Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of building technology, and particularly to a method for testing and detecting building structures. Background Art
[0002] On-site testing of building structures generally relies on the mechanical properties of structural materials. For reinforced concrete structures, it mainly focuses on the strength testing of concrete and steel bars in individual components. There is currently no effective, fast, and simple testing and evaluation method for the changes in structural performance after long-term use or damage caused by external factors. Based on the fact that the stiffness of a structural component is related to the material properties, geometric shape, boundary support conditions, and the form of external force acting on it, in an existing structure, the geometric shape remains fixed. If the form of external force remains unchanged, but the material properties and boundary support conditions of the component change, the stiffness of the component will also change accordingly. Furthermore, if the boundary support conditions remain unchanged and the material properties change, the stiffness of the component will also change.
[0003] However, a lot of equipment is required to measure the static stiffness of components on-site, and the operation is very difficult and the efficiency is extremely low, making it difficult to implement. The present invention uses the measurement of the dynamic stiffness of components to achieve the detection and evaluation of material properties and boundary support conditions. The excitation method is transient excitation, and the dynamic stiffness parameters, namely vibration velocity and resonance frequency, are obtained through the calculation and analysis of the vibration curve. At the same time, the curves in each frequency band of the obtained vibration curve can be used as the information source for analyzing structural components for different purposes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention discloses a method for testing and detecting building structures, aiming to solve the technical problems of difficult operation and low efficiency mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A method for testing and detecting building structures, including a rebound hammer, a vibration pickup, and a dynamic tester, specifically including the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: The test points are located in the middle of the structure. For the convenience of testing, for beam-like components, the excitation point and the vibration pickup are both located at the middle position at the bottom of the beam; for column-like components, the excitation point and the vibration pickup are both located at the longitudinal or transverse middle position.
[0008] Step 2: Place a tool steel pad with a hardness of HRC60±2 on the impact surface at the excitation point.
[0009] Step 3: For beam-like components, use a rebound hammer with a nominal energy of 2.207 J as the exciter and impact upward.
[0010] Step 4: For column-like components, according to the size of the component, use rebound hammers with nominal energies of 2.207 J, 4.500 J, 5.500 J, and 9.800 J as exciters and impact horizontally.
[0011] Step Five: Use a velocimeter for the vibration pick-up. When using an accelerometer, numerical integration should be performed. The sampling interval is taken as 200 μS to 500 μS, and the cut-off frequency is taken as 120 Hz.
[0012] Step Six: Take the maximum value of the velocity curve as the vibration amplitude, perform Fourier spectrum analysis on the velocity curve, and the frequency corresponding to the extreme value is the resonance frequency.
[0013] Step Seven: Perform wavelet transform on the velocity curve, select the wavelet basis bior5.5, and the number of decomposition levels of wavelet is 6.
[0014] Step Eight: Determine the normal service performance of the structure by comparing the vibration amplitudes, resonance frequencies, and waveforms in each two-frequency band shown by wavelet packet decomposition between structural members under the same boundary conditions, different times of the same member, or before and after damage caused by external factors.
[0015] In a preferred solution, it also includes obtaining building structure data; the building structure data includes several component images, and each component image includes a component; feature extraction is performed on the component images to obtain the feature information of the components; according to the feature information, the information set of each component is determined through an expert system, and the information set includes the features of the component and the corresponding component type of the component, and the health score of the building structure is determined through the expert system.
[0016] In a preferred solution, the building structure also includes appearance quality inspection. The appearance quality of the load-bearing components of the building is inspected to understand component defects. During the appearance quality inspection process, key inspections need to be carried out according to the disaster areas understood during the engineering investigation, and their surface quality, structural stress, and node connection damage are inspected and icon-drawn; the influence on the interior of building components during the disaster occurrence process is inferred. For the component cross-section inspection of the building structure: the cross-section dimensions of the components are sampled and measured, a steel bar position detector is used to sample and detect the steel bar configuration of reinforced concrete columns, beams, and slabs, and some positions are chiseled and verified. During the inspection of beams and columns, the core sampling method is used to take core samples of building structure components and perform compressive strength tests in the natural drying state; according to the detection results of the building structure degree in each interval range and their average values, they are compared with the design strength grade, and the bearing capacity of the building structure is checked in combination with the detection results to determine whether it meets the original design requirements.
[0017] As can be seen from the above, a building structure test and detection method includes a rebound hammer, a vibration pick-up, and a dynamic tester, and specifically includes the following steps:
[0018] Step 1: The test points are located in the middle of the structure. For the convenience of testing, for beam members, the excitation points and the pick-up sensors are both located at the middle position of the bottom of the beam. For column members, the excitation points and the pick-up sensors are both located at the middle position longitudinally or transversely.
[0019] Step 2: Place a tool steel pad with a hardness of HRC60±2 on the impact surface at the excitation point.
[0020] Step 3: For beam members, use a rebound hammer with a nominal energy of 2.207 J as the exciter and impact upward.
[0021] Step 4: For column members, according to the size of the member, use rebound hammers with nominal energies of 2.207 J, 4.500 J, 5.500 J, and 9.800 J as exciters and impact horizontally.
[0022] Step 5: Use a velocimeter as the pick-up sensor. When using an accelerometer, numerical integration should be performed. The sampling interval is taken as 200 μS to 500 μS, and the cut-off frequency is taken as 120 Hz.
[0023] Step 6: Take the maximum value of the velocity curve as the vibration amplitude, perform Fourier spectrum analysis on the velocity curve, and the frequency corresponding to the extreme value is the resonance frequency.
[0024] Step 7: Perform wavelet transform on the velocity curve, select the wavelet basis bior5.5, and the number of decomposition levels of wavelet decomposition is 6 layers.
[0025] Step 8: Determine the normal service performance of the structure by comparing the vibration amplitudes, resonance frequencies, and waveforms in each two-frequency band shown by wavelet packet decomposition between structural members with the same boundary conditions, at different times of the same member, or before and after damage caused by external factors. The building structure test and detection method provided by the present invention has the following advantages:
[0026] Adopt the test of the dynamic stiffness of the test member to realize the detection and evaluation of the material properties and boundary support conditions. The excitation method is transient excitation. The dynamic stiffness parameters, that is, the vibration velocity and resonance frequency, are obtained through the calculation and analysis of the vibration curve. At the same time, the curves of each frequency band of the obtained vibration curve can be used as the information source for analyzing the structural member for different purposes.
[0027] The on-site operation of the present invention is simple, and it can quickly detect all the main beam and column components of the building structure. When excited with the same nominal energy, the dynamic stiffness of the structural component is negatively correlated with the vibration amplitude and positively correlated with the square of the resonance frequency. Under the same geometric shape and the same boundary support, the greater the dynamic stiffness, the worse the structural performance. When the quality of the beams on both sides of the column is qualified, but the dynamic stiffness is less than the normal value, it can be determined that there is a defect in the connection between the column and the beam, which cannot be quickly detected by the existing detection methods. For the damage caused by fire or other external factors during the normal service life of the building structure, the damage situation can be evaluated by comparing the decrease in the dynamic stiffness of the structural components before and after the damage or with the same boundary conditions of the undamaged structure components, and the effect after the structural reinforcement can be evaluated by the dynamic stiffness. After the completion of the construction project, the present invention is used to quickly detect all the main beam and column components of the structure and archive them as the original data curve. When it reaches the normal service life, the present invention is used to quickly detect all the main beam and column components of the structure again. After comparison, it provides a basis for determining whether it can continue to be used. After a large number of detections with the present invention, a database is formed. After statistics, it provides a criterion for judging whether the quality of the structural components is qualified. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
