[0016] Example 1
[0017] Please see the appendix Figure 1 This application provides a method for monitoring the connection performance of prefabricated steel structure beams and columns based on ultrasound, wherein the method specifically includes the following steps:
[0018] S1: Interact to obtain the steel structure design information of the target building, and model and restore the steel structure design information based on BIM technology to obtain the building steel structure model.
[0019] Specifically, this involves collecting steel structure design information for the building project, including design drawings, structural analysis reports, material specifications, and construction details. The collected design information is then imported into BIM software such as Autodesk Revit, Bentley Systems, and ArchiCAD. In the BIM software, a 3D model is created using the imported design information. This includes accurately drawing the location, dimensions, and relationships of steel beams, columns, nodes, and other structural elements. Relevant parameters, such as material properties, cross-sectional dimensions, and connection types, are assigned to each structural element. The BIM model can be continuously updated to reflect changes and adjustments during actual construction. Ideally, steel structure design drawings and specifications are obtained from the design team, and the CAD drawings are imported into Autodesk Revit as the base map. Steel beams and columns are created using Revit's structural framing tools, with the corresponding geometric dimensions and locations entered. Beam-column connection nodes are simulated using the structural connection tools, and appropriate connection types are selected. Material and cross-sectional properties are assigned to each element in the model. Revit's parametric capabilities are used to assign parameters to each structural element, such as steel grade and cross-sectional dimensions, and constraints are set, such as the rotational degrees of freedom of connection nodes. In Revit, compare the model with the original design drawings to check for accuracy, and use Revit's clash detection function to check for interference problems in the model.
[0020] S2: Based on the building steel structure model, extract the connection node parameters to obtain multiple node parameter sets for multiple beam-column connection nodes.
[0021] Specifically, this involves identifying all beam-column connection nodes in the BIM model. This is accomplished by analyzing the geometric relationships and connectivity of the structural frame within the model. For each identified node, relevant parameter information is extracted. These parameters include geometric parameters such as node location, connection angle, and cross-sectional dimensions; material properties such as yield strength, modulus of elasticity, and density of steel; connection type such as welding, bolting, hinged, or fixed connection; and stress state such as design load, bending moment, shear force, and axial force. The extracted parameters are then organized into a parameter set for each node.
[0022] S3: Introduce a node importance evaluation model to analyze the multiple node parameter sets, and based on the analysis results, divide the multiple beam-column connection nodes into a top node set, an intermediate node set, and a foundation node set, wherein the top node set includes M top connection nodes.
[0023] Specifically, the node importance assessment model evaluates the importance of each node based on its parameter set. This includes the node's stress conditions, such as maximum bending moment, shear force, and axial force; its geometric location, such as whether it is located at a frame corner, edge, or support point; its function in the structure, such as whether it is a node on the critical path of load transfer; and its redundancy, such as whether the structure can remain stable in the event of node failure. The established model analyzes the parameter set of each node and calculates its importance score. Based on the analysis results, nodes are divided into different sets: The top node set, which has the highest importance in the structure and bears the largest load or is most critical to structural stability. The top node set includes M top connection nodes. The intermediate node set, which has less importance than the top nodes but still performs important load transfer functions; and the basic node set, which has relatively low importance in the structure and includes nodes that have a smaller impact on the overall structural performance.
[0024] S4: Based on the building steel structure model, perform force transmission fitting, and assemble the top node set, intermediate node set and basic node set based on the fitting results to obtain M beam-column connection monitoring trees, wherein the M beam-column connection monitoring trees are tree-like monitoring structures constructed by taking the M top connection nodes as top events.
[0025] Specifically, structural analysis software is used to perform force transmission analysis on the building's steel structure model. This simulates the structure's response under load, determining the magnitude and direction of the force at each node. Based on the results of the force transmission analysis, a mathematical model is fitted to describe the force transmission process within the structure. This model is linear. The fitted model is used to identify the force transmission paths within the structure. These paths start from the load application point, pass through beam-column connection nodes, and finally reach the foundation. Based on the identified transmission paths, M beam-column connection monitoring trees are constructed. Each tree structure has a top connection node as its top event, containing all relevant nodes from which the force is transmitted downwards. These nodes are organized according to the magnitude of the force and the importance of the transmission path, forming a hierarchical structure. The top node set, intermediate node set, and foundation node set are assembled into the monitoring trees according to the force transmission paths. Each node in the top node set becomes a top event in a monitoring tree, and nodes in the intermediate and foundation node sets are assigned to the corresponding monitoring trees based on their position on the transmission path. The constructed monitoring tree is validated to ensure that each node is correctly placed in the appropriate position in the tree structure and that the magnitude and direction of the forces are correctly represented in the tree.
