Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aqueduct tensioning technology, specifically a method and system for controlling the prestressed multi-bundle coordinated tensioning of a U-shaped aqueduct. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of U-shaped prestressed aqueducts, prestressing tensioning is the core process to ensure the structural bearing capacity and crack resistance. Due to the complex interaction between longitudinal straight tendons and U-shaped steel tendons, traditional methods relying on experience or static models to preset the tensioning sequence cannot quantify the coupling effect of multiple tendons. That is, the tensioning of one tendon will significantly change the stress state and structural deformation of other tensioned or untensioned tendons. Although the tensioning sequence can be preset by establishing a static finite element model or BIM model, this method, while considering the initial state of the structure to some extent, has two inherent defects: the preset tensioning sequence cannot adapt to the dynamic factors such as the time-varying properties of concrete and environmental temperature changes during construction, and the model is out of sync with the actual working conditions on site; the real-time collected monitoring data such as stress and displacement during construction are only used for simple threshold alarms and fail to drive and dynamically optimize tensioning control parameters (such as tension force and sequence), resulting in a disconnect between the "monitoring" and "control" links, and the prestress distribution ultimately deviates from the theoretical expectation. To address this, a multi-tenon coordinated tensioning control method and system for U-shaped aqueducts is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for controlling the prestressed multi-bundle coordinated tensioning of U-shaped aqueducts, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for controlling the prestressed multi-bundle coordinated tensioning of a U-shaped aqueduct, the method comprising: S1. Construct a quantitative model, based on the mechanical equilibrium equation of the aqueduct structure, introduce the prestress coupling effect term for calculation, output the prestress coupling matrix, and derive the initial tensioning sequence. S2. Perform construction according to the obtained initial tensioning sequence, and collect stress / displacement data in real time through the on-site monitoring system; S3. Input the real-time collected stress / displacement data into the edge computing terminal, and output the control strategy after processing. It also drives the tensioning device to perform adjustments, while simultaneously optimizing the parameters of the quantitative estimation model; S4. Repeat S3 until the actual state of the current tensioning stage meets the predetermined dual-index convergence condition.

[0005] As a further aspect of the present invention: the initial tensioning sequence specifically includes: The objective function is established based on the structural mechanics equilibrium equations, and it satisfies the following expression:

[0006] Where S0 is the initial tensioning sequence. Let be the actual stress of the i-th steel strand. Let the target stress of the i-th steel strand be , The maximum value of the absolute values ​​of the displacement deviations of all critical nodes. This is the displacement weighting coefficient, and its value ranges from 0.2 to 0.5.

[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the prestressed coupling effect matrix is ​​calculated based on the following formula:

[0008] Where u and v are positive integers, representing different prestressed steel strands, respectively. Indicates the prestressing coupling coefficient. This represents the concrete stress generated by the u-th prestressed steel strand. This represents the tension force applied to the vth prestressed steel strand.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: a control strategy based on stress and displacement is used to calculate the tension force increment in real time through the following control equation:

[0010] In the formula, where, Let k be the stiffness coefficient of the steel strand. , This is the gain coefficient, and its value ranges from 0.5 to 1.2. Let be the distance from node j to the pivot.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the dynamic adjustment of the gain coefficient with the age of the concrete specifically includes: In the early stage of concrete Showing an increasing trend It shows a decreasing trend; During the concrete strength stabilization stage Showing a decreasing trend It shows an increasing trend; The cycle of a single adjustment is ≤2 seconds, so as to achieve real-time dynamic response to the tensioning process.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the actual state during the tensioning stage satisfies the predetermined dual-index convergence condition as follows: ,

[0013] In the formula, For stress, This represents the displacement value.

[0014] A prestressed multi-bundle coordinated tensioning control system for a U-shaped aqueduct includes: The monitoring system is configured to monitor concrete stress / strain and displacement of key nodes in real time. The tensioning control module is used to perform the tensioning operation; An edge computing terminal is configured to calculate the initial tensioning sequence and the tension force increment; The monitoring system and the tensioning control module are both communicatively connected to the edge computing terminal, forming a closed-loop control system.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: the monitoring system uses fiber optic grating sensors as its core, which are deployed at the U-shaped bottom, side walls, and beam top of the aqueduct structure to form a composite monitoring network, and the monitoring accuracy of the fiber optic grating sensors is [missing information]. The data acquisition frequency is no less than 1Hz, and the deployment spacing is 2m. It is equipped with a laser displacement meter with an accuracy of 0.01 mm to monitor the displacement data of key nodes.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: the tension control module has a tension force control accuracy of ±0.5%FS, and the data processing delay of the edge computing terminal is no greater than 100ms.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This application derives the initial tensioning sequence by establishing a mechanical equilibrium equation and introducing a coupling effect term. Simultaneously, it combines the stress / displacement deviation data collected in real time by the monitoring system with the data feedback to the edge computing terminal to calculate and control the strategy in real time. The tensioning device then executes the adjustment, thereby constructing a closed-loop optimization mechanism for on-site data. This mechanism can dynamically correct the tension force and sequence, thus overcoming the limitations of static models. Furthermore, displacement constraint terms are introduced during the optimization process as penalty or control conditions, effectively preventing deformation of key structural components from exceeding limits and significantly improving the accuracy, safety, and intelligence level of prestressed construction.

With a range of 0.1m, it can collect stress, strain, and temperature data of the aqueduct structure during the tensioning construction process.

All data collected by the sensors are uploaded to the data fusion center in real time, and after preprocessing, they are output to the edge computing terminal to provide necessary parameters for the control strategy.
