Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent design of bridge structures, specifically a human-machine collaborative intelligent modeling and optimization method for mid-span steel arch bridges. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional bridge design, engineers must repeatedly adjust structural schemes and conduct trial calculations based on bridge construction conditions and requirements, combined with their own experience and knowledge, and bridge design rules, in order to obtain a better design. However, the traditional model inevitably leads to a large amount of modeling work. Every time an engineer adjusts the bridge structural layout, the overall structural layout, cross-sectional settings, and load arrangements in the model must be rebuilt, resulting in a long design cycle. Moreover, the structural optimization results often rely on the engineer's personal experience, making it difficult to balance safety, economy, and advanced technology. This contradiction is even more pronounced in the design of large bridges such as arch bridges. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose intelligent design technologies based on parametric and intelligent methods.
[0003] Currently, domestic and international research has made some progress in parametric modeling, but it generally still suffers from problems such as applicability only to specific cross-sectional components and simple structural forms, incomplete models, and reliance on specific software. Preliminary explorations have been made in intelligent optimization of bridge structures, but these are generally still focused on specific bridge structural forms under simple loads, and their adaptability to optimizing similar bridges remains insufficient.

[0052] 3.4) Establish a pseudo-objective function F based on the external penalty method, and use the pseudo-objective function F as the objective function of the structural parameter optimization model of the mid-span steel arch bridge;
[0053] The pseudo-objective function F is shown below:
[0054] (3)
[0055] In the formula, j represents the constraint number under the ultimate limit state and the constraint number under the serviceability limit state; j = 1, 2, 3, ..., m; m represents the total number of constraints under the ultimate limit state and the constraint number under the serviceability limit state; C j This is the penalty function for the j-th constraint. It is set to 0 when the constraint is not violated, and to a predetermined penalty value when the constraint is violated.
[0056] Furthermore, the constraint mathematical model under the ultimate limit state of bearing capacity includes: constraint that the flexural bearing capacity of the section does not exceed the limit of the flexural bearing capacity of the section, and constraint that the shear bearing capacity of the section does not exceed the limit of the shear bearing capacity of the section;
[0057] The flexural bearing capacity of the section shall not exceed the limit constraint shown below:
[0058] (4)
[0059] In the formula, M is the flexural capacity of the section, M lim This refers to the limit value of the flexural bearing capacity of the cross section;

If it does, automatically update it to the minimum flange thickness that meets the limit constraint of the width-to-thickness ratio of the flange of the steel structure member. If not, do not change the flange thickness.
[0081] b) Determine the web height of the arch rib section based on the arch rib section height and flange thickness, and determine whether the web height-to-thickness ratio of the steel structure member exceeds the limit. If so, automatically update it to the minimum web thickness that satisfies the constraint that the web height-to-thickness ratio of the steel structure member does not exceed the limit. If not, do not change the web thickness.
[0082] c) The adjustment sequence for the arch rib sections is from the arch crown section to the arch bottom section;
[0083] When the flange thickness of the section near the bottom of the arch is less than the flange thickness of the section near the top of the arch, the flange thickness is automatically updated to the flange thickness of the section near the top of the arch.
[0084] When the web thickness of the section near the bottom of the arch is less than the web thickness of the section near the top of the arch, the web thickness of the section is automatically updated to the web thickness of the section near the top of the arch.

If it does, automatically update it to the minimum flange thickness that meets the limit constraint of the width-to-thickness ratio of the steel structure member flange. If not, do not change the flange thickness.
[0087] II) Determine the web height of the steel beam section based on the steel beam section height and flange thickness, and determine whether the web height-to-thickness ratio of the steel structure member exceeds the limit. If so, automatically update it to the minimum web thickness that satisfies the constraint that the web height-to-thickness ratio of the steel structure member does not exceed the limit. If not, do not change the web thickness.

[0105] Step 2) involves establishing an intelligent design model for a mid-span steel arch bridge structure based on human-machine collaboration.
[0106] 2.1) Use the layer analysis algorithm to read the key component information in the initial condition drawing; the layer analysis algorithm can obtain relevant curve information by marking layers in CAD and then reading DXF files (e.g., reading in Python). For example, a straight line is the coordinate of its two endpoints.
[0107] The key component information includes the elevation coordinates of the arch crown and arch seat of the arch axis centerline, the plane coordinates of the inner side lines of the support and arch rib, the top elevation information of the bridge deck, and the coordinate information of the web of the steel longitudinal beam in the cross-sectional diagram of the steel-concrete composite bridge deck system.

For composite beams, since they are double-layer beam units, the steel beam units are divided with a length not exceeding the cross-sectional height of the steel beam. The length of the bridge deck unit is the same as the length of the steel beam unit.
