In addition, the external load borne by the structure and the mechanical properties of the structure material both have significant randomness, and the two influence each other, which can cause the diversity and complexity of the nonlinear behavior of the railway concrete bridge stress. In addition, the earthquake activity is frequent in China, and the existing damaged railway concrete bridge faces the threat of the earthquake action in its service period.

[0049] Embodiment One

[0050] A railway concrete bridge seismic reliability analysis method based on probability density evolution is provided in the present embodiment, which is applicable to the case where fatigue load is a stationary random excitation, and includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 1, determining the basic random variables of external load and concrete material;

[0059] Step 9, calculating structural reliability.

[0060] The flow is shown as Figure 1 .

[0061] The railway concrete bridge seismic reliability analysis method based on probability density evolution provided in the embodiment establishes a structure failure criterion according to the random damage evolution law and random damage excitation of the railway concrete bridge, and evaluates the overall reliability of the existing damage railway concrete bridge structure under the action of the earthquake. The overall reliability evaluation method of the railway concrete bridge is illustrated by taking the Qingshuihe Bridge in the southwest of Guizhou Province as an example. The overall layout of the Qingshuihe Bridge is shown in Figure 2 . The main bridge of the bridge is taken as the analysis object, the main girder of the bridge is made of C50 concrete, and is a single-box single-cell variable cross-section prestressed concrete box girder. The cross-section diagram of the main girder at the support pier and the midspan of the main girder is shown in Figure 3 . The main bridge is provided with two piers, and the pier heights are 86m and 100m respectively. For the sake of convenience, the 86m high pier is recorded as the 1# pier, and the 100m high pier is recorded as the 2# pier. The piers of the main bridge are made of C30 concrete, and are variable cross-section rectangular hollow piers. The cross-section diagram of the pier body of the 2# pier is shown in Figure 4 .

[0062] The external load of the railway concrete bridge and the randomness of the concrete material are obtained, and the basic random variables of the random bridge system are obtained by integration. Specifically,

[0063] The external load of the railway concrete bridge considers the train fatigue load and the seismic action. The random variable Θ f of the train fatigue load takes the circular frequency ω f and the phase angle of the random harmonic function. The random variable Θ e of the seismic action takes the time interval T e between the occurrence of adjacent two earthquakes and the acceleration peak value y f at the occurrence of each earthquake. The randomness of the concrete material is the homogenization surface energy parameter Γ, the coefficient κ in the attenuation term reflecting the interaction of micro-cracks and the fracture strain field Δ(x) in the micro-meso random fatigue damage constitutive model of the concrete.

[0064] The basic random variables of the random bridge system can be obtained by integrating the external load and the random variables of concrete material, which are denoted as:

[0065]

[0066] The train fatigue load process is simulated by the random harmonic function method, and 20 circular frequency random variables ω f f,1 f,2 f,20 and 20 phase angle random variables are combined as the basic random variables of the train fatigue load The earthquake sequence process is generated by the Monte Carlo method, and 2 time interval random variables T e e,1 e,2 and 2 acceleration peak random variables y e e,1 e,2 are combined as the basic random variables of the earthquake action Θ e e e .

[0067] The overall probability space formed by the probability space of all basic random variables is divided to obtain a number of probability subspaces and their assigned probabilities, specifically:

[0068] The overall probability space formed by the probability space of all basic random variables is divided by the probability space division method of Voronoi region, and 482 probability subspaces Ω q q=1,2,…,482 are obtained; the representative points θ q =(θ f,q ,θ e,q ), θ f =(θ f,q ,θ w,q ) are selected by the point selection strategy of GF deviation, where θ f,q represents the train fatigue load random variable sample, θ e,q represents the earthquake sequence random variable sample, q=1,2,…,482; and the assigned probability P q of each point in the probability subspace is obtained, q=1,2,…,482.

[0069] Based on variable identification, the corresponding train fatigue load sample L f,q is obtained by the train fatigue load random variable sample θ tr,q q=1,2,…,482.​​​​​​​​, q = 1, 2,..., 482; by the earthquake sequence random variable sample θ e,q , q = 1, 2,..., 482 get the corresponding earthquake sequence sample L er,q (t), q = 1, 2,..., 482; each train fatigue load sample L tr,q and the corresponding earthquake sequence sample L er,q (t) is the combination probability of the corresponding variable sample, that is, the probability of the probability subspace P q . Figure 5 The random load combination process based on probability space subdivision is described. Table 1 shows the specific information of 4 groups of sample combinations.

