Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of durability assessment technology for steel-concrete composite beam bridge structures, specifically to a method and system for calculating the deterioration process of welded stud connectors in composite beam bridges. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the steel structure industry and the promotion of related policies, steel-concrete composite beam bridges have been widely used due to their many advantages. However, during long-term service, the problem of deterioration in the negative bending moment zone has become increasingly prominent.

[0003] Unlike traditional reinforced concrete (RC) beam bridges, steel-concrete composite beam bridges are prone to steel-concrete interface delamination and bridge deck cracking. Chloride ions can easily penetrate through gaps and cracks, leading to corrosion of welded stud connectors in the negative bending moment zone. Corrosion of these connectors reduces the steel-concrete connection strength, thereby weakening the bending stiffness of the composite beam and severely impacting the structural performance and lifespan. The stiffness in the negative bending moment zone of a steel-concrete composite beam bridge is determined by the moments of the concrete slab and steel web about the neutral axis. Cracks in the bridge deck cannot penetrate the beam structure; damage is concentrated at the connection between the bridge deck and the steel-concrete layer, ultimately resulting in the loss of the steel-concrete composite effect and a significant decrease in bending stiffness. Therefore, accurate assessment and prediction of the stiffness in the negative bending moment zone are urgently needed.

[0004] However, under the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue, steel-concrete composite beam bridges experience coordinated degradation of multiple key load-bearing components, including concrete panel cracking and decreased steel-concrete connection strength. The degradation mechanism is complex, making traditional methods for calculating the post-deterioration stiffness of reinforced concrete (RC) beam bridges inapplicable. Existing research indicates that the failure mode of welded stud shear connectors is concrete shear-compression cracking → increased displacement → connector deformation (failure), which is completely different from the failure mechanism of tensile reinforcement in RC beam bridges. Furthermore, domestic and international standards lack calculation methods for the durability of key load-bearing components in steel-concrete composite beam bridges under the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue, and there is a lack of computational models that can accurately describe the time-varying degradation process of welded stud connectors. This makes it difficult to meet the practical engineering needs for long-term stiffness assessment and prediction of composite beams. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for calculating the deterioration process of welded stud connectors in composite beam bridges. This aims to solve the technical problem that the existing technology lacks a time-varying model calculation method for welded stud connector deterioration that considers the coupling effect of environmental corrosion and vehicle load, which cannot accurately describe the entire process of welded stud connectors from corrosion initiation to failure, thus affecting the durability and safety assessment of steel-concrete composite beam bridges.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a method for calculating the deterioration process of welded stud connectors in composite beam bridges. The method includes: An experimental setup was constructed, and a concrete specimen with welded stud connectors was placed inside the setup. A tomographic scan was performed on the concrete specimen to obtain the deterioration process of the setup. Based on the corrosion initiation stage, corrosion propagation stage, and rust expansion cracking stage of weld stud connectors, a degradation model of weld stud connectors is constructed. The degradation model is then applied to the experimental setup to update the parameter calibration of the experimental setup. Based on the deterioration stage of the welded stud connector, the failure degree of the concrete specimen is monitored to determine the failure time of the welded stud connector.

[0007] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, in the step of constructing the experimental apparatus, placing a concrete specimen with welded stud connectors inside the experimental apparatus, and performing a tomographic scanning test on the concrete specimen to obtain the deterioration process of the experimental apparatus: The experimental apparatus includes at least a sodium chloride solution, a copper sheet, a DC regulated power supply, and a steel beam. A concrete specimen with welded studs is placed between the sodium chloride solution and the steel beam. The copper sheet is placed inside the sodium chloride solution. The concrete specimen has initial cracks. The two poles of the DC regulated power supply are connected to the copper sheet and the steel beam, respectively. The sodium chloride solution penetrates into the concrete specimen through the initial cracks.

