[0002] Composite slab girder bridges typically utilize I-beam cross-section steel beams, resulting in significant vertical temperature gradients. Under solar radiation, periodically varying temperature fatigue stresses occur at key details. Under the coupled cyclic action of temperature loads and vehicle loads, the cumulative fatigue damage at these details significantly increases. Since the temperature effects encompass the cyclical effects of diurnal and seasonal temperature variations, a temperature gradient fatigue load spectrum can be used to characterize various periodic temperature fatigue effects. This study delves into the temperature effects and structural behavior of composite steel plate girders in natural environments, constructing a temperature gradient fatigue load spectrum suitable for composite slab girder bridges with a design service life of up to 200 years. Summary of the Invention

G1,2 The value range is [5.5, 7.4], and the unit is ℃ (T). Gi,jN represents the representative temperature value at the j-th typical height in the i-th vertical temperature sub-gradient. d For the design service life, T G1,j P(T) represents the temperature at the j-th typical height in the first vertical temperature sub-gradient.

[0007] A method for constructing the vertical temperature gradient fatigue load spectrum of a composite slab girder bridge includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Collect temperature data for the composite slab girder bridge

[0009] m temperature measuring points are arranged inside the concrete slab, steel top slab, bottom slab, and web of the composite slab girder bridge. Temperature values ​​are collected at regular intervals at each measuring point to obtain the measured temperature gradient time history curves at each location. The measured temperature gradient time history curves are then extended to the design service life N using a long short-term memory recurrent neural network algorithm. d Temperature history at typical locations is obtained, yielding the daily temperature maxima at each measuring point for each day within the design service life. A daily temperature extreme value matrix Q = [M1, M2, ..., M] is then constructed for the design service life. t ,…,M Nd×365 ], M t Let be the vector of daily temperature maxima at each measuring point on day t;

[0010] Step 2: Preprocess the daily temperature extreme value matrix Q for the design service life using a noisy density clustering algorithm.

[0011] Define the initial parameters of the density clustering algorithm, namely the minimum number of points MP and the neighborhood radius r. e In the daily temperature extreme value matrix Q for the design service life, each vector is selected as a high-dimensional coordinate point A. The Euclidean distance between other vectors and this high-dimensional coordinate point A is calculated, and the Euclidean distance is ≤ the neighborhood radius r. e The vector is classified into the neighborhood of the high-dimensional coordinate point A, resulting in N. d ×365 neighborhoods are selected, and neighborhoods containing vectors ≥ minimum number of points MP are selected. Each selected neighborhood is taken as a temporary cluster family T. The high-dimensional coordinate point A of each temporary cluster family T is taken as the core point of the cluster family. All temporary cluster families T constitute a temporary cluster family set R.

[0012] Step 3: Merge temporary clusters to obtain formal clusters:

[0013] Step 3.1: Randomly select a temporary cluster T from the temporary cluster set R. Then, sequentially query other temporary clusters and remove any other temporary clusters whose core points are located in this temporary cluster T from the temporary cluster set R and merge them into this temporary cluster, thus obtaining the formal cluster T. / ;

[0014] Step 3.2: Repeat step 3.1 until all temporary clusters in the temporary cluster set R are taken, resulting in S formal clusters T. / ;

[0015] Step 4: Determine the temperature gradient fatigue load spectrum of the concrete box girder bridge.

[0016] Each formal cluster T / The vertical temperature subgradient T Gi (y), each formal cluster family T / The middle sample points and S formal clusters T / The ratio of all sample points is the probability P(T) of each sub-gradient occurring within the design service life. Gi Thus, the temperature fatigue load spectrum of the concrete box girder bridge was obtained.

[0017] Preferably, in step 2, the minimum number of points MP ≤ 25 and the neighborhood radius r e The value ranges from 2.5 to 7.5.

[0018] Preferably, the Euclidean distance is obtained according to the following formula;

[0020] In the formula, d e Euclidean distance. For t A Date y k The maximum temperature at location y k Let t be the location of the kth typical measuring point. A t represents the date of the temporary cluster family, and t represents the date of the extreme daily temperature vectors other than the cluster center.

[0021] Preferably, the arrangement method of the m measuring points in step 1 is as follows: a measuring point is arranged on the bottom plate of the composite slab beam bridge, and with this measuring point as the origin of the coordinate system, measuring points are arranged on the web and top plate along the vertical height direction, for a total of m = 9 measuring points. The positions of the measuring points are expressed as the vertical distances from the lower surface of the bottom plate of the composite slab beam bridge as 0.00m, H-0.96m, H-0.51m, H-0.36m, H-0.26m, H-0.21m, H-0.20m, H-0.12m, and H, where H is the height of the composite steel plate beam.

[0022] Preferably, the time interval between the temperature values ​​of each measuring point in step 1 is 60 to 1200 seconds.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