[0070] Table 1

[0071]

[0072] Based on the probability subspace and its assigned probability, fatigue response analysis and seismic response analysis are carried out, specifically:

[0073] Fatigue response analysis:

[0074] Based on the micro-meso random fatigue damage constitutive model of concrete, the basic physical equation for fatigue response analysis of railway concrete bridge structure under long-term train fatigue load is established, and the finite element numerical method is used for solving, and a kind of self-adaptive precision control cycle jump type fatigue acceleration algorithm is used to improve the calculation efficiency, and finally the whole process of fatigue development of railway bridge structure under train fatigue load is obtained. In which, the finite element numerical calculation is completed by ABAQUS software, and the solution of cycle jump acceleration algorithm is realized by Python program.

[0075] As Figure 6 shown, the fatigue response analysis process is as follows:

[0076] The random fatigue load sample of the last step is converted into the corresponding equivalent constant amplitude load sample by using the equivalent constant amplitude load method.

[0077] According to the equivalent constant amplitude load sample of the last step, the structure finite element model is established by ABAQUS / CAE, and the model file (.inp file) is generated;

[0078] At least three complete cycles are calculated by Python program calling ABAQUS to generate result data file (.odb file); in the solving process, ABAQUS calls the concrete fatigue random damage constitutive relationship through user-defined subprogram UMAT; the ABAQUS finite element numerical solution of structure physical equation is as follows:

[0079]

[0080] where, is the Nabla operator; σ is the stress tensor; b represents the body force component per unit mass; u is the displacement component; ρ is the material density; η is the viscous damping coefficient; I is the identity tensor; D is the damage tensor; C0 is the initial stiffness tensor of the material; ε and ε p are the total strain tensor and the plastic strain tensor, respectively; is the displacement on the boundary surface; n is the unit normal vector on the boundary surface; is the external force on the boundary surface.

[0081] Read the values of the variables of interest in the data file (.odb file) of the previous step results, use the extrapolation jump method to interpolate the relevant variables, and generate a data file (.dat file) that stores the values of the variables after jumping.

[0082] By calling the SDVINI subroutine in the UMAT subroutine to set the initial condition reading, and reading the values after jumping in the data file of the previous step, assign them as the new initial conditions to the relevant variables to perform the next step of ABAQUS progressive fatigue cycle calculation.

[0083] Repeat the above steps until the structure or component is damaged; integrate the jump results of each time to output the complete structure fatigue development process under the equivalent constant amplitude load sample.

[0084] According to energy equivalence, the structure fatigue process under random fatigue load sample is obtained, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0085] Seismic response analysis:

[0086] As shown in Figure 7 , the fatigue damage obtained by fatigue response analysis is used as the initial condition to establish the basic physical equation for seismic response analysis of existing damage railway concrete bridge structure, and the finite element numerical analysis method is used to solve the following basic physical equation based on the ABAQUS platform:

[0087]

[0088] where, is the Nabla operator; σ is the stress tensor; b represents the body force component per unit mass; ε and ε p are the total strain tensor and the plastic strain tensor, respectively; u is the unit displacement tensor; I is the identity tensor; D is the damage tensor; C0 is the initial stiffness tensor of the material; is the displacement on the boundary surface; n is the unit normal vector on the boundary surface; is the external force on the boundary surface.

[0089] Analysis results:

[0090] The train load and seismic sequence information of sample 34 are analyzed, and details are shown in Table 1. For sample 34, the meeting time of train load and seismic action is the 68th year of the service period of the structure. At this time, the number of train fatigue load is 1839600 times, and the peak acceleration of ground motion is 0.4g. The fatigue damage generated under the train fatigue load is taken as the initial damage of the bridge structure, and the San Fernando earthquake with an acceleration peak of 0.4g is applied to the structure to perform seismic response analysis. The analysis results show that at the time t = 6.42s, the plastic hinge first appears at the top of the 1# pier; then, at t = 7.72s, the plastic hinge appears at the bottom of the 1# pier; then, at t = 9.53s, the longitudinal reinforcement at the top of the 2# pier yields; then, at t = 10.13s, the hinge appears at the bottom of the 2# pier; finally, at t = 14.95s, the top of the 1# pier is damaged. Based on the fatigue response analysis results and the seismic response analysis results, the failure criterion function of the random bridge system is constructed, and based on the failure criterion function, the probability dissipation factor of the random bridge system is obtained, specifically:

[0091] For train fatigue load and seismic action, the fatigue failure criterion and the seismic failure criterion of the structure are defined as:

[0092]

[0093] In the formula, e i is the i th unit, ED is the damage concentration zone; L p,c is the plastic hinge area; d i is the damage variable of the i th unit; d th,f is the fatigue damage threshold; d th,e is the seismic damage threshold.

