Accurate identification of structural physical parameters is crucial for evaluating the safety and performance of existing multi-story buildings. Conventional identification methods rely heavily on idealized prior models with assumed stiffness or mass matrices; however, given that cumulative damage and construction errors render the acquisition of accurate prior information for long-term service structures nearly impossible, such practices are often impractical and lead to significant error propagation from inaccurate structural assumptions. Moreover, traditional methods frequently exhibit reduced accuracy and stability under the influence of environmental noise and modeling uncertainty. To address these dual challenges, this study develops a comprehensive framework designated as SRCA-SWPINN, which integrates a newly developed stiffness-response collaborative acquisition (SRCA) strategy with a stage-wise physics-informed neural network (SW-PINN). The core innovation of the SRCA lies in its ability to directly reconstruct the actual stiffness matrix through quasi-static loading, thereby reducing reliance on idealized assumptions and ensuring the physical fidelity of identified parameters from the source. Furthermore, the SW-PINN employs a staged optimization strategy to effectively mitigate the non-convexity and local minima issues inherent in conventional PINNs, achieving stable and high-precision identification of structural physical parameters. Numerical validation on a three-degree-of-freedom shear model demonstrates that the proposed framework achieves high identification accuracy, with mass errors remaining below 1.5 % and the relative error of the damping matrix limited to 9.23 %. In contrast, a standard PINN implementation yields significantly larger errors of up to 6.4 % for mass and 14.76 % for damping. Furthermore, a systematic parametric study comprising 35 test cases is conducted to evaluate robustness under mass variation, stiffness degradation, measurement noise, and modeling uncertainty. The results show that mass identification errors are generally maintained within 3 %-4 % for most scenarios and remain below 6 % even under severe modeling uncertainty, while damping errors mostly stay within 10 %-12 % under diverse adverse conditions. Unified statistical analysis further indicates that the Percentage Within Tolerance (PWT) reaches 99 % for mass parameters under a 5 % threshold and 80 % for damping under a 12 % threshold, confirming the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed SRCA-SWPINN framework.
结构物性参数的准确识别对既有多层建筑的安全性能评价至关重要。传统的识别方法严重依赖于具有假设刚度或质量矩阵的理想先验模型;然而,考虑到累积的损坏和施工错误使得获取长期服务结构的准确先验信息几乎是不可能的,这种做法通常是不切实际的,并且会导致不准确的结构假设的严重错误传播。此外,传统方法在环境噪声和建模不确定性的影响下,精度和稳定性经常下降。为了应对这些双重挑战,本研究开发了一个名为SRCA- swpinn的综合框架,该框架将新开发的刚度-响应协同采集(SRCA)策略与分阶段物理信息神经网络(SW-PINN)集成在一起。SRCA的核心创新在于它能够通过准静态加载直接重建实际刚度矩阵,从而减少对理想化假设的依赖,并从源头上确保所识别参数的物理保真度。此外,SW-PINN采用阶段优化策略,有效缓解了传统pinn固有的非凸性和局部极小问题,实现了结构物性参数的稳定、高精度识别。在三自由度剪切模型上的数值验证表明,所提出的框架具有较高的识别精度,质量误差控制在1.5 %以内,阻尼矩阵的相对误差控制在9.23 %以内。相比之下,标准的PINN实现产生更大的误差,质量误差高达6.4 %,阻尼误差高达14.76 %。此外,还进行了系统参数研究,包括35个测试案例,以评估质量变化,刚度退化,测量噪声和建模不确定性下的鲁棒性。结果表明,在大多数情况下,质量识别误差一般保持在3 % ~ 4 %之间,即使在严重的建模不确定性下也保持在6 %以下,而在各种不利条件下,阻尼误差大多保持在10 % ~ 12 %之间。统一的统计分析进一步表明,在5 %阈值下,质量参数的公差内百分比(PWT)达到99 %,在12 %阈值下,阻尼的公差内百分比(PWT)达到80 %,证实了所提出的SRCA-SWPINN框架的有效性和可靠性。

