requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seismic performance-based design method for lightweight ribbed insulated walls, its implementation system, and storage medium. By establishing multi-parameter performance prediction relationships and a five-dimensional design map, it enables reverse parameter search and multi-objective optimization starting from performance objectives, thereby improving the seismic safety and design economy of lightweight ribbed insulated walls while meeting energy-saving and structural limits.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0009] 1. A seismic performance-based design method for lightweight ribbed insulated walls, comprising:

[0010] S0 Database and Predictive Model Establishment Phase: Through full-scale or scaled-down quasi-static tests, low-cycle cyclic loading tests, and nonlinear finite element analysis, data were collected at different axial compression ratios.

[0012] S2 Performance Target Determination: Based on the performance classification requirements of national or local seismic performance-based design codes, such as "no damage in minor earthquakes, repairable in moderate earthquakes, and no collapse in strong earthquakes," and combined with the engineering fortification objectives, determine the yield inter-story drift angle and ultimate inter-story drift angle of the lightweight ribbed insulated wall under different fortification levels. Target ductility coefficient Target equivalent viscous damping coefficient In addition, indicators such as residual deformation and energy consumption.

[0013] S3 Five-Dimensional Design Space Search: Utilizing the aforementioned performance prediction relationships and multi-parameter design graphs, in (n, H / B, ... , , Searching within the five-dimensional design space satisfies The parameter combinations form a feasible design parameter range or parameter set.

[0014] S4 Constraint Check and Multi-Objective Optimization: Within the feasible parameter range, energy-saving insulation requirements, structural limits, and material mechanical property constraints are considered, including ensuring that panel thickness and insulation layer thickness meet heat transfer coefficient limits, rib spacing and quantity meet thermal bridge control and construction requirements, and axial compression ratio does not exceed the corresponding seismic grade limit. A multi-objective optimization model is established with the objectives of minimizing material usage or overall cost and achieving moderate construction complexity. Heuristic algorithms or gradient optimization methods are used to optimize the (n, H / B, ...) parameter range. , , The solution is optimized to obtain the Pareto optimal parameter set, and the recommended engineering solution is selected from it.

[0015] S5 Seismic Verification and Iterative Adjustment: Based on the determined parameters, establish a simplified hysteretic model or equivalent single-degree-of-freedom model of the lightweight ribbed insulated wall. The hysteretic model includes multi-segmented skeleton curves, stiffness and strength degradation rules, and residual deformation model. Perform response analysis under design earthquake and rare earthquake inputs to verify whether the bearing capacity, inter-story drift angle, ductility development, and energy dissipation capacity meet the performance targets. If not, return to S3 to adjust the parameter combination until it meets the requirements.

[0016] 2. Lightweight Ribbed Insulated Wall Structure: The lightweight ribbed insulated wall of this invention comprises: reinforced concrete or lightweight concrete panels on both sides, an insulation core layer in the middle, and several concrete or lightweight concrete ribs arranged along the wall height or length. The ribs are equipped with longitudinal reinforcement and stirrups, and are reliably connected to the panels via shear keys or connectors to form an integral load-bearing unit. The performance prediction relationship and design diagrams are established for this type of self-insulating ribbed composite wall and are applicable to load-bearing exterior walls or perimeter walls of core tubes.

[0017] 3. Seismic Performance-Based Design System: This system provides a seismic performance-based design system for implementing the above methods, comprising: a memory storing a database of lightweight ribbed insulated walls' test data and finite element data, performance prediction relationships, five-dimensional design maps, and multi-objective optimization algorithms; a processor executing computer programs to perform engineering condition input, performance target setting, five-dimensional design space search, constraint checking, multi-objective optimization, seismic verification, and performance evaluation, and outputting recommended design parameter combinations and performance evaluation results; and a user interface displaying design maps, parameter search results, and performance evaluation reports, and receiving adjustments to performance targets and constraints from designers.

Computer-readable storage medium: The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described performance-based design method for the seismic resistance of lightweight ribbed insulated walls.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. Achieving a reverse design chain from performance targets to parameter selection: Traditional methods for lightweight self-insulating walls primarily rely on load-bearing capacity and structural limits, lacking a parameter reverse-engineering mechanism based on ductility and energy consumption indicators. This invention establishes... , , With n, H / B, , , By establishing explicit or semi-explicit relationships between these relationships, a five-dimensional design map can be constructed, enabling a complete process of "performance target → parameter range → load-bearing capacity and economic optimization," thus making performance-based design of lightweight ribbed insulation walls possible.

