Abstract
Accurate bearing displacement assessment is crucial for frictional isolated bridges under pulse-like ground motions. In order to cope with the efficiency requirement brought by large-scale bridge portfolio estimation, the artificial intelligence (AI) method, a powerful tool to address multi-parameter issues, is widely adopted in seismic performance analysis for bridge networks. However, the traditional machine learning (TML) method pursues the overall prediction performance, the prediction effect in sensitive intervals caused by pulse-effect can not be assured. To face this challenge, this study proposed an AI-assisted analytical (AIA) method, which owns the characteristics of high efficiency, high accuracy and clear physical meaning. In the first step of the AIA method, the relationship between primary factor (pulse period) and output (seismic displacement) is established through an analytical model; in the second step, the undetermined parameters of the analytical model are estimated with the assistance of the AI method. The results indicate that the AIA model only requires 0.1 times data for model training and achieves overall predictive performance similar to TML methods. Moreover, the predictive effect of the AIA model in the sensitive range is greatly improved compared to the TML method. Finally, based on AIA method, an effective seismic fragility prediction method is proposed for frictional isolated bridge networks. The fragility curves illustrated by AIA method and FE analysis are in good agreement, which exhibited the satisfactory efficiency of the proposed AIA method.
期刊介绍:
The journal aims to encourage and enhance the role of mechanics and other disciplines as they relate to earthquake engineering by providing opportunities for the publication of the work of applied mathematicians, engineers and other applied scientists involved in solving problems closely related to the field of earthquake engineering and geotechnical earthquake engineering.
Emphasis is placed on new concepts and techniques, but case histories will also be published if they enhance the presentation and understanding of new technical concepts.