This research presents a finite element method-based nonlinear limit analysis algorithm to specify the ultimate limit state and progressive nonlinear behavior of frame structures. The algorithm consists of primary and embedded iteration processes for the incremental load step and redistribution of unbalanced forces, respectively. A nonlinear analysis was performed by redistributing the unbalanced member forces to other members with remaining capacity when plastic failures of members occur as the load increases. This systematic force redistribution approach advances beyond previous simplified methods to capture complex, real-world structural behavior. Additionally, the critical load factor, which characterized the ultimate limit state, was obtained when no structural redundancy remained during the collapse of the entire system. Three examples of frame structure systems were employed to explore their ultimate limit states and nonlinear behaviors. These problems demonstrate that the developed method can simulate progressive system collapse and effectively identify the limit state of a complex system. The methodology developed in this study will enable reasonable plastic design of frame structures and applies to advanced approaches, such as more efficient reliability analysis.

To address the problem of vehicle collisions with bridge structures, this study developed a three-stage viscoelastic energy-absorbing vibration isolator (TSVEVI). The device leverages the deformation of thin-walled viscoelastic materials to achieve variable stiffness, thereby enabling efficient energy dissipation within limited displacements, reducing the overall size of the device, and enhancing protective performance. Static and dynamic compression tests were first conducted on the TSVEVI to determine key mechanical properties, including equivalent stiffness and damping across its three stages. Subsequently, a finite element model of the vehicle–TSVEVI–bridge system was established to evaluate its impact resistance under vehicle speeds of 60 km/h, 80 km/h, and 100 km/h. The results show that the TSVEVI exhibits three distinct stages: a linear stage, a stiffness degradation stage, and a stiffness strengthening stage. Without the device, vehicle–bridge collisions produced extreme stresses of 3025.0 MPa in the vehicle and 223.3 MPa in the pier, leading to severe damage in both. In contrast, with the TSVEVI installed, the device provided excellent protective performance: pier deformations under 60 km/h, 80 km/h, and 100 km/h were 90.0 mm, 125.8 mm, and 179.1 mm, respectively, while the collision force was reduced by 55.52 %, 81.64 %, and 79.05 % compared with the unprotected pier. These reductions significantly mitigated damage to both the pier and the vehicle, improving structural and vehicular safety. Owing to its three-stage impact-resistant design and the high-damping properties of the self-developed viscoelastic material, the TSVEVI demonstrated superior crash protection.
针对车辆与桥梁结构的碰撞问题,研制了一种三级粘弹性吸能隔振器(TSVEVI)。该装置利用薄壁粘弹性材料的变形来实现可变刚度,从而在有限的位移内实现高效的能量耗散,减小了装置的整体尺寸,增强了防护性能。首先对TSVEVI进行了静态和动态压缩测试,以确定其关键力学性能,包括三个阶段的等效刚度和阻尼。随后,建立了车辆- tsvevi -桥梁体系的有限元模型,评估了车速为60 km/h、80 km/h和100 km/h时的抗冲击性。结果表明:TSVEVI结构表现为线性阶段、刚度退化阶段和刚度强化阶段。在没有该装置的情况下,车桥碰撞产生的车辆和桥墩的极端应力分别为3025.0 MPa和223.3 MPa,造成了严重的损伤。相比之下,TSVEVI安装,设备提供了优良的防护性能:码头变形下 60公里/小时,80 km / h,和100年 km / h 90.0毫米,125.8 毫米,179.1 毫米,分别在碰撞力降低了55.52 %, % 81.64和79.05 %比未受保护的码头。这些减少大大减轻了对码头和车辆的损害,提高了结构和车辆的安全性。由于其三级抗冲击设计和自主研发的粘弹性材料的高阻尼特性,TSVEVI表现出卓越的碰撞保护。

