All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment

[0020] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a bionic design method for optimizing the seismic performance of building structures, including the following steps: Step 1, first, collect biological samples with seismic resistance, and then conduct in-depth research on the body structures of the organisms and their performances during earthquakes. Select organisms with excellent seismic resistance as bionic objects. Through the observation and analysis of various organisms, it is possible to discover the unique seismic structures and mechanisms formed through long-term natural selection and evolution; The complex fractal structure of the mangrove roots can effectively disperse seismic energy, and the flexibility and elasticity of the tree trunks help buffer seismic impact forces; Step 2, through mathematical modeling and mechanical analysis, establish corresponding mechanical models based on the analysis results of biological structures, convert the key seismic characteristics of the selected biological structures into quantitative design parameters, analyze the seismic mechanical principles and energy dissipation mechanisms of the investigated biological structures, express the complex characteristics of biological structures in precise mathematical and mechanical ways, provide operable parameters for actual building design, and use the theories and methods of mathematics and mechanics to simulate and analyze the mechanical behaviors of biological structures, so as to clearly understand the internal mechanism of the seismic resistance of biological structures and convert it into specific indicators that can be used in building design; Step 3, apply the mechanical characteristics and design principles of biological structures to the design of building structures. Use building design software to construct a preliminary building structure model. When constructing the building structure model, integrate intelligent bionic materials at key nodes, repair seismic damage through microcapsule repair agents and microbial mineralization mechanisms, realize dynamic stiffness adjustment and energy dissipation, enable the building structure to have bionic seismic characteristics at the initial design stage, enhance its self-repair and adjustment capabilities through the application of intelligent materials, draw on the advantages of biological structures, improve the overall performance of the building structure, initially form a building structure model with good seismic potential, and at the same time, the integration of intelligent materials can repair damage in time after an earthquake and maintain the stability of the structure; Step 4: Use the finite element analysis method to conduct numerical simulation analysis on the bionic-designed building structure under earthquake action, and conduct multi-dimensional evaluation on the seismic performance of the initial model, including the evaluation of the displacement, acceleration, internal force and energy dissipation of the structure. Then, adjust and improve the design according to the analysis and evaluation results, pre-evaluate the seismic performance of the building structure in the computer simulation environment, discover potential problems and deficiencies. Based on the finite element method, accurately calculate and analyze the response of the structure under earthquake action. Through multiple simulations and adjustments, gradually optimize the design scheme and improve the seismic reliability of the building structure; Step 5: Repeat the analysis and improvement process in Step 4, conduct physical model tests on the improved design scheme to verify its seismic performance under actual earthquake action, and finally optimize the design according to the test results to finally form the seismic design scheme of the building structure for the project. Use 3D printing technology to produce a 1:20 to 1:50 scale model, and the scaling ratio of the material effective modulus is 1:√(λ), where λ is the scaling ratio. Then conduct a loading test, and finally conduct a performance acceptance. The loading test includes small earthquake, medium earthquake and large earthquake loading tests. The acceptance criteria for performance acceptance are that the residual deformation after the large earthquake ≤ 2%, and the self-healing system triggering rate ≥ 90%. During the physical model test, the stress distribution and damage development inside the structure should be monitored synchronously. Use acoustic emission technology and fiber Bragg grating sensors to verify the effectiveness and reliability of the design scheme through actual tests, obtain the most real structural response data, load the physical model according to the characteristics of actual earthquake action, simulate the real earthquake situation, and be able to obtain the most direct and accurate structural seismic performance data.

[0021] In Step 1, the biological samples include: fractal tree-like structure organisms, lightweight and high-strength organisms, and dynamic adaptive organisms; The fractal tree-like structure organisms include mangrove roots and tree branches. Through a branch network with a fractal dimension of 1.2 to 1.8, simulate multi-level force transmission paths to avoid stress concentration; The lightweight and high-strength organisms include bamboo and shells. Utilize the gradient fiber distribution of bamboo joints, with a specific strength ≥ 100 MPa·cm³ / g, to balance stiffness and toughness; The dynamic adaptive organisms include bird joints and plant geotropic tissues. Imitate the friction-slip mechanism of joints, with a response time ≤ 0.5 s, to achieve rapid structural response.

[0022] The screening of biological prototypes gives the seismic design a logical basis for natural evolution and optimization; The fractal structure improves the earthquake energy dispersion efficiency by 20% - 40% and reduces the risk of local damage.

[0023] In Step 2, the design parameters are quantified. The number of branch levels n of the fractal structure is 3 - 5 levels, the branch angle θ is 15° - 60°, forming a multi-level energy dissipation path to extend the transmission time of seismic waves. The node spacing of the bamboo joint structure is 1 / 8 - 1 / 5 of the column height, and the laying angle of the fiber-reinforced composite material is 45° - 90°. The crack propagation is suppressed by the staggered distribution of fibers. The thickness ratio of the rigid layer to the flexible layer of the shell laminate is 2:1 - 5:1, and the interlayer bite depth is 1 - 3 mm. The layer is enhanced by the synergistic effect of the rigid layer for compression and the flexible layer for shear resistance.

[0024] In Step 4, the loading conditions for the finite element analysis include the type of seismic wave, the input peak acceleration, and the evaluation index. Type of seismic wave: EL-Centro wave, Taft, and synthetic wave. Evaluation index - input peak acceleration: 0.1g - 1.2g. Evaluation index: interlayer displacement angle ≤ 1 / 200, reduction rate of base shear force ≥ 30%.

[0025] To ensure that the structure has good seismic performance and energy dissipation capacity.

[0026] The loading test includes the following specific steps: Minor earthquake loading test: Input the seismic wave with a peak acceleration of 0.1g, record the seismic response data of the structure, and require the interlayer displacement angle ≤ 1 / 500 and no visible cracks. Moderate earthquake loading test: Input the seismic wave with the peak acceleration increased to 0.4g, evaluate the performance of the structure under moderate earthquake, and require the interlayer displacement angle ≤ 1 / 200 and the crack width ≤ 0.2 mm. Major earthquake loading test: Input the peak acceleration of 0.8g.

[0027] The acceptance criteria for performance acceptance are that the residual deformation after major earthquake ≤ 2% and the self-repair system trigger rate ≥ 90%.

[0028] Ensure that the structure still has recoverability and the value of continued use after experiencing a strong earthquake.

[0029] In Step 5, during the physical model test, the stress distribution and damage development inside the structure should be monitored synchronously, using acoustic emission technology and high-precision fiber Bragg grating sensors. Acoustic emission technology can capture in real time the energy signals released due to the generation and expansion of microcracks inside the structure, thus timely detecting potential damaged parts. The fiber Bragg grating sensor, with its high precision and strong anti-interference ability, accurately measures the stress changes inside the structure, providing accurate data support for evaluating the seismic performance of the structure. Through these monitoring means, the true response of the structure under seismic action can be deeply understood, providing a reliable basis for the optimization and improvement of the design.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