[0008] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, in the step of performing a tomographic scanning test on the concrete specimen to obtain the deterioration process of the experimental device: The concrete specimens were subjected to omnidirectional scanning using an X-ray emitter, X-ray detector, rotating stage, and low-density support to obtain the corrosion status of the welded stud joints at different times, the crack propagation morphology of the concrete specimens, and the steel-concrete bond condition.

[0009] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the steps for constructing a degradation model of the weld stud connector based on the corrosion generation stage, corrosion propagation stage, and rust expansion cracking stage are as follows: Based on the stages of corrosion formation, the thickness of the concrete overburden, the chloride ion diffusion rate, and the width and depth of fatigue cracks were selected as key parameters to establish a chloride ion penetration and diffusion sub-model:

[0010] in, The time of initial rust formation. The thickness of the concrete cover layer. This represents the chloride ion diffusion rate. The width of the fatigue crack. This represents the fatigue crack depth. , , , The coefficients of fit for the experiment; Based on the corrosion propagation stages, a pitting corrosion diffusion sub-model was established, selecting weld stud size and concrete water-cement ratio as key parameters. Based on Faraday's law, the mapping relationship between the current flowing per unit area in the weld stud joint and the corrosion rate was derived, and the corrosion rate was calculated at any given time. Pitting depth:

[0011] in, For a moment The pitting depth, The corrosion current efficiency coefficient is... The corrosion current density per unit area, The density of rust, It is Faraday's constant; Based on the stages of rust expansion and cracking, and using crack width as the control index, the model parameters were calibrated based on X-ray tomography test results, and a crack growth sub-model was constructed to show the crack width changing over time.

[0012] in, For a moment The width of the crack, The initial crack width, , calibrate the parameters for the model; Statistical analysis was performed on the deterioration model composed of the chloride ion penetration diffusion sub-model, the pitting corrosion diffusion sub-model, and the crack growth sub-model. Based on the results of accelerated corrosion and X-ray tomography tests, the random distribution parameters in the three stages were updated and calibrated to determine the random probability distribution type and parameters of each parameter. The random distribution parameters include at least the chloride ion diffusion rate, corrosion current density, and model fitting coefficient.

[0013] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the step of monitoring the failure degree of the concrete specimen and determining the failure time of the welded stud connector based on the deterioration stage of the welded stud connector includes: Based on the stages of corrosion formation and the characteristics of initial cracks caused by fatigue loading, the upper boundary of the time for the corrosion formation stages is determined as the initial corrosion formation time. The first lower boundary is the moment when the pitting depth reaches the preset depth. ; The pitting growth rate was calculated based on the stages of rust propagation, and the fatigue crack propagation rate was calculated based on the Paris formula:

[0014] in, This represents the fatigue crack propagation rate. , For material constants, K is the stress intensity factor amplitude, representing the moment when the pitting depth reaches the critical value for crack nucleation. This is the lower boundary of the second time.

[0015] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, based on the rust expansion cracking stage, when the width of the concrete crack reaches the critical value for steel-concrete bond failure, the failure time boundary of the steel-concrete bond is determined as the first lower time boundary. When the weld stud connector deteriorates and fails, the failure time boundary is determined as the second lower time boundary. ,Pick and The smaller value is used to determine the final failure time of the weld stud connector.

[0016] This invention also proposes a calculation system for the deterioration process of welded stud connectors in composite beam bridges. This system is used to implement the aforementioned calculation method for the deterioration process of welded stud connectors in composite beam bridges. The system includes: The degradation scanning module is used to build an experimental device, place a concrete specimen with welded stud connectors into the experimental device, perform a tomographic scanning test on the concrete specimen, and obtain the degradation process of the experimental device. The model building module is used to build a deterioration model of the weld stud connector based on the corrosion generation stage, corrosion propagation stage, and rust expansion cracking stage, and to apply the deterioration model to the experimental device to update the parameter calibration of the experimental device. The failure monitoring module is used to monitor the degree of failure of concrete specimens based on the deterioration stage of the weld stud connectors and determine the failure time of the weld stud connectors.