A web opening of a reinforced concrete (RC) beam can take various forms, including circular, rectangular, and square, based on architectural and service-routing requirements. While web openings may vary in shape, the present study is limited to circular openings, which are widely used. Previous studies have proposed internal retrofit methods for transverse circular openings in RC beams, applicable to both plastic and non-plastic hinge regions. In addition to internal solutions, external retrofit techniques—such as the application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips—have demonstrated potential for delaying shear failure around openings and enhancing beam ductility. Owing to their lightweight, high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation, CFRP strips are widely employed in civil engineering practice. However, the effectiveness of CFRP strips in retrofitting RC beams with transverse circular openings has yet to be thoroughly investigated. This work aims to improve the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of RC beams with transverse circular openings through the use of externally bonded CFRP strips. To this end, four cantilever RC beam specimens with circular openings are tested under cyclic loading. The key parameters investigated include the tensile strength of the CFRP strips and the configuration of steel anchor plates around the openings. The experimental results are analyzed to evaluate the retrofit performance of the CFRP strips. Based on these findings and comparisons with prior research, this work proposes design recommendations for retrofitting regions near transverse circular openings using CFRP strips. Furthermore, equations for estimating the shear strength of CFRP-retrofitted regions are presented to support the retrofit design process.
钢筋混凝土(RC)梁的腹板开口可以采用各种形式,包括圆形、矩形和方形,这取决于建筑和服务路由的要求。虽然腹板开口的形状可能不同,但目前的研究仅限于广泛使用的圆形开口。先前的研究提出了钢筋混凝土梁横向圆孔的内部改造方法,适用于塑性和非塑性铰区。除了内部解决方案外,外部改造技术(如碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)条的应用)已经证明有可能延缓开口周围的剪切破坏并提高梁的延性。由于其重量轻,抗拉强度高,耐腐蚀,易于安装,CFRP条被广泛应用于土木工程实践。然而,CFRP条在钢筋混凝土梁的横向圆孔加固中的有效性还有待深入研究。本研究旨在通过采用外粘接CFRP条提高具有横向圆孔的RC梁的延性和耗能能力。为此,在循环荷载作用下,对4个带圆孔的RC悬臂梁试件进行了试验。研究的关键参数包括CFRP条的抗拉强度和开口周围钢锚板的配置。对试验结果进行了分析,评价了CFRP条的改造性能。基于这些发现和与先前研究的比较,本工作提出了使用CFRP条改造横向圆形开口附近区域的设计建议。此外,还提出了估算cfrp加固区域抗剪强度的公式,以支持加固设计过程。

As seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS), the balloon-framed cross-laminated timber (CLT) configuration offers several advantages, but current code provisions and design guidelines in North America are limited to platform-framed construction. Due to their inherent limitations, platform-framed systems are challenging to implement for taller buildings in seismically active regions, thereby posing barriers to the broader applications of CLT. To address this challenge, an innovative balloon-framed CLT shear wall system is proposed in this paper. This system leverages rocking and pivoting actions to minimize damage to CLT shear wall panels and incorporates distributed hysteretic dampers to achieve the desired kinematics and energy dissipation. The basic concept, configuration, and kinetics of the system are introduced as proof of concept. An analytical model of a two-story assembly is developed, establishing the relationships between global structural behavior and the geometric and mechanical properties of the kinematic components and supplemental damping devices. To verify the analytically derived behavior, nonlinear numerical models are developed for two-, six-, and twelve-story archetype buildings. Monotonic pushover analyses are conducted to investigate system behavior, focusing on characteristic response states and their transitions. Based on the presented analyses, mechanical behaviors are discussed for key components in the proposed system, paving the way for further investigations through dynamic numerical analyses and large-scale experimental tests.