[0021] 2. By comprehensively utilizing experimental and finite element results, a predictive model applicable to engineering is formed: Unlike providing empirical suggestions based solely on a single experimental sequence or individual finite element examples, this invention systematically summarizes the results of multi-condition tests and large-scale numerical analysis, and uses multivariate nonlinear regression or semi-theoretical modeling to form a database and predictive model. This improves the reliability of predicting the sluggishness and energy consumption capacity under different parameter combinations, and can significantly reduce the degree of reliance on experience and safety reserves in engineering.

[0022] 3. Balancing seismic performance with building energy conservation and economy: In the parameter search and optimization process, this invention incorporates energy-saving insulation requirements, structural limits and costs into the constraints and objective function, avoiding the situation where only seismic safety is pursued while neglecting insulation performance or cost, which is conducive to the promotion and application of lightweight ribbed insulation walls in high-intensity seismic zones and severe cold and cold regions.

[0023] 4. Facilitates software-based and standardized promotion: Through performance-based design systems and computer programs, the complex five-dimensional design space search, multi-objective optimization, and seismic verification processes are encapsulated into software modules. Designers only need to input engineering conditions and performance objectives to obtain recommended solutions. This facilitates integration with existing building seismic design software and local performance-based design codes, and has good engineering feasibility and promotional value.

[0040] 1.2 Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (Module 112)

[0041] To supplement the insufficient experimental conditions, a system was established in finite element analysis module 112 that is compatible with... Figure 4 The corresponding numerical models include: panels 2 and 3, ribs 5, and edge members 10, which use solid elements or fiber section elements; the insulation core layer 4 uses a material model that is mainly thermal and weakly shear-resistant, which can be simulated by reducing stiffness; the reinforcing bars 7 and 8 use embedded or separate reinforcing bar elements; the concrete uses a nonlinear constitutive model that considers cracking, crushing, and stiffness degradation; and the node constraints simulate the connection between the wall and the foundation or floor slab 12.

[0042] Quasi-static analysis was performed according to the experimental loading regime, and the uncovered parameter combinations were expanded (such as a larger aspect ratio, higher or lower longitudinal reinforcement ratio, etc.) to form a covered (n, H / B, , , A numerical database in five-dimensional space.

[0043] 2. Data Preprocessing and Feature Extraction (Module 113): In data preprocessing module 113, the experimental and finite element results are processed uniformly, including: removing outlier and duplicate data; normalizing each parameter according to commonly used engineering dimensions or dimensionless forms; converting the hysteresis curve into a skeleton curve and identifying the yield point, peak point, and limit point; and using a unified algorithm to calculate... , , Extract features related to ductility and energy dissipation, such as unloading stiffness and residual deformation ratio.

[0051] 5. Model Verification and Update (Module 116)

[0052] In the model verification and update module 116, when new experimental or engineering monitoring data appears: the new data is input into the database and preprocessed again; the error distribution is compared with the calculation results of the original prediction model; when the error exceeds the preset threshold, the model update process is triggered to refit or incrementally update the regression model; the design map data is updated accordingly to ensure that the method has adaptive correction capability over time.

[0053] II. Example 2: Engineering Application Process of Performance-Based Design Method

[0054] This embodiment corresponds to Figure 1 This explains how to use the performance-based design method of this invention in specific engineering projects.

[0055] 1. Engineering Condition Input (Unit 101): Taking a 10-story residential building in an 8-degree seismic fortification zone as an example: Fortification intensity: 8 degrees; Design seismic group, site category, and characteristic period are determined according to the specifications; Structural system: Frame-lightweight ribbed insulated wall composite system, with load-bearing lightweight ribbed insulated wall 1 for the exterior walls; Floor height: 3.0 m, calculated shear wall height H is approximately 3.0 m; Calculated wall width B is 2.0–3.0 m; Vertical load: Axial force design value is obtained by converting the dead load and live load of the upper floors; Building energy conservation requirements: The heat transfer coefficient of the exterior walls meets the local energy conservation standards, for example… The above information is input into the design system via engineering condition input unit 101.

