Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a concrete structure damage identification method, in particular to a concrete structure nondestructive detection damage identification method. Background Art

[0002] In the maintenance and management of engineering projects, non-destructive testing of large concrete structures is a very important technical means, which can detect and promptly warn of damage caused to the structure during operation. However, the current non-destructive testing technology has not yet been fully developed; acoustic emission technology has attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to its characteristics such as no need for transmitting transducers, overall detection, and suitability for dynamic monitoring, especially in environments that require long-term health observation.

[0003] At present, many projects try to use acoustic emission technology to detect internal damage of large concrete structures; however, due to the complexity of the internal destruction process of concrete, a large number of acoustic emission signals will be generated during its deterioration process. Excessive data volume will bring difficulties to data analysis. Although traditional parameter analysis methods such as amplitude and ringing count are simple and easy to implement, they are easily interfered and cannot accurately reflect the damage state of the structure; the frequency domain analysis method has strong anti-noise ability, but it also has the defect of poor consistency, which may cause deviations in the understanding of information and thus form wrong judgments.

[0004] In view of this, a method is needed that can effectively analyze nondestructive testing data for damage identification. Summary of the invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a method for nondestructive testing and damage identification of concrete structures, so as to effectively solve the problems raised by the inventor in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A nondestructive detection damage identification method for concrete structure comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Arrange monitoring points of the concrete structure, and select the monitoring points at the maximum load or the nodes prone to damage of the concrete structure; specifically: arrange vibration response measurement points on the upper surface of the concrete structure, arrange noise measurement points 20 cm away from the normal position of the vibration response measurement points, install accelerometers at each vibration response measurement to measure the normal acceleration, and install microphones at the noise measurement points to measure the overall noise;

[0009] Step 2: Adopt different monitoring methods for monitoring points, including active monitoring and passive monitoring;

[0010] Step 3: The active monitoring is to carry an acoustic emission probe and make the acoustic emission probe contact with the surface of the concrete structure to form acoustic emission data points, and cover the acoustic emission probe with a sound insulation device;

[0011] Step 4: Collect the signal emitted by the acoustic emission probe, use a computer to calculate and analyze to obtain the acoustic emission signal parameters, reorganize the data of the acoustic emission parameters, and screen out reliable acoustic emission signal parameters, wherein the acoustic emission signal parameters include rise time RT, ring count C, energy E, duration TD, amplitude PA, RA value, and center frequency FG;

[0012] Step 5: Analyze the linear correlation between different acoustic emission parameter data, and remove the parameter with the highest correlation. Repeat steps 1 to 3 so that the highest parameter is removed from the data of each repeated test process, leaving three parameters with the lowest correlation.

[0013] Step 6: Use the CFSFDP machine learning algorithm to perform cluster analysis on the data in step 4;

[0014] Step 7: Compare the cluster analysis results with the concrete damage characteristics;

[0015] Step 8: Using a 10-fold cross validation method, construct the data in step 4 into training samples, build a decision tree classification model, and input the training samples into the decision tree classification model for training;

[0016] Step 9: Conduct repeated experiments to verify the conclusions and avoid accidental results.

[0017] Preferably, the training of the decision tree classification model in step eight comprises the following steps:

[0018] Establish the root node of the model; calculate the information gain of the candidate parameters of the training sample, and mark the first attribute with the largest information gain as the new root node, where the information gain calculation formula is as follows:

[0019]

[0020]

[0021] I(P,Y)=H(P)-H(P|Y i );

[0022] In the above formula: H(P) is the information entropy, X is the damage type represented by the acoustic emission data, and p i is the frequency of the signal generated by the corresponding damage, H(P|Y i ) is the conditional entropy, Y i is the data feature i of the corresponding parameter of acoustic emission, p(y i) is the parameter y i Among the characteristics, the damage type p i The probability of occurrence, I(P, Y) is the information gain;

[0023] A new branch is generated at the new root node, and the branch is defined as a subset of the acoustic emission samples of the training sample set; so after the subtree is created, the final decision tree is used as the decision tree classification type.