Non-uniform thickness design for steel bridge deck and steel bridge deck pavement: Feasibility and stress analysis 钢桥面及钢桥面铺装层非均匀厚度设计:可行性及应力分析

To address recurring distresses in steel bridge deck pavement (SBDP), this study proposes a non‑uniform thickness design that locally thickens the steel bridge deck (SBD) while thinning the SBDP at critical regions to mitigate stress concentrations. Three representative SBDP combinations were examined: GA+SMA (flexible), EA+EA (rigid), and EA+SMA (rigid–flexible), where GA, EA, and SMA denote guss asphalt mixture, epoxy asphalt mixture, and stone mastic asphalt, respectively. First, the principles and implementation methods of the proposed non-uniform thickness design were defined based on the mechanical characteristics of the SBDP, with the key design parameters including the baseline thickness of the SBD, the thickness increment and the thickening range. Then, according to design standards and the transformed section method, the deflection and equivalent flexural stiffness of the SBD–SBDP composite structure were calculated. The effects of the parameters for non‑uniform thickness design on the composite structure were analyzed. Finite element models were developed to evaluate the resulting stress responses in the SBDP. Finally, a newly constructed steel box girder bridge was used as an engineering case to validate the feasibility of the proposed design. The results show that applying the non‑uniform thickness design at the mid‑span region significantly reduces the deflection of the composite structure. Compared with the uniform‑thickness reference group, all non‑uniform groups achieved deflection reductions greater than 35 %, with the maximum reduction reaching 90.4 %. The non‑uniform groups also exhibited significant increases in stiffness, particularly when the baseline SBD thickness was 12 mm. Finite element analysis further demonstrated that the non‑uniform thickness design markedly reduced the transverse tensile stress (S11) and longitudinal tensile stress (S33) in the SBDP, with maximum stress reductions up to 48.1 %. Stress reductions were observed for all three SBDP combinations, with the flexible GA+SMA showing the most pronounced reduction in stress concentration.
为了解决钢桥面铺装(SBDP)中反复出现的问题,本研究提出了一种非均匀厚度设计,即局部增厚钢桥面(SBD),同时在关键区域减薄钢桥面铺装(SBDP),以减轻应力集中。研究了三种具有代表性的SBDP组合:GA+SMA(柔性)、EA+EA(刚性)和EA+SMA(刚性-柔性),其中GA、EA和SMA分别表示高斯沥青混合料、环氧沥青混合料和石胶泥沥青。首先,基于单壁板的力学特性,确定了非均匀厚度设计的原则和实现方法,关键设计参数包括单壁板的基准厚度、厚度增量和加厚范围;然后,根据设计规范和变换截面法,计算了SBD-SBDP复合结构的挠度和等效抗弯刚度。分析了非均匀厚度设计参数对复合材料结构的影响。开发了有限元模型来评估SBDP中产生的应力响应。最后,以某新建钢箱梁桥为工程实例,验证了该设计方案的可行性。结果表明,在跨中区域采用非均匀厚度设计可显著降低复合材料结构的挠度。与均匀厚度参考组相比,所有非均匀厚度组的挠度减少幅度均大于35 %,最大减少幅度达到90.4 %。非均匀组也表现出显著的刚度增加,特别是当基线SBD厚度为12 mm时。有限元分析进一步表明,非均匀厚度设计显著降低了SBDP的横向拉应力(S11)和纵向拉应力(S33),最大应力降低可达48.1% %。所有三种SBDP组合均可观察到应力降低,其中柔性GA+SMA的应力集中降低最为明显。

First, the principles and implementation methods of the proposed non-uniform thickness design were defined based on the mechanical characteristics of the SBDP, with the key design parameters including the baseline thickness of the SBD, the thickness increment and the thickening range. Then, according to design standards and the transformed section method, the deflection and equivalent flexural stiffness of the SBD–SBDP composite structure were calculated.