[0026] S5: Pre-built mechanical monitoring and early warning device and performance fault identifier.
[0027] Specifically, monitoring parameters include strain, displacement, acceleration, temperature, and crack width. Appropriate sensors are selected based on these parameters. For example, strain gauges are used to measure strain, accelerometers to measure vibration, and temperature sensors to monitor temperature changes. Sensors are installed at critical locations on the structure, particularly areas under high stress and previously identified top, intermediate, and foundation node sets. Warning thresholds are set for each monitoring parameter based on structural design specifications and safety standards. These thresholds should be able to distinguish between minor changes under normal operating conditions and significant changes that may indicate structural performance degradation. A mechanical monitoring and warning system is trained using neural networks and historical data. The warning system is tested and validated to ensure it can accurately identify warning signals in practical operation. Historical failure cases of similar structures are collected and compiled to establish a failure database. These failure cases should include descriptions, causes, effects, and solutions. Cases in the failure database are analyzed to identify common failure modes and their corresponding symptoms. Based on these failure modes, a performance failure identification model is trained, including pattern recognition and fault tree analysis. The failure identifier is also tested and validated to ensure it can accurately identify failures in practical applications.
[0028] S6: Based on the mechanical monitoring and early warning device, real-time performance monitoring is performed on the M top connection nodes. When a performance fault warning occurs at the M top connection nodes, the mechanical monitoring and early warning device generates an early warning signal and activates the performance fault identifier to locate the fault node using the M beam-column connection monitoring tree as the fault location guide, thereby obtaining the target performance fault node.
[0029] Specifically, the installed sensors and data acquisition system monitor the M top connection nodes in real time. The sensors collect data including strain, displacement, vibration, and temperature, reflecting the real-time state of the structure. This real-time data is input into a mechanical monitoring and early warning system, which generates an early warning signal. When an early warning signal is generated, a performance fault identifier is activated. The fault identifier uses the collected data and a historical fault database to analyze the current structural state. Utilizing the M beam-column connection monitoring tree as a guide for fault location, the fault identifier analyzes the data at each node to determine the specific location of the fault. The monitoring tree provides the path of force transmission, helping to identify the root cause of the fault and the affected area. By analyzing the monitoring data and the monitoring tree, the fault identifier locates the specific performance fault node.
[0030] Furthermore, this application also includes:
[0031] The node importance evaluation model includes an evaluation parameter calling layer, a node importance calculation layer, and a node level identification layer. It pre-sets an importance evaluation index set and adapts a text scheduling engine based on this set, synchronizing the text scheduling engine to the evaluation parameter calling layer. It pre-constructs a node importance evaluation function and synchronizes this function to the node importance calculation layer. Based on the building steel structure model, it identifies the properties of connection nodes to obtain H hinged nodes. It pre-sets top node judgment constraints and stores these constraints and the H hinged nodes in the node level identification layer, thus completing the construction of the node importance evaluation model.
[0032] Specifically, the importance evaluation index set includes the node's stress condition, geometric location, connection type, redundancy, etc. A text scheduling engine is used to manage and invoke evaluation parameters. Based on the preset importance evaluation index set, the text scheduling engine is adapted to enable it to retrieve and provide corresponding parameters as needed. The adapted text scheduling engine is synchronized to the evaluation parameter invocation layer, allowing for quick access and invocation of evaluation parameters when needed. A function for calculating node importance is constructed based on the evaluation indices. This function is a mathematical formula used to convert the evaluation indices into quantitative scores of node importance. The constructed evaluation function is synchronized to the node importance calculation layer, enabling it to receive parameters from the evaluation parameter invocation layer and output the node's importance score. Based on the building steel structure model, the properties of all connected nodes are identified, such as hinged nodes, fixed nodes, etc., with H hinged nodes specifically identified. Top node judgment constraints are based on the node's importance score; for example, the top 10% of nodes with the highest scores are defined as top nodes. The top node judgment constraints and the information of the identified H hinged nodes are stored in the node level identification layer.
[0033] Furthermore, this application also includes:
[0034] The node importance evaluation function is as follows: Where I is the node importance index, The proportion of nodal loads. The number of node load paths. Mean ratio of stiffness of adjacent connections For load-bearing capacity, For shear force, It represents the bending moment.