[0024] Preferably, in step eight, the hyperparameters are further adjusted to optimize the decision tree classification model; based on the hyperparameters, a proxy model is constructed using the Bayesian optimization strategy, and the proxy model is used to predict indicators from the hyperparameter configuration, and the selection is repeated until a preset number of iterations is reached or a preset constraint value is exceeded, and finally the parameters are approached to the optimal value, thereby completing the optimization and parameter adjustment of the model; based on the decision tree classification model, the data to be classified is input into the model that completes the parameter adjustment, and through calculation, the classification model marks each acoustic emission data with a category label and outputs it to complete the classification of the data points. According to the characteristics of concrete structure damage, the damage type is divided into four types: matrix damage, aggregate damage, interface friction, and fiber fracture. According to the classification results corresponding to the damage type, damage pattern recognition is performed. When the sum of the signal ratios of aggregate damage and fiber fracture exceeds the sum of the signal ratios of matrix damage and interface friction, it is marked as potential severe damage, and the information is fed back to the external information center.

[0025] Preferably, the method in step five is: introducing orthogonal linear transformation, using principal component analysis algorithm to convert related multivariate data into linearly unrelated multivariate data; then using Laplace coefficients and related parameters to evaluate the informativeness and credibility of different characteristic parameters of each acoustic emission data point; thereby screening out reliable acoustic emission signal parameters.

[0026] Preferably, in step seven, the concrete damage types include fiber / aggregate fracture, fiber or aggregate pull-out, matrix shear fracture and matrix tensile fracture.

[0027] Preferably, in step 2, the passive monitoring method is: using a sliding smoothing method to eliminate trend items from the measured signal of the piezoelectric ceramic sensor; using an empirical mode decomposition method to reduce signal noise to obtain a near-baseline, noise-free preprocessed signal; extracting the free vibration response from the signal obtained in the above steps, and identifying the modal parameters of the free vibration data; finally, establishing a damage indication index to determine the occurrence of non-destructive damage or classify the degree of damage.

[0028] Preferably, in step eight, the optimization of hyperparameters adopts a Bayesian optimization method.

[0029] Preferably, the hyperparameters include: minimum leaf size, minimum number of leaf nodes, maximum number of splits and maximum number of branch nodes.

[0030] Preferably, the process of identifying the degree of structural damage in the passive monitoring is: selecting a signal transmitter to transmit a waveform signal, and identifying the degree of structural damage by the amplitude of the received signal piezoelectric ceramic sensor; if the amplitude of the received signal is smaller than the amplitude under non-destructive conditions, it is determined that there is damage in the monitored area; if the amplitude of the received signal is equal to the amplitude under non-destructive conditions, it is determined that there is no damage in the monitored area.

[0031] In view of this, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0032] (I) In the present application, an acoustic emission signal classification model based on machine learning is established in combination with a variety of characteristic parameters of acoustic emission signals to comprehensively ensure the extraction and classification of data information, and a non-destructive testing and damage analysis method based on a decision tree is proposed. A decision tree classification model can be established with high accuracy. The type of structural damage can also be mined from acoustic emission data, abnormal signals in the data can be identified, and it can be determined which signal is more likely to represent the failure of the structure.

[0033] (ii) In the present application, the electrical signals monitored by the piezoelectric ceramic sensor can be analyzed and processed to effectively identify the damage of the concrete structure, especially the crack damage, that is, it can accurately determine whether the damage has occurred, the location of the damage and the extent of the damage. By selecting the measuring points on the surface of the concrete structure and its vicinity, placing the normal acceleration measurement device and the noise collection device, the looseness detection technology can be realized non-destructively and non-contact, providing a new identification method for the safety assessment technology of mixed soil structures.