The present study proposes a non-iterative method to investigate the time-dependent behavior of layered viscoelastic bodies with application to prestressed concrete (PSC) beams considering the effect of reinforcement. The layered viscoelastic body is subjected to bidirectional moments and an axial force. The axial force arises due to the stretching and clamping of a tendon to the beam (applied prestress force), and the biaxial bending moments develop due to either biaxial eccentricities in the location of the tendons or asymmetrical loading or both. Though the tendon could be bonded or unbonded to the beam, a perfect bond between concrete and reinforcement is assumed. Different layers are further assumed to shrink over time differently. This shrinkage phenomenon is modeled by changing the undeformed length of the layers in the beam with time. The observed axial strain, by virtue of it being small, is additively decomposed into shrinkage and mechanical strain. Due to the presence of axial force, the PSC beams are idealized as beam-column. The viscoelastic beam-column boundary value problem is solved through the Laplace transform technique. Hence, the present approach is generalized enough to include any viscoelastic model represented in the integral form. The proposed method is validated using experimental data for both bonded and unbonded prestressed concrete beams. The validated model is used to highlight the need for considering the reinforcement wherein the deflection could increase or decrease depending on the location and percentage of reinforcement by even as much as 3 times.
本研究提出了一种非迭代方法来研究层状粘弹性体的时间依赖行为,并应用于考虑钢筋效应的预应力混凝土(PSC)梁。层状粘弹性体受到双向力矩和轴向力的作用。轴向力的产生是由于拉伸和夹紧梁上的肌腱(施加预应力),而双轴弯矩的产生是由于肌腱位置的双轴偏心或不对称加载或两者兼而有之。虽然肌腱可以与梁结合或不结合,但假设混凝土和钢筋之间有完美的结合。进一步假设不同的层随着时间的推移会以不同的方式收缩。这种收缩现象是通过改变梁中未变形层的长度随时间的变化来模拟的。观察到的轴向应变较小,可叠加分解为收缩应变和机械应变。由于轴向力的存在,PSC梁被理想化为梁柱。利用拉普拉斯变换技术求解粘弹性梁柱边值问题。因此,目前的方法是广泛的,足以包括任何粘弹性模型表示为积分形式。采用试验数据对有粘结预应力混凝土梁和无粘结预应力混凝土梁进行了验证。经过验证的模型用于强调考虑钢筋的必要性,其中挠度可能根据钢筋的位置和百分比增加或减少,甚至多达3倍。

This study presents a life-cycle cost-based optimization framework for the seismic design of structures, developed within the second generation of the Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE-2) methodology. The design problem was formulated as a single-objective optimization to minimize life-cycle cost. To reduce the high computational demand of nonlinear analyses required for seismic loss estimation, an approximate loss estimation method was developed based on the story-based method and FEMA P-58. Additionally, a new constraint-handling method was presented, which reduces computational cost by more than 80 % compared with the conventional penalty function method. It requires no parameter tuning and can be implemented with any optimization algorithm. The framework’s effectiveness was demonstrated through the optimal design of a three-dimensional five-story steel moment-resisting frame, with direct comparisons to a conventional design approach. The results reveal that these optimized structures not only achieved approximately 20 % reductions in both structural weight and expected seismic loss, but also showed lower probabilities of collapse. These designs also exhibited increased stiffness, strength, and ductility. The performance of several metaheuristic algorithms was compared for solving the optimization problem, and among the studied algorithms, the SAR algorithm demonstrated superior performance, providing more effective optimization results. The effect of member grouping on the optimal design was also investigated. Overall, the proposed framework provides a practical and computationally efficient tool for life-cycle cost optimization within PBEE-2.
本研究提出了一种基于寿命周期成本的结构抗震设计优化框架,该框架是在第二代基于性能的地震工程(PBEE-2)方法中开发的。设计问题被表述为单目标优化,以最小化生命周期成本。为了减少地震损失估算中非线性分析的大量计算量,基于基于层的方法和FEMA P-58,提出了一种近似损失估算方法。此外,提出了一种新的约束处理方法,与传统的罚函数方法相比,计算量减少了80% %以上。它不需要参数调优,可以用任何优化算法实现。该框架的有效性通过一个三维五层钢抗弯矩框架的优化设计得到了证明,并与传统设计方法进行了直接比较。结果表明,优化后的结构不仅结构重量和预期地震损失减少了约20% %,而且倒塌概率也较低。这些设计还增加了刚度、强度和延展性。对几种元启发式算法求解优化问题的性能进行了比较,结果表明,SAR算法性能更优,优化结果更有效。研究了成员分组对优化设计的影响。总体而言,所提出的框架为PBEE-2的生命周期成本优化提供了一个实用且计算效率高的工具。