[0035] Specifically, the node importance index measures the significance of a node in a structure. It is composed of multiple evaluation indicators, including the node's stress state, location, and connection type. The node load ratio reflects the proportional relationship between the load borne by the node and the loads of the surrounding structure. A higher ratio generally indicates a higher node importance. The number of load paths through a node includes the number of load paths passing through it. If a node has multiple load paths passing through it, its importance is generally higher. The ratio of the stiffness of adjacent connections to the mean compares the stiffness of a node with that of its adjacent connections. If the stiffness of a node is significantly higher or lower than that of its surrounding nodes, this can have a significant impact on the overall performance of the structure. Bearing capacity directly considers the node's load-bearing capacity, i.e., the maximum load the node can withstand. Shear force focuses on the magnitude of the shear force borne by the node. Nodes with large shear forces are more prone to shear failure. Bending moment focuses on the magnitude of the bending moment borne by the node. Nodes with large bending moments are more prone to bending failure.
[0036] Furthermore, this application also includes:
[0037] The importance evaluation index set includes load ratio index, load path number index, connection stiffness ratio index, bearing capacity index, shear force index, and bending moment index.
[0038] Specifically, the load proportion index reflects the ratio between the load borne by a node and the total load of its structural portion. A higher load proportion borne by a node indicates a greater impact on structural performance, and therefore, its importance. The number of load paths index includes the number of load transfer paths passing through the node. If a node has multiple load paths, its impact on structural stability and function will be greater. The connection stiffness ratio index compares the stiffness of a node with its adjacent connections. Differences in stiffness between a node and its surrounding nodes can affect the load distribution and response of the structure. The bearing capacity index directly measures the bearing capacity of a node, i.e., the maximum load the node can withstand. The shear force index focuses on the magnitude of the shear force borne by the node. The bending moment index focuses on the magnitude of the bending moment borne by the node. Bending moment is an important parameter for measuring the degree of compression and bending of a node; nodes with large bending moments may be more prone to bending failure.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, this application also includes:
[0040] Based on the building steel structure model, adjacent connections of the multiple beam-column connection nodes are determined to obtain multiple sets of adjacent connection nodes. Based on the node composition of the multiple sets of adjacent connection nodes, the stiffness data of the multiple node parameter sets is retrieved to obtain multiple sets of adjacent node stiffness parameters. Adjacent connection stiffness ratios are calculated using the multiple beam-column connection nodes as the numerator and the multiple sets of adjacent node stiffness parameters as the denominator, resulting in multiple sets of adjacent stiffness ratios. The average of these multiple sets of adjacent stiffness ratios is calculated to obtain the average of multiple adjacent connection stiffness ratios, which is then mapped and updated to the multiple node parameter sets. Load parameters are retrieved based on the multiple node parameter sets to obtain multiple node load parameters. These multiple node load parameters are summed to obtain the total structural load. Based on the total structural load and the multiple node load parameters, the multiple node load proportions of the multiple beam-column connection nodes are calculated, and these multiple node load proportions are mapped and updated to the multiple node parameter sets.
[0041] Specifically, based on the building steel structure model, adjacent connections are determined for each beam-column connection node to identify the set of adjacent connected nodes for each node. These adjacent nodes are those directly connected to the target node. The adjacent connected node set for each node is traversed, and the stiffness parameters of these nodes are retrieved from the node parameter set. These parameters include the node's elastic modulus and moment of inertia. For each beam-column connection node, the adjacent connection stiffness ratio is calculated using its own stiffness as the numerator and the average stiffness of its adjacent nodes as the denominator. This ratio reflects the stiffness relationship between the node and its adjacent nodes. The average adjacent stiffness ratios for each node are averaged to obtain multiple average adjacent connection stiffness ratios. These averages reflect the stiffness characteristics of the node in the entire structure. The calculated average adjacent connection stiffness ratios are mapped and updated to the corresponding node parameter sets. Thus, the parameter set of each node contains the latest stiffness ratio information. The load parameters for each node are retrieved from the node parameter set; these parameters include the stress state of the node under design loads. The load parameters of all nodes are summed to obtain the total structural load. This represents the sum of the loads borne by the structure at all nodes. Based on the total structural load and the load parameters of each node, the load proportion for each node is calculated. This proportion reflects the importance of each node's load within the total structural load. The calculated load proportions for multiple nodes are then mapped and updated to the corresponding node parameter sets. In this way, each node's parameter set contains the latest load proportion information.
