[0019] First embodiment: Please refer to Figure 1 , wherein Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the digital-twin-based fabricated bridge intelligent construction management method.
[0020] The application provides a digital-twin-based fabricated bridge intelligent construction management method, comprising the following steps: S1: constructing a digital twin of a fabricated bridge, the digital twin integrating a first physical model for simulating mechanical properties of a component node, a second physical model for simulating time-varying effects of a concrete structure, and a third physical model for simulating structural dynamic responses in a construction process.
[0021] Specifically, the first physical model is a finite element model considering the bond-slip effect between the steel bar and the grouting material.
[0022] The analysis of the third physical model is based on a bending-torsional coupling vibration control equation derived by an energy method.
[0023] In the present embodiment, the construction of the digital twin is based on a unified BIM modeling platform, and a three-dimensional visual model containing full-factor information is formed by importing the component geometric information, material attribute parameters and construction process requirements of the fabricated bridge. The first physical model is realized by using the Midas-FEA finite element analysis module, and the nonlinear spring element between the steel bar surface and the grouting material is defined to accurately simulate the bond-slip behavior of the two in the stress process; the second physical model is based on the shrinkage and creep theory of concrete, and uses the age-adjusted effective modulus method to calculate the structural deformation and internal force redistribution under the time-varying effect by inputting parameters such as environmental temperature and humidity and concrete mix proportion; the third physical model is realized by programming in MATLAB, and the bending-torsional coupling vibration control equation derived by the energy method is converted into an eigenvalue solving problem, which can quickly calculate the vibration characteristics of the curved steel beam at different stages of pushing. The physical models interact with the BIM platform through the API interface, realizing the unified management of model parameters and the real-time visualization of calculation results.
[0024] S2: Based on the digital twin, at least one key process of pile hole forming, component assembly and large component jacking is simulated in the construction process, the construction disturbance, node stress and vibration response are predicted, and the optimized construction control parameters are output.
[0025] Specifically, S21: simulate the ground disturbance under different hole forming processes, and optimize the process scheme with hole forming accuracy and controlled settlement as the target; S22: simulate the stress conduction and damage evolution of nodes in the assembly and stress process, and verify the connection reliability; S23: simulate the dynamic behavior of large components in progressive installation, identify critical states and avoid resonance risk.
[0026] In simulating the dynamic behavior of large components in progressive installation: It includes analyzing the out-of-plane vibration modes of large components dominated by vertical displacement and dominated by torsional angle.
[0027] In this embodiment, for pile hole forming process simulation, a pile-soil interaction model is established by Plaxis 3D software to simulate the ground displacement field changes under different processes such as full casing static pressure, rotary drilling composite hole expansion, etc. Combined with the displacement monitoring data of adjacent structures, the key parameters such as casing pressure rate and mud specific gravity are dynamically optimized; for component assembly process simulation, a refined finite element model of grouting sleeve connection is established based on the ABAQUS platform, the interface behavior of steel and grouting material is simulated by setting contact properties, the stress distribution characteristics of the sleeve area under different load conditions are analyzed, and the optimal grouting pressure and pressure holding time are output; in large component jacking simulation, using the MATLAB calculation module developed independently, based on the real-time updated structure boundary conditions, the bending-torsional coupled vibration equation is solved, two typical out-of-plane vibration modes dominated by vertical displacement and dominated by torsional angle are identified, and the key factors affecting vibration characteristics are determined through parameter sensitivity analysis; all simulation results are transmitted to the digital twin platform in real time through the data interface, and compared with the preset safety threshold dynamically, when the predicted settlement, stress peak or vibration amplitude exceeds the limit value, the system automatically generates an optimization report containing process parameter adjustment suggestions.
[0028] S3: Real-time acquisition of component pose data, node connection process data and structure response data through deployed sensors, and transmission of data to the digital twin to start the physical model for calculation.
[0029] In the present embodiment, high-precision reflecting prisms are installed on the prefabricated components, and automatic tracking measurement is performed by a robotic total station instrument. The three-dimensional coordinates of the components during hoisting are collected at a frequency of 1 time per second to form a real-time pose data stream. Piezoelectric stress sensors and distributed optical fiber sensors are pre-embedded at the grouting sleeve connection parts to monitor the pressure changes during grouting and the stress development during the curing stage at a sampling frequency of 10 times per second. Three-axis acceleration sensors are arranged at key cross sections of the steel box girder to collect vibration signals during jacking at a sampling rate of 1000 Hz per second. In the pile foundation construction area, inclination sensors and pore water pressure gauges are arranged to monitor the verticality of the pile body and the stratum response in real time during hole forming. All sensors transmit real-time data to the cloud digital twin platform through the 5G industrial gateway deployed on site. After receiving the data, the platform first performs data preprocessing, including outlier rejection, noise filtering, and data standardization. Then, the processed data are input into the corresponding physical models for real-time calculation and analysis.