[0056] 2. Performance Target Setting (Unit 102): Based on local performance-based design guidelines and owner requirements, the following targets are set: Under minor earthquakes (frequent earthquakes): the walls should primarily function as elastic structures, with inter-story drift angles not exceeding [a certain value]. Ductility coefficient ~2.0; Under moderate earthquakes (design earthquakes): moderate cracking and repairable damage are permissible, ductility coefficient Take 3.0 to 4.0, equivalent damping Not less than 8% to 10%, inter-story drift angle limit Set according to the standard or slightly relaxed values; Under major earthquakes (rare earthquakes): with the goal of "preventing collapse", the ductility coefficient... Take 4.0 to 6.0, equivalent damping Not less than 12% to 15%, ultimate inter-story drift angle The upper limit of the reference component test. The performance target setting unit 102 organizes the above indicators into a multi-level performance target set for subsequent search.

[0057] 3. Five-Dimensional Design Space Search (Unit 104): Database call and performance prediction unit 103 reads the prediction relationship and design map data established in Example 1. The five-dimensional design space search unit 104 operates according to the following steps: Determine the initial range of parameters, for example: , , , , Within the aforementioned range, perform grid division or generate a large number of candidate points using methods such as Latin hypercube sampling; for each candidate point... ,use , , Calculate the corresponding performance indicators; screen targets for moderate and major earthquakes separately, retaining those that simultaneously meet the requirements. , , The system identifies the parameter points and initially forms a set of feasible design parameters. If there are too few feasible points under a certain design waterproofing level, the system can automatically prompt for appropriate adjustments to the performance targets or parameter ranges.

[0058] 4. Constraint Checking and Multi-Objective Optimization (Units 105, 106): In constraint checking unit 105, further constraint screening is performed on the selected parameter points: Energy saving constraint: based on panel thickness. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient K based on the insulation layer thickness and thermal conductivity, and the requirements are as follows: Construction and structural constraints: The spacing between ribs is determined by the wall length and... The decision should meet the requirements for construction, formwork erection, and thermal bridge control; panel thickness Not less than the minimum value specified in the specifications and product standards; Axial compression ratio and reinforcement limits: Axial compression ratio n does not exceed the limit of the corresponding seismic grade; Longitudinal reinforcement ratio Within the specified range and meeting the minimum and maximum reinforcement ratio requirements, a constrained feasible set is obtained after the above checks. Based on this, the bearing capacity and economic optimization unit 106 is used to construct an optimization model, for example: decision variables: Objective function: The material volume or the consumption per ton of steel or ton of concrete is minimized; Minimal overall cost; optional Minimal construction complexity (e.g., measured by penalizing excessively small rib spacing or excessively large reinforcement ratios); Constraints: Performance constraints: The objectives must be met; energy-saving constraints include K-limit; structural and material constraints include axial compression ratio, reinforcement ratio, and dimensional limits. Multi-objective optimization algorithms (such as NSGA-II and particle swarm optimization) are preferred to search for Pareto optimal solutions. Finally, the system recommends 1-3 parameter schemes based on the designer's priorities (safety first or economy first), for example: Scheme A (safety first): , , , , Option B (Economical Priority): , , , , .

[0059] 5. Seismic Verification and Performance Evaluation (Unit 107): Unit 107 conducts further dynamic response analysis on the above candidate schemes, mainly including: mapping recommended parameters to an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom model or a multi-degree-of-freedom shear model for a single wall; using a simplified hysteresis model; determining the multi-segment skeleton curve, stiffness and strength degradation rules, and residual deformation model based on experimental and numerical results; inputting representative ground motions of frequent, fortification, and rare earthquakes for time history analysis or response spectrum analysis; calculating the inter-story drift angle, residual deformation, hysteretic energy dissipation, and equivalent damping ratio under each fortification level; and comparing each item with the performance objectives to determine whether the objectives such as "no damage in minor earthquakes, repairable in moderate earthquakes, and no collapse in major earthquakes" are met. When a scheme fails to meet the objectives, it can automatically return to the five-dimensional design space search unit 104, adjust the parameters, and re-optimize and verify until a scheme that meets the requirements is obtained.

[0060] 6. Results Output (Unit 108): Result Output Unit 108 organizes the final recommended parameter scheme into design results that can be directly applied to the project, including: the geometric dimensions (H / B, t_p, etc.) of the lightweight ribbed insulation wall for each floor or typical floor; the number and spacing of ribs, reinforcement ratio and specific reinforcement details (corresponding to Example 3); the corresponding ductility coefficient, equivalent damping and ultimate inter-story drift angle; and performance evaluation reports under each waterproofing level. The above results can be exported as reports or interface files with structural design software for subsequent construction drawing design.

[0061] III. Example 3: Construction and Parameter Mapping of Lightweight Ribbed Insulated Wall

[0062] This embodiment corresponds to Figure 4 This explains how to design wall structures using parameters determined according to the method of this invention.