[0042] Furthermore, this application also includes:
[0043] The first node parameter set is synchronized to the node importance evaluation model. The evaluation parameter is invoked through the evaluation parameter invocation layer in the node importance evaluation model, and the evaluation parameter invocation result is calculated through the node importance calculation layer to obtain the first node importance index. The first node parameter set is any one of the plurality of node parameter sets. Similarly, the plurality of node parameter sets are synchronized to the node importance evaluation model. The evaluation parameter is invoked through the evaluation parameter invocation layer in the node importance evaluation model, and the evaluation parameter invocation result is calculated through the node importance calculation layer to obtain multiple node importance indices. In the node level identification layer, data is removed from the multiple node importance indices based on the H hinge nodes to obtain multiple updated importance indices, and the H hinge nodes are used as the basic node set. The multiple updated importance indices are traversed using a top node judgment constraint to obtain the top node set and the intermediate node set. The updated importance index of any beam-column connection node in the top node set is greater than the top node judgment constraint, and the updated importance index of any beam-column connection node in the intermediate node set is less than the top node judgment constraint.
[0044] Specifically, one node parameter set is selected from multiple node parameter sets and synchronized to the node importance evaluation model. The node importance evaluation model calls the evaluation parameters for that node through the evaluation parameter call layer. The evaluation parameter call result is calculated by the node importance calculation layer to obtain the first node importance index for that node. The remaining node parameter sets are then synchronized to the node importance evaluation model. Each node parameter set is processed through the evaluation parameter call layer and the node importance calculation layer to calculate the node importance index for each node. In the node level identification layer, data is removed from the node importance indices of all nodes based on H hinged nodes. The removal operation includes deleting data from nodes whose importance cannot be accurately assessed due to the characteristics of hinged nodes. After data removal, multiple updated importance indices are obtained. Using the H hinged nodes as the basic node set, all updated importance indices are traversed using the top node judgment constraint. The updated importance index of any beam-column connection node in the top node set is greater than the top node judgment constraint. The updated importance index of any beam-column connection node in the intermediate node set is less than the top node judgment constraint, thus determining the top node set and the intermediate node set.
[0045] Furthermore, step S4 of this application also includes:
[0046] The first top connection node is called from the M top connection nodes, and the remaining M-1 top connection nodes are marked as force transmission taboos in the building steel structure model. In the building steel structure model, the first top connection node is used as the starting point of force transmission to perform force transmission fitting and obtain the first associated transmission node set. The first associated transmission node set is used to traverse the basic node set to perform node identification, and the first associated transmission node set is divided based on the identification results to obtain the first basic node group and the first intermediate node group. The first top connection node is used as the top event, and the first basic node group and the first intermediate node group are connected step by step based on the force transmission relationship to perform tree monitoring structure construction and generate the first beam-column connection monitoring tree. Similarly, the M top connection nodes are used as top events to assemble the top node set, the intermediate node set and the basic node set to obtain the M beam-column connection monitoring trees.
[0047] Specifically, the first top connection node is selected from M top connection nodes. The remaining M-1 top connection nodes are marked as force transmission taboos in the building steel structure model, meaning these nodes will not be considered in subsequent force transmission processes. Using the selected first top connection node as the starting point for force transmission, force transmission fitting is performed in the building steel structure model. Force transmission fitting uses structural analysis software to simulate the structure's response under load, determining how forces are transmitted from top nodes to other nodes. Through force transmission fitting, the first associated transmission node set is obtained; these nodes transmit forces from top nodes to foundation nodes. The first associated transmission node set is used to traverse the foundation node set, identifying which nodes belong to the first foundation node group and which belong to the first intermediate node group based on the traversal results. Using the first top connection node as the top event, the first foundation node group and the first intermediate node group are connected level by level based on the force transmission relationship. A tree-like monitoring structure is constructed, generating the first beam-column connection monitoring tree. Iteratively, using the remaining M-1 top connection nodes as top events, the top node set, intermediate node set, and foundation node set are assembled. Each iteration builds a new beam-column connection monitoring tree until all M top connection nodes are used to build the monitoring tree.
[0048] Furthermore, this application also includes:
[0049] The system interacts with the multiple node parameter sets to obtain M sets of stress constraints, shear constraints, and axial force constraints for the M top-connected nodes, and constructs M performance comparison and early warning branches based on the M sets of stress constraints, shear constraints, and axial force constraints; it then connects the M performance comparison and early warning branches in parallel to obtain the mechanical monitoring and early warning device; it interactively obtains multiple sample fault image sets of various apparent performance faults, and constructs multiple apparent fault identification branches based on the multiple sample fault image sets; it interactively obtains multiple sample fault ultrasonic signal sets of various internal performance faults, and constructs multiple internal fault identification branches based on the multiple sample fault ultrasonic signal sets; it then connects the multiple apparent fault identification branches in parallel to obtain an apparent fault identification module, connects the multiple internal fault identification branches in parallel to obtain an internal fault identification module, and finally connects the apparent fault identification module and the internal fault identification module in parallel to complete the construction of the performance fault identifier.
