Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method and system for calculating the reliability of steel-concrete composite beams after a fire, belonging to the field of structural fire safety and intelligent assessment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Steel-concrete composite beams are widely used in highway bridges, urban elevated roads, factory floors, and super high-rise structural systems due to their high strength, high stiffness, and excellent synergistic performance. In service environments, fire is one of the most destructive sudden loads. Fire causes a rapid temperature rise in steel beams, significantly reducing their elastic modulus and yield strength; the concrete interior experiences spalling and cracking due to dehydration, increased pore pressure, and concentrated thermal stress; and the interface welds and stud areas become zones of temperature gradient and shear concentration. These factors combined result in significant stiffness degradation and residual deformation in steel-concrete composite beams after a fire. If they are put back into service without proper evaluation, they are highly susceptible to secondary structural instability or brittle failure.
[0003] Current post-fire structural safety assessments mainly rely on: (1) the standard empirical method: calculating the residual bearing capacity based on the "temperature-strength reduction factor" specified in the standard. This method is simple but only applicable to standard components, and cannot consider complex structural boundaries, local spalling and non-uniform temperature distribution. The assessment results are conservative and have low accuracy; (2) the numerical simulation method: obtaining the residual stress and deformation distribution after the fire through thermo-mechanical coupled finite element analysis, which can reflect the structural behavior more realistically. However, the calculation process is complex, has many parameters, and takes a long time, making it difficult to meet the needs of emergency decision-making; (3) the detection regression method: estimating the bearing capacity by combining on-site detection data and empirical regression formulas. It lacks a unified model and probability theory basis, and the results are highly discrete and lack reliability significance.
[0004] With the development of artificial intelligence and deep learning, surrogate models have become an important direction for rapid prediction of structural performance. However, existing research mainly focuses on components at room temperature or with single materials, and research on intelligent reliability assessment of steel-concrete composite structures after fire is still in its early stages. Addressing the combined effects of coupled material degradation, spatial randomness, and multiple failure modes after fire, there is an urgent need to propose a unified assessment method and system that integrates physical mechanisms, probabilistic reasoning, and intelligent prediction capabilities to achieve quantitative, automated, and real-time determination of the reliability of composite beams after fire. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The total bending moment balance of the structure is obtained by summing the contributions of steel members, concrete members, and interface shear moments.
[0029] The theoretical value of the residual bearing capacity is obtained by calculating the product of the preset bending reduction factor, the effective section residual yield strength, and the effective plastic modulus of the section; the actual residual bearing capacity, maximum interface slip, and residual deflection are obtained by running the nonlinear structural solver.
[0030] Furthermore, constructing the limit state function of the composite beam includes: constructing a function in the form of bearing capacity-demand difference or an empirical power function to represent the limit state of the composite beam.
[0031] Furthermore, the calculation of failure probability and reliability index using the first-order reliability method includes:
[0032] The first-order reliability method is used to solve for the design point in the standard normal space, and Monte Carlo importance sampling is performed in the neighborhood of the design point to obtain the failure probability.
[0033] The relationship between reliability index and failure probability is established using the standard normal distribution function, thus obtaining the reliability index.
[0034] Furthermore, constructing a deep learning agent model includes:

[0036] The training objective function is constructed by calculating the mean square error between the reliability index and the predicted reliability index, and combining it with a regularization term.
[0037] Furthermore, structural safety is classified and engineering treatment recommendations are automatically generated, resulting in an assessment report including:
[0038] The reliability prediction index is judged based on the preset safety classification rules. When the reliability prediction index is greater than or equal to the preset threshold P1, the structure is judged to be safe. When the reliability prediction index is between the preset threshold P1 and the preset threshold P2, it is judged to be used under limited load and monitoring or local reinforcement is recommended. When the reliability prediction index is less than the preset threshold P3, reinforcement or replacement is recommended.
[0039] It automatically generates reports including temperature field, material degradation curve, reliability-failure probability scatter plot, parameter sensitivity ranking, and graded load limit recommendations, and simultaneously generates machine-readable output.