[0094] The failure criterion function of the system can be expressed as:

[0095]

[0096] In the formula, H(·) is the Heaviside function; d ED represents the damage of the damage concentration zone; represents the damage of the plastic hinge area; H(d th,f -d ED (t)) represents: if the fatigue damage of the unit in the damage concentration zone is greater than the fatigue damage threshold, the structure is damaged by fatigue; represents: if the unit damage in the plastic hinge area is greater than the seismic damage threshold, the structure is damaged by earthquake.

[0097] According to the failure criterion function, the probability dissipation factor of the system is obtained:

[0098]

[0099] The above formula shows that if the system does not have any form of damage, the system probability does not dissipate; on the contrary, if the system has fatigue damage or earthquake damage, the system will dissipate the probability.

[0100] Based on the probability dissipation factor, the probability density evolution theory is used to obtain the overall reliability of the railway concrete bridge structure under the combined action of train fatigue load and earthquake, specifically:

[0101] The system probability dissipation factor H obtained in step 6 is combined mu , and the equation set for solving the overall reliability of the railway concrete bridge structure under the combined action of train fatigue load and earthquake is obtained.

[0102] Among them, for the train fatigue load displacement of the random bridge system, the results obtained by the fatigue response analysis in the foregoing are substituted into the following generalized probability density evolution equation set after probability dissipation and solved:

[0103]

[0104] In the formula, p(-) represents probability; u m,f is the train fatigue load displacement of the random bridge system; t f is the evolution time of the train fatigue load displacement, with the unit of year; Θ is the basic random variable of the system; S mu (t) is the failure criterion function of the system, H mu (S mu (t)) is the probability dissipation factor of the system; u m,f (t0) is the displacement corresponding to the initial time t0 of the train fatigue load action; t coin is the time when the train fatigue load and earthquake meet; u m,e (t→(t coin ) + ) is the displacement generated by the earthquake when the earthquake action ends.

[0105] For the earthquake displacement of the random bridge system, the results obtained by the earthquake response analysis in the foregoing are substituted into the following generalized probability density evolution equation set after probability dissipation and solved:

[0106]

[0107] In the formula, p(-) represents probability; u m,e is the earthquake displacement under the combined action of train load and earthquake; t e is the evolution time of the earthquake displacement, with the unit of second; Θ is the basic random variable of the system; S mu(t) is the failure criterion function of the system, H mu (S mu (t) is the probability dissipation factor of the system; u m,f (t0) represents the displacement corresponding to the initial time t0 of the train fatigue load application; t coin The moment when train fatigue load coincides with an earthquake;

[0108] u m,e (t→(t coin ) - ) represents the displacement caused by the fatigue load of the train when it coincides with an earthquake.

[0109] Solving the two sets of equations above will yield the probability density distribution of train fatigue displacement. With earthquake displacement probability density distribution

[0110] The probability density distribution of train fatigue displacement obtained in step 7 With earthquake displacement probability density distribution By superimposing these values, the probability density distribution of the final displacement of the railway concrete bridge structure can be obtained. Right now:

[0111]

[0112] The final total probability density evolution results of the vertical displacement at mid-span of the Qingshuihe Bridge are shown in the attached figure. Figure 8 As shown.

[0113] Overall reliability R of railway concrete bridge structures under combined train loads and earthquakes m (t) can be obtained from the probability density distribution of the final displacement. The result obtained by performing a global integral is:

[0114]

[0115] The final overall reliability results of the Qingshuihe Bridge under the combined action of fatigue load and earthquake are shown in the attached figure. Figure 9 As shown.

[0116] This invention employs a probability density evolution reliability assessment method with a solid theoretical foundation to evaluate the seismic reliability of existing damaged railway concrete bridges. Compared to classical reliability analysis methods, this method uses probability density evolution theory to uniformly handle various randomnesses in the system, scientifically reflecting the propagation law of randomness in physical systems, and is more suitable for analyzing the reliability of complex nonlinear structures.