[0050] Specifically, the system interactively acquires M sets of stress constraints, shear constraints, and axial force constraints for M top-connection nodes. These constraints are set based on structural design codes and safety standards and are used to define the normal operating range of the nodes. Based on the M sets of stress constraints, shear constraints, and axial force constraints, M performance comparison and early warning branches are constructed. Each branch corresponds to a top-connection node and is used to compare the relationship between the actual stress, shear force, and axial force of the node and the constraint values in real time. The M performance comparison and early warning branches are connected in parallel to form a mechanical monitoring and early warning device. The parallel early warning device can simultaneously monitor the performance of all top-connection nodes and issue an early warning signal when any node exceeds the constraint range. The system also interactively acquires multiple sample fault image sets for various apparent performance faults. These image sets contain known fault images and are used to train the fault identification model. Based on the multiple sample fault image sets, multiple apparent fault identification branches are constructed. Each branch corresponds to a type of apparent fault and is used to identify faults such as cracks and deformations on the structural surface. Finally, the system interactively acquires multiple sample fault ultrasonic signal sets for various internal performance faults. These signal sets contain known fault ultrasonic signals and are used to train the fault identification model. Based on the multiple sample fault ultrasonic signal sets, multiple internal fault identification branches are constructed. Each branch corresponds to a type of internal fault, used to identify internal structural faults such as cracks and corrosion. Multiple apparent fault identification branches are connected in parallel to form an apparent fault identification module, and multiple internal fault identification branches are connected in parallel to form an internal fault identification module. Connecting the apparent fault identification module and the internal fault identification module in parallel completes the construction of the performance fault identifier.
[0051] Furthermore, this application also includes:
[0052] Based on the mechanical monitoring and early warning device, a first performance comparison and early warning branch is initiated. This first performance comparison and early warning branch, among the M performance comparison and early warning branches, is used to perform targeted mechanical performance early warning judgments on the first top connection node. The first performance comparison and early warning branch includes a first stress constraint, a first shear force constraint, and a first axial force constraint. Real-time performance monitoring is performed on the first top connection node based on the first performance comparison and early warning branch. When the real-time stress of the first top connection node does not meet the first stress constraint and / or the real-time shear force does not meet the first shear force constraint and / or the real-time axial force does not meet the first axial force constraint, the mechanical monitoring and early warning device generates a first early warning signal. The first early warning signal is used to activate the performance fault identifier to perform apparent fault detection and identification and internal fault detection and identification on the first top connection node. If the performance fault identifier's fault detection and identification result for the first top connection node is empty, then the first beam-column connection monitoring tree is used as the fault location guide, and the fault node is located by traversing the first beam-column connection monitoring tree layer by layer to obtain the target performance fault node.
[0053] Specifically, based on the mechanical monitoring and early warning system, a first performance comparison and early warning branch is initiated. This branch is used for targeted monitoring of the mechanical properties of the first top connection node. Real-time performance monitoring is performed on the first top connection node, collecting real-time stress, shear force, and axial force data. When the real-time stress, shear force, or axial force of the first top connection node does not meet the constraints in the first performance comparison and early warning branch, the mechanical monitoring and early warning system generates a first early warning signal. This first early warning signal activates the performance fault identifier. The performance fault identifier performs apparent fault detection and identification as well as internal fault detection and identification on the first top connection node. If the fault detection and identification result for the first top connection node is empty, i.e., no fault is found, the next step is performed. Using the first beam-column connection monitoring tree as a fault location guide, the tree is traversed layer by layer. By traversing the monitoring tree, the specific fault node, i.e., the target performance fault node, can be located.
[0054] In summary, the ultrasound-based method for monitoring the connection performance of prefabricated steel structure beams and columns provided in this application has the following technical advantages:

The monitoring tree is a tree-like monitoring structure built with the M top connection nodes as top events. A mechanical monitoring and early warning device and a performance fault identifier are pre-built. Based on the mechanical monitoring and early warning device, real-time performance monitoring is performed on the M top connection nodes. When a performance fault warning occurs at one of the M top connection nodes, the mechanical monitoring and early warning device generates an early warning signal and activates the performance fault identifier to locate the fault node using the M beam-column connection monitoring tree as a fault location guide. This effectively solves the technical problem in existing technologies where the lack of effective information integration and modeling methods prevents differentiated monitoring of different nodes, leading to discrepancies between design information and actual construction, reducing efficiency, and further affecting structural safety. This improves the accuracy, real-time performance, and efficiency of beam-column connection node performance monitoring in prefabricated steel structure buildings.