Glued laminated bamboo (glubam) has emerged as a sustainable and high-performance engineered construction material. However, its application in long-span structures remains hindered by manufacturing and transportation constraints, which necessitate efficient splicing solutions such as toothed metal-plate connectors (MPCs). This study investigates the flexural performance of MPC-spliced glubam beams through a combined experimental, analytical, and numerical framework. A comprehensive four-point bending test program was conducted on unspliced beams and beams with either inner-layer or outer-layer splices in thin-strip, thick-strip, and composite thin/thick-strip laminate compositions. The results confirm that MPC splicing is an effective method for manufacturing long-span glubam beams with relatively modular components. While stiffness and ultimate load capacity showed substantial reductions compared with unspliced beams, significant ductility enhancement (>200 %) was observed in thin-strip laminates, followed by moderate improvement in composite beams and limited ductility gains in thick-strip laminates due to splitting-dominated failure modes. Strain measurements and digital image correlation revealed that outer-layer splices relied primarily on MPCs to transfer tensile forces, while inner-layer splices preserved higher strain compatibility. An analytical model, based on mid‑span sectional analysis, was formulated to provide conservative estimates of flexural stiffness and ultimate moment capacity, which showed good agreement with experimental data. Finite element simulations further reproduced the global load–deflection response, interlaminar stress transfer, and progressive failure mechanisms, including MPC rupture and laminate splitting. These findings indicate that splice configuration, laminate composition, and connector alignment critically govern the flexural behavior, providing valuable insights for performance-based design and optimization of MPC-spliced glubam beams in structural applications.
胶合层压竹(glubam)已成为一种可持续和高性能的工程建筑材料。然而,它在大跨度结构中的应用仍然受到制造和运输限制的阻碍,这需要高效的拼接解决方案,如齿形金属板连接器(mpc)。本研究通过实验、分析和数值框架相结合的方法来研究mpc - glugum梁的抗弯性能。对薄条、厚条和薄/厚条复合层压组合物中的未拼接梁和内层或外层拼接梁进行了全面的四点弯曲试验。结果表明,MPC拼接是制造构件相对模块化的大跨度钢板梁的一种有效方法。虽然与未拼接的梁相比,刚度和极限承载能力大幅降低,但薄条状层压板的延性显著增强(>200 %),其次是复合梁的适度改善,而厚条状层压板的延性增加有限,这是由于劈裂为主的破坏模式。应变测量和数字图像相关显示,外层剪接主要依靠MPCs传递拉力,而内层剪接则保持了更高的应变相容性。建立了基于跨中截面分析的分析模型,提供了抗弯刚度和极限弯矩承载力的保守估计,与实验数据吻合良好。有限元模拟进一步再现了整体载荷-挠度响应、层间应力传递和渐进破坏机制,包括MPC破裂和层压劈裂。这些发现表明,接头配置、层压板组成和连接器对齐对弯曲行为起着至关重要的作用,为结构应用中基于性能的mpc拼接glubam梁的设计和优化提供了有价值的见解。

This paper reviews and compares the seismic behaviour and design provisions for ground-supported tanks and vessels, with a focus on widely used international seismic codes, standards, guidelines, and books including NZSEE, API 650, API 620, ASCE 07, IITK-GSDMA, AIJ, and Eurocode 8 (EN 1998–4). Essential analysis considerations for tanks and vessels under seismic forces are examined, with emphasis on fluid-structure interaction. Key topics include the development of simplified mass-spring models, calculation of the base shear, and determination of the period of vibration for tanks and vessels. The study also explores the role of tank wall flexibility and highlights distinctions between ground-supported and elevated tanks, as well as vessels supported by various structural systems. In addition, it provides a review of non-structural components and non-building structures, aligning with the provisions outlined in Chapters 13 and 15 of ASCE 07. The paper further discusses common failure modes in tanks and vessels that have been documented in past earthquake events, offering insights into vulnerabilities and the seismic analysis improvements.
