[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of construction engineering, and specifically relates to a BIM-based building structure seismic performance evaluation system and method. Background Art

[0002] As the construction industry's requirements for safety and reliability continue to increase, BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based building structure seismic performance assessment systems and methods have gradually become a research hotspot. Although various existing assessment methods have achieved good results in certain application scenarios, they still have some shortcomings that affect the accuracy and efficiency of the assessment.

[0003] After searching, a displacement-based method for evaluating the seismic performance of masonry structures was found with publication number CN110674595B, with a publication date of April 7, 2023. This patent determines the seismic performance of masonry structures by calculating the maximum interlayer elastoplastic displacement capacity of masonry structures and the yield displacement requirements of weak structural layers under different categories of seismic measures. However, this technical solution is mainly aimed at masonry structures, and the evaluation method for complex building structures (such as steel structures, concrete structures, etc.) is not comprehensive enough and has a limited scope of application. In addition, this method relies on a large amount of manual calculation and analysis, and the degree of automation is not high, making it difficult to achieve fast and efficient evaluation.

[0036] Explanation of the accompanying symbols: 1. BIM-based building structure seismic performance assessment system; 2. Processor; 3. Memory. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0037] The present invention provides a BIM-based building structure seismic performance assessment system and method. Its core is to achieve a comprehensive, automated assessment of the seismic performance of building structures by combining BIM model data with finite element analysis technology. The following describes the specific implementation of the present invention in detail, with reference to Figures 1 to 5 and specific examples.

[0038] In practical applications, the first step is to obtain the BIM model data of the target building structure. As shown in Figure 2, this process involves exporting a comprehensive dataset containing geometric information, material properties, and construction stage information from the BIM platform. This data is the basis for subsequent analysis, so its completeness and accuracy must be ensured. If key geometric or material information is missing during the data extraction process, the system will automatically mark it as invalid data and prompt the user to supplement the relevant information. For example, in the seismic performance assessment of a high-rise building, if the BIM model does not include the material properties of certain load-bearing columns, the system will generate a prompt message, requiring the user to supplement this data to ensure the reliability of subsequent analysis.

[0039] After acquiring the BIM model data, the next step is to generate finite element analysis models for multiple working conditions based on geometric features and material properties. As shown in Figure 3, this process includes multiple steps: First, the BIM model parsing module extracts key node information and connection relationships of the building structure. Specifically, a topological analysis algorithm is used to identify the main load-bearing components in the BIM model and their interactions. For example, in a frame-structured building, the system can automatically identify major load-bearing components such as beams, columns, and slabs and determine the connection methods between them. Subsequently, based on the extracted key node information and connection relationships, combined with the load conditions under different working conditions, the corresponding finite element mesh model is constructed. To ensure a balance between model accuracy and computational efficiency, the system optimizes the finite element mesh model. For example, in a complex building structure, the system adaptively adjusts the mesh density based on the characteristics of local stress concentration areas, thereby ensuring computational accuracy while reducing computing resource consumption.

[0040] After the finite element analysis model is generated, the next step is to perform dynamic response simulation on the model. The core of this process is to obtain the key performance indicators under various working conditions through numerical simulation. The formula for dynamic response simulation is Where R is the dynamic response score; E max is the maximum elastic strain energy; E th is the set elastic strain energy threshold; T eff is the effective vibration period; T ref is the reference vibration period; γ and δ are weight coefficients configured according to different building types. Taking a reinforced concrete frame structure as an example, assuming that its maximum elastic strain energy E max is 500kJ, the elastic strain energy threshold E th is 1000kJ, effective vibration period T eff is 0.8 seconds, with reference to the vibration period T ref is 1.0 second, and γ and δ are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively, the dynamic response score is This score can intuitively reflect the seismic performance of a building structure under specific working conditions.

[0041] During the dynamic response simulation process, the simulation results may not meet the convergence conditions. When the maximum displacement in the simulation results exceeds the set threshold, or when the stress distribution of key nodes fluctuates abnormally, or the energy error of the overall model exceeds the allowable range, the system will adaptively refine the model mesh. For example, in the seismic performance assessment of a bridge structure, if the maximum displacement of a key node exceeds the preset threshold of 10 mm, the system will automatically refine the mesh in that area and rerun the dynamic response simulation until the convergence conditions are met. This mechanism can significantly improve the reliability and accuracy of the simulation results.

[0042] After completing the dynamic response simulation, the system will output the seismic performance evaluation results of the building structure based on the key performance indicators combined with the preset evaluation criteria. As shown in Figure 4, this process is implemented through a multi-level evaluation algorithm, mapping the key performance indicators to the seismic grade classification table and generating a visual evaluation report. For example, in the seismic performance evaluation of a residential building, the system will classify its seismic performance into four levels of "excellent", "good", "qualified" or "unqualified" based on the dynamic response score R and other key performance indicators (such as maximum inter-story displacement angle, base shear force, etc.), and display the evaluation results in the form of charts. This visual report is not only easy for users to understand, but also can provide an important reference for subsequent structural optimization design.

[0043] In addition, the present invention also provides a BIM-based building structure seismic performance evaluation system, the framework of which is shown in Figure 5. The system includes a memory 3, a processor 2, and a computer program stored in the memory and runnable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it can implement all the steps of the above-mentioned BIM-based building structure seismic performance evaluation method. For example, in the seismic performance evaluation of a large commercial complex, the system calls the BIM model data in the memory through the processor, and completes operations such as data extraction, finite element model generation, dynamic response simulation and evaluation result output in sequence, and finally generates a detailed seismic performance evaluation report. The high efficiency and degree of automation of this system significantly improve the work efficiency of seismic performance evaluation.

[0044] In summary, the present invention realizes a comprehensive and automated evaluation of the seismic performance of building structures by combining BIM model data with finite element analysis technology. In practical applications, whether it is a high-rise building, a bridge or other complex structure, the present invention can provide accurate and reliable evaluation results. For example, in a seismic performance evaluation project of a building complex in an earthquake-prone area, the present invention was successfully applied to the seismic performance analysis of dozens of buildings, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the evaluation work. At the same time, the system's adaptive grid refinement processing mechanism and multi-level evaluation algorithm further enhance the scientific nature and practicality of the evaluation results. It can be seen from the above embodiments that the present invention not only solves the problems existing in the prior art, but also provides a new solution for the field of seismic performance evaluation of building structures.