[0117] Theoretical basis of this invention:

[0118] Using classical mechanics, engineering structures can be viewed as conservative systems that obey the law of conservation of energy. Furthermore, since real-world engineering structures are always subject to random disturbances from both the external environment and their internal structure, the concept of conservative stochastic systems is introduced to describe them. In a conservative stochastic system, the system not only obeys the law of conservation of energy but also exhibits randomness. For a conservative stochastic system, if no new random factors are added and no existing random factors disappear during its state evolution, then probability conservation is satisfied during the system's state evolution. This principle is known as the principle of probability conservation.

[0119] The principle of probability conservation can be examined from two different perspectives: state-space description and random event description. The random event description of the probability conservation principle states that the probability measure of the same random event remains constant during mathematical and physical changes. The generalized probability density evolution equation is derived using this statement.

[0120] A general stochastic dynamical system can be described in the following form:

[0121]

[0122] In the formula, Z(t) is the physical quantity of interest; x and t are spatial and temporal variables; Θ = (Θ1, Θ2, ..., Θt). s ) represents the basic random variable in the system; λ represents the deterministic physical parameter in the system; and L(·) represents the differential operator describing the system.

[0123] According to the principle of probability conservation, the probability measure of a certain state of the system does not change within any time increment, that is:

[0124]

[0125] In the formula, Pr{·} represents the probability of a random event occurring, and Ω θ Let Ω be any region in the distribution space Θ. t Let × represent the corresponding region in the Z distribution space at time t, where × denotes Ω. θ With Ω t A probability space spanned by both.

[0126] Based on the principle of probability conservation, and through a series of derivations, the following generalized probability density evolution equation can be obtained:

[0127]

[0128] In the formula, Let m represent the j-th component of Z(t), and m be the number of components of Z(t).

[0129] The initial conditions for the above equation are:

[0130]

[0131] where, is a deterministic initial value.

[0132] In particular, when only one physical quantity is of interest (m = 1), the generalized probability density evolution equation is reduced to a one-dimensional partial differential equation:

[0133]

[0134] The initial condition of the above equation is:

[0135]

[0136] Based on the initial condition, the joint probability density distribution of the target physical state variable Z and the basic random variable Θ can be obtained by solving the above generalized probability density evolution equation: The time-varying process of the probability density of the target state variable can be obtained by integrating with respect to θ, i.e.:

[0137]

[0138] From the perspective of the one-dimensional generalized probability density evolution equation, the one-dimensional partial differential equation can be expressed as:

[0139]

[0140] From the above equation, it can be found that the joint probability density distribution The rate of change with respect to time t is proportional to the rate of change with respect to the target physical state variable z at each time, and the proportional coefficient is And Exactly represents the comprehensive rate of change of the target physical state variable at time t. In fact, the solution of the above equation is a characteristic line, which leads to the continuous redistribution of the probability carried by each sample to different value ranges of the target state variable over time, and further leads to the change of the probability distribution density of each state variable (probability redistribution).

[0141] For a random system, it is possible that the probability of the system is dissipated at any time during the evolution process. For the problem of structural dynamic stability, once the stability criterion is met, the probability of the corresponding structural response will be dissipated. Therefore, the probability density evolution equation for a probability dissipation system is proposed:

[0143] In the equation, H is called the probability dissipation factor, which can be defined as:

[0144]

[0145] where S(t) is the structural failure criterion function; Ω S is the structural safety region; Ω D is the structural failure region; has

[0147]

[0148] The one-dimensional form of the above formula is:

[0149]

[0150] The initial condition is:

[0151]

[0152] The residual probability density function of the system response can be obtained by solving the probability density evolution equation of the dissipation system under the initial condition:

[0153]

[0154] The recently developed probability density evolution theory scientifically reflects the randomness propagation law of the structural system, realizes the decoupling of the physical state of the system, does not require solving high-dimensional probability density evolution equations, and provides a new way for the reliability research of complex structures. Based on this, the randomness of material properties and external loads is also investigated, and the related parameters describing the two are taken as basic random variables; by introducing the failure criterion of the railway concrete bridge structure, the probability density distribution equation set of the structural system after the probability dissipation is constructed and solved; finally, the overall reliability analysis method of the complex nonlinear structural system is established, and the overall reliability evolution law of the existing railway concrete bridge structure under the action of the earthquake is correctly grasped.