[0017] The present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method for calculating the deterioration process of weld stud connectors in composite beam bridges.

[0018] The present invention also proposes an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and running on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the above-described method for calculating the deterioration process of weld stud connectors in composite beam bridges.

[0019] In summary, the method for calculating the degradation process of welded stud connectors in composite beam bridges provided by this invention, through a combination of accelerated corrosion testing and X-ray tomography, systematically elucidates for the first time the complete degradation mechanism of welded stud connectors under corrosion-fatigue coupling, providing solid experimental support for model construction and solving the problem of unclear degradation mechanisms in existing studies. Furthermore, the entire corrosion degradation process of welded studs is divided into three stages, and targeted numerical models are established for each stage, achieving accurate simulation of the time-varying processes of corrosion initiation, propagation, and rust expansion cracking, overcoming the deficiency of traditional models in not being able to subdivide degradation stages. Simultaneously, a three-stage failure model considering corrosion-fatigue coupling is constructed, combining the EIFS model and the Paris formula, to accurately describe the entire life-cycle time-varying degradation process of welded stud connectors from corrosion initiation to final failure, solving the problem of large calculation deviations caused by neglecting coupling effects in existing methods. The calculation method of this invention can be directly applied to the durability assessment of welded stud connections in the negative bending moment zone of steel-concrete composite beam bridges, providing core parameters for the prediction of long-term stiffness of composite beams, thereby improving the durability and reliability of steel-concrete composite beam bridges, and has broad engineering application prospects.

[0025] Example 1 like Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a method for calculating the deterioration process of weld stud connectors in a composite beam bridge according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The method for calculating the deterioration process of weld stud connectors in a composite beam bridge includes the following steps S01-S03, wherein: S01. Set up an experimental device, place a concrete specimen with welded stud connectors into the experimental device, and perform a tomographic scanning test on the concrete specimen to obtain the deterioration process of the experimental device. S02. Based on the corrosion generation stage, corrosion propagation stage, and rust expansion cracking stage of the weld stud connector, a degradation model of the weld stud connector is constructed, and the degradation model is applied to the experimental device to update the parameter calibration of the experimental device. S03. Based on the deterioration stage of the welded stud connector, monitor the failure degree of the concrete specimen and determine the failure time of the welded stud connector.

[0026] An electrochemical accelerated corrosion test method was used to construct an experimental setup (such as...). Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a sodium chloride solution, a copper sheet, a DC regulated power supply, and a steel beam. The copper sheet is placed in the sodium chloride solution. A concrete specimen with welded studs is placed between the sodium chloride solution and the steel beam. The concrete specimen has initial cracks. The two poles of the DC regulated power supply are connected to the copper sheet and the steel beam, respectively. The sodium chloride solution permeates into the concrete specimen through the initial cracks.

[0027] Experimental variables were set, including initial crack parameters (width, depth), chloride ion concentration, concrete overburden thickness, and weld stud size. A stable current was applied via a DC regulated power supply to simulate the corrosion process of the weld stud connectors in the service environment. Simultaneous X-ray tomography (XCT) tests were conducted. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the specimen was scanned from all directions using an X-ray emitter, X-ray detector, rotating stage and low-density support. The corrosion state of the weld studs (rust location, rust area, pitting depth), the expansion morphology of concrete cracks (crack width, length, expansion direction) and the bond condition of steel-concrete (degree of delamination of the bond surface, range of delamination) were quantitatively observed at different times during the test. Finally, the complete deterioration mechanism of weld stud joints under corrosion-fatigue coupling, from pitting rust, rust diffusion, crack formation to steel-concrete connection failure, was explored, providing an experimental basis for subsequent model construction.

[0028] The entire process of corrosion and deterioration of welded stud connectors is divided into three stages: corrosion generation, corrosion propagation, and corrosion expansion and cracking. Numerical models for each stage are established based on corrosion propagation theory.

