Description
Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to a method for determining the installation timing of connecting trusses in super high-rise buildings based on a GBRT-LSTM hybrid model. By combining GBRT and LSTM models and TOPSIS and K-means++ algorithms, the installation timing of connecting trusses in super high-rise buildings can be quickly determined, which belongs to the field of construction technology. Background Technology
[0003] Supertall buildings are key to achieving high-quality urban development. They often employ a twin-tower structure with connecting trusses between the towers to meet the requirements of different functional zones. These connecting trusses integrate the individual towers of a multi-tower building, providing sufficient lateral stiffness. The timing of the connecting truss installation significantly impacts the overall performance of the building. Therefore, developing an effective method for rapidly determining the installation timing of connecting trusses in supertall buildings has significant engineering application value.
[0004] Current methods for determining truss installation timing primarily involve establishing finite element models to simulate structural deformation and internal forces under all installation conditions, thereby identifying the optimal installation time. However, these methods require extensive computation, making the determination of the optimal solution extremely time-consuming. Surrogate models, by replacing finite element simulation with data-driven predictions, can significantly improve computational efficiency. However, these methods typically focus only on local characteristics of the data and cannot effectively capture the spatiotemporal correlations of the data.
[0005] Furthermore, current methods for determining the timing of truss installation typically focus on a single indicator (such as deformation or stress) to determine the optimal installation time for connecting trusses. They do not consider a comprehensive evaluation of multiple structural indicators (such as maximum floor displacement, inter-story drift ratio, inter-story drift angle, and truss internal forces), and fail to adequately quantify the evaluation results. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a rapid method for determining the installation timing of connecting trusses in super high-rise buildings that can effectively capture the spatiotemporal correlation between data and comprehensively consider multiple indicators. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a method for determining the installation timing of connecting trusses in super high-rise buildings based on a GBRT-LSTM hybrid model, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of optimizing the installation timing of connecting trusses in super high-rise buildings. Its specific contents include:
[0007] A method for determining the installation timing of connecting trusses in super high-rise buildings based on a GBRT-LSTM hybrid model includes the following steps:

Based on these residuals, a new regression tree is constructed, dividing the input space into non-overlapping regions. And determine the optimal output value in each region. To reduce loss, the final spatial feature prediction result is obtained by adding the results of the previous iteration to the newly constructed decision tree. The sum of all regression tree outputs is calculated using the following formula:

[0022] B2. The LSTM model selectively controls the forgetting of historical information and the input of new information through three gating units: the forget gate, the input gate, and the output gate. This updates the cell state to capture long-term dependencies in the time series. The output gate generates the hidden state at the current time step based on the updated cell state and iteratively propagates it along the time steps, ultimately obtaining the predicted value of the time feature. , can be represented as:

[0032] Furthermore, step C specifically includes:
[0033] C1. The training set is input into the input layer of the GBRT-LSTM hybrid model for training. The input layer standardizes the original data and divides it into two types of sub-inputs: GBRT sub-input (single-time-step spatial feature vectors) and LSTM sub-input (multi-time-step sequence data).
[0034] C2. The two types of sub-inputs enter the two types of feature extraction layers respectively, and are then fused and optimized by the weighted fusion layer and the optimization layer, finally obtaining the complete structural response dataset in the output layer;
[0035] C3. Input the validation set into the trained GBRT-LSTM hybrid model for validation to obtain the final GBRT-LSTM hybrid model;

The input is the structural response of the construction conditions of the connecting truss part of the super high-rise building, and the output is the structural response of all construction conditions.
[0037] Furthermore, step D specifically includes:
[0038] D1. Entropy Weight Method (EWM) is based on the entropy value of data. Determine the weight of each spatial node , can be represented as:

[0044] D4. TOPSIS utilizes The weighted Euclidean distances to the positive and negative ideal solutions are calculated to achieve weighted aggregation of index dimension data, resulting in a comprehensive evaluation score for each construction condition. The construction condition with the highest comprehensive score is determined as the optimal installation time for the connecting truss of the super high-rise building.
[0045] Furthermore, step E specifically includes:
[0046] E1. Determine the optimal number of clusters using the elbow rule combined with the profile coefficient method. ;
[0047] E2. Use the K-means++ algorithm to randomly select a sample in the dataset as the initial center and iteratively distribute the sample, updating the cluster mean until the center moves less than 0.001 or the iteration exceeds 100 times;
[0048] E3. The category with the highest overall score at the cluster center is determined as the optimal installation time window for the connecting trusses of super high-rise buildings.
[0049] The working principle of this invention is as follows: It solves efficiency problems by combining sparse simulation with surrogate model prediction, and ensures reliability through multi-index decision-making. Sparse simulation is used to obtain structural response data for some operating conditions, reducing initial computation. A GBRT-LSTM hybrid model is then constructed, using the GBRT algorithm to capture spatial correlations and the LSTM algorithm's three-gating mechanism to capture time dependencies. Weighted fusion and parameter optimization form a high-precision surrogate model, replacing the finite element simulation prediction of unsimulated operating conditions and completing the sparse structural response dataset. Subsequently, EWM, AHP, and TOPSIS algorithms are combined to calculate the distance between each operating condition and the positive and negative ideal solutions, obtaining a comprehensive score based on multiple indicators to lock in the optimal node. Finally, the K-means++ algorithm is used to group operating conditions with similar scores into one category, and the category with the highest cluster center score is the optimal time window, ultimately achieving rapid and accurate determination of the installation timing.
[0050] The innovation of this invention is:
[0051] (1) Construct a GBRT-LSTM hybrid model to allow GBRT and LSTM to capture the spatial correlation and temporal dependence of data in parallel, and effectively capture the spatiotemporal correlation of data through weighted fusion and parameter optimization.
[0052] (2) A strategy of “sparse simulation + model prediction” is proposed, which only performs finite element simulation on some construction conditions and uses the trained GBRT-LSTM model to predict the response of unsimulated conditions, thereby reducing the amount of computation while ensuring data accuracy.
[0053] (3) The TOPSIS algorithm combines EWM and AHP to determine the optimal time node through multi-index quantification, and the K-means++ algorithm clusters the scores to obtain the time window, breaking through the limitation of relying on a single index.
[0054] The advantages of this invention are:
[0055] (1) The prediction error index of the GBRT-LSTM hybrid model is better than that of the LSTM model. It can more accurately predict the structural response of the unsimulated working conditions, and the prediction data is closer to the real finite element simulation results.
[0056] (2) The GBRT-LSTM hybrid model is used as a proxy model to replace finite element simulation with data-driven prediction, which significantly improves computational efficiency compared with the finite element simulation method.
[0057] (3) The TOPSIS and K-means++ algorithms quantify and evaluate different construction conditions and cluster the evaluation results to determine the optimal installation time node and window for the connecting truss, making the evaluation more comprehensive and reliable.