[0030] S4: Comparing the calculation results of the physical models with the preset threshold values, and generating adjustment instructions for the connection process, installation speed, or hole forming parameters when the predicted performance indicators deviate.
[0031] Specifically, S41: Comparing the node stress calculated by the first physical model with the allowable stress; S42: Comparing the vibration frequency and amplitude calculated by the third physical model with the safety threshold; S43: Based on the comparison results, dynamically generating adjustment instructions for the grouting pressure, jacking speed, or hole forming process.
[0032] In the present embodiment, the node stress calculated by the first physical model is compared with the allowable stress of the material in real time. When the maximum stress in the sleeve connection area exceeds 85% of the yield strength of the reinforcing steel, the grouting process adjustment program is triggered. At the same time, the system compares the vibration main frequency and amplitude calculated by the third physical model with the preset safety threshold, respectively. When the vibration main frequency is close to 0.8-1.2 times the natural frequency of the structure and the amplitude exceeds 80% of the limit value, the jacking speed optimization program is started. The system uses a fuzzy PID control algorithm to dynamically generate optimal adjustment instructions by considering multiple factors such as the current construction stage, environmental conditions, and equipment status. For the grouting process, the system automatically adjusts the grouting pressure in the range of 2.5-3.0 MPa based on the stress distribution characteristics, and the pressure stabilization time is controlled in the range of 30-45 minutes. For jacking construction, the jacking speed is dynamically adjusted in the range of 0.5-1.0 m / min based on the vibration characteristic analysis results. For pile foundation hole forming, the optimal hole forming process is automatically selected based on the stratum response data, and the drilling parameters are adjusted. All adjustment instructions are transmitted in real time to the control systems of the corresponding grouting equipment, jacking equipment, and pile foundation construction equipment through the industrial Internet of Things platform, and the instruction execution status is displayed synchronously on the digital twin platform.
[0033] S5: execute the adjustment instruction to control the field device, and collect the effect data after the instruction execution, which is used to iteratively update the physical model parameters in the digital twin.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the adjustment instruction is issued, the system adjusts the output pressure of the grouting device, the speed of the hydraulic system of the jacking device, and the drilling parameters of the pile foundation device in real time through the device controller. During the execution of the instruction, the system continuously collects the real-time pressure curve during grouting, the actual running speed curve of the jacking device, and the verticality change data of the pile foundation hole forming, forming a complete instruction execution effect data set; at the same time, the system collects the structural response data after the instruction execution through the deployed sensor network, including the stress relaxation data of the sleeve connection area, the vibration frequency spectrum change data of the steel box girder, and the stress redistribution data of the soil around the pile foundation. These data are used for parameter calibration of the physical model after preprocessing: for the first physical model, the bond-slip constitutive parameters between the reinforcement and the grouting material are inversed according to the measured stress-slip relationship curve; for the second physical model, the shrinkage and creep model parameters of the concrete are corrected by using the back analysis method based on the long-term monitored creep deformation data; for the third physical model, the stiffness coefficient and the damping coefficient in the bending-torsional coupled vibration control equation are optimized according to the difference between the measured vibration mode and the calculated mode; the model update uses an incremental learning algorithm, which only adjusts the parameters with significant deviations locally each time to ensure the continuity and stability of the model; the updated physical model will be used for prediction and control of the next round of construction process, forming a continuously optimized closed-loop management system.
[0035] The intelligent construction management method for fabricated bridge based on digital twinning can timely find quality deviations and safety hazards in the construction process through dynamic comparison based on real-time data acquisition and physical model calculation, automatically generate optimization instructions, and realize closed-loop control; it has continuous optimization learning ability, iteratively updates the physical model parameters by collecting feedback data after instruction execution and using an incremental learning algorithm, so that the system has self-improvement ability; it improves the accuracy of construction quality control, provides monitoring and control means for key process links such as grouting sleeve connection, prestressed box girder stability, and curved steel beam jacking vibration; it realizes whole-process traceability of the construction process, establishes a complete digital construction archive by correlatively storing the whole-process data from construction simulation to closed-loop control, and finally builds a complete intelligent construction management system, which realizes transparent management, intelligent decision-making, and dynamic control of the construction process through the deep integration of digital twinning technology and the construction site.