[0029] Based on the stages of corrosion formation, the thickness of the concrete overburden, the chloride ion diffusion rate, and the width and depth of fatigue cracks were selected as key parameters to establish a chloride ion penetration and diffusion sub-model to simulate the time-varying process of corrosion initiation in the connectors:

[0030] in, The time of initial rust formation. The thickness of the concrete cover layer. This represents the chloride ion diffusion rate. The width of the fatigue crack. This represents the fatigue crack depth. , , , The coefficients are the experimental fit coefficients.

[0031] Based on the corrosion propagation stages, a pitting corrosion diffusion sub-model is established to simulate the time-varying process of corrosion propagation from the initial location to the surrounding area and the growth of pitting pits. Weld stud size and concrete water-cement ratio are selected as key parameters. Assuming the initial corrosion location is the weak area at the weld stud-concrete interface, the mapping relationship between the current flowing per unit area in the weld stud connector and the corrosion rate is derived based on Faraday's law. The model is then used to calculate the corrosion rate at any given time. Pitting depth:

[0032] in, For a moment The pitting depth, The corrosion current efficiency coefficient is... The corrosion current density per unit area, The density of rust, is Faraday's constant.

[0033] Based on the stages of rust expansion and cracking, and using crack width as the control index, the model parameters were calibrated based on X-ray tomography test results. A crack growth sub-model was constructed to simulate the time-varying process of crack formation and propagation in concrete due to rust expansion.

[0034] Where ω(t) is the crack width at time t, ω0 is the initial crack width, and m and n are model calibration parameters; Statistical analysis was performed on the deterioration model composed of the chloride ion penetration diffusion sub-model, the pitting corrosion diffusion sub-model, and the crack growth sub-model. Based on the results of accelerated corrosion and X-ray tomography tests, the random distribution parameters in the three stages were updated and calibrated to determine the random probability distribution type and parameters of each parameter. The random distribution parameters include at least the chloride ion diffusion rate, corrosion current density, and model fitting coefficient.

[0035] Combining the degradation model, the EIFS model (Equivalent Initial Defect Size Model), and the Paris formula, the degradation and failure process of weld stud connectors under corrosion-fatigue coupling is divided into three stages: corrosion initiation and pit formation, pit growth and fatigue crack propagation rate competition, and weld stud cross-section degradation failure or steel-concrete connection failure.

[0036] In the stages of corrosion initiation and pitting formation, based on the rust formation stage and the characteristics of initial cracks caused by fatigue loading, the upper boundary of the rust formation stage is determined as the initial rust formation time. The first lower boundary is the moment when the pitting depth reaches the preset depth. .

[0037] In the competition between pitting growth and fatigue crack propagation rate, after pitting forms, stress concentration occurs at its root, inducing fatigue crack generation and propagation in weld studs. The pitting growth rate is calculated based on the corrosion propagation stages, and the fatigue crack propagation rate is calculated based on the Paris formula.

[0038] in, This represents the fatigue crack propagation rate. , For material constants, K is the stress intensity factor amplitude, representing the moment when the pitting depth reaches the critical value for crack nucleation. This is the lower boundary of the second time.

[0039] During the stage of weld stud cross-section deterioration failure or steel-concrete joint failure, when the width of the concrete crack reaches the critical value for steel-concrete joint failure... The time (usually 0.3~0.5mm according to specifications) is used to determine the failure time boundary of the steel-concrete connection as the lower boundary of the first time. Simultaneously, based on the EIFS model to simulate the fatigue crack propagation process, and combined with the specification regarding the crack width of weld stud failure (usually 10% of the weld stud diameter) in the standard, the failure time boundary was determined as the second lower time boundary. ,Pick and The smaller value is used to determine the final failure time of the weld stud connector.

[0040] Furthermore, taking the welded stud connector in the negative bending moment zone of a steel-concrete composite beam bridge for a highway as the research object, the welded stud diameter is 16mm and the length is 80mm, the concrete strength grade is C50, the water-cement ratio is 0.45, the concrete overburden thickness is 30mm, the initial crack width is 0.1mm and the depth is 5mm, the chloride ion concentration in the service environment is 0.05mol / L, and the fatigue load stress amplitude is 100MPa. The time-varying process of the deterioration of the welded stud connector and the final failure time are calculated using the method of this invention. The specific steps are as follows: Concrete specimens with initial cracks (150mm×150mm×300mm) were prepared. Welded stud connectors were embedded in the center of the specimens to ensure reliable connection between the studs and the steel beams. An electrochemical accelerated corrosion test apparatus was constructed, in which the specimens were immersed in a 5% sodium chloride solution. Copper sheets were used as auxiliary electrodes, and the welded studs were used as working electrodes. A constant current of 0.5mA / cm² was applied through a DC regulated power supply. X-ray tomography was performed on the specimens every 7 days to obtain quantitative data on the corrosion state of the welded studs, the crack propagation morphology of the concrete, and the bond condition between the steel and concrete. The test lasted for 60 days to explore the degradation mechanism.

[0041] Rust formation stage: Based on experimental data fitting, a linear relationship between the initial rust formation time and key parameters was obtained. Substituting these parameters, the following calculations were performed. The corrosion propagation stage was 14.3 days. The formula for calculating pitting depth was derived based on Faraday's law, taking k=0.85 and ρ=5.2 g / cm³. 3 F = 96500 C / mol, calculated at any time Pitting depth Rust expansion and cracking stage: Based on experimental data, the crack growth model parameters m=0.12 and n=0.08 were calibrated, and the crack width variation over time was expressed as follows: Statistical analysis was used to determine that the chloride ion diffusion rate follows a log-normal distribution (mean 1.2 × 10⁻⁶). - ¹²m² / s, coefficient of variation 0.3), corrosion current density follows a normal distribution (mean 0.5mA / cm², coefficient of variation 0.2).

[0042] During the stages of corrosion initiation and pitting formation, It is 14.3. It took 21.5 days (the pitting depth reached 10 μm); In the competition stage between pitting growth and fatigue crack propagation rate, taking the critical value for pitting crack nucleation δc = 1.0 mm, the following calculations were performed. =39.7 days; Paris formula parameter C=6.5×10 12. Given m=3.2, calculate the fatigue crack propagation rate; During the stage of weld stud cross-section deterioration failure or steel-concrete joint failure, the critical crack width for steel-concrete joint failure is... =0.3mm, calculated as follows =52.8 days; the critical crack width for weld stud failure is 1.6 mm, calculated as follows: =48.3 days; the final expiration time is 48.3 days.

[0043] In summary, the method for calculating the degradation process of welded stud connectors in composite beam bridges provided by this invention, through a combination of accelerated corrosion testing and X-ray tomography, systematically elucidates for the first time the complete degradation mechanism of welded stud connectors under corrosion-fatigue coupling, providing solid experimental support for model construction and solving the problem of unclear degradation mechanisms in existing studies. Furthermore, the entire corrosion degradation process of welded studs is divided into three stages, and targeted numerical models are established for each stage, achieving accurate simulation of the time-varying processes of corrosion initiation, propagation, and rust expansion cracking, overcoming the deficiency of traditional models in not being able to subdivide degradation stages. Simultaneously, a three-stage failure model considering corrosion-fatigue coupling is constructed, combining the EIFS model and the Paris formula, to accurately describe the entire life-cycle time-varying degradation process of welded stud connectors from corrosion initiation to final failure, solving the problem of large calculation deviations caused by neglecting coupling effects in existing methods. The calculation method of this invention can be directly applied to the durability assessment of welded stud connections in the negative bending moment zone of steel-concrete composite beam bridges, providing core parameters for the prediction of long-term stiffness of composite beams, thereby improving the durability and reliability of steel-concrete composite beam bridges, and has broad engineering application prospects.
