The rapid acquisition of bridge temperature data is significant for bridge temperature effect analysis and assessment. On the bases of ground meteorological shared big data, a bridge temperature prediction method based on long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is proposed. The proposed method is used to investigate the key issues of data preprocessing, model input feature selection, time-length determination, and hyper-parameter preference. Moreover, the proposed method relies on the maximum information coefficient to quantify the strongly correlated features and uses a two-layer deep LSTM neural network to improve the model’s time series information utilization and prediction capability. The constructed neural grid model is experimentally studied and verified based on the long-term measured data of the scaled bridge model in an outdoor environment. Comparative assessment with other typical time series models, such as NARX, RNN, and GRU, demonstrate that the LSTM neural network model exhibits the best generalization ability and highest temperature prediction accuracy, with a maximum absolute error of approximately 2°C and relative error below 5%. The engineering applicability and effectiveness of LSTM for bridge temperature prediction are verified.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140614905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the nonlinear characteristics of the magnetic suspension system, a nonlinear decoupling controller is designed using the feedback linearization theory. Then, a high-speed maglev train model is refined with a guideway coupling system, consisting of a maglev train simulated as a multi-body dynamics model with 537 degrees of freedom and a spatial finite element model of the guideway. Taking the Shanghai high-speed maglev train as an example, the correctness of the computational model is verified by comparing the modeling results with field measurement data, and the control effectiveness of the nonlinear controllers and the traditional PD controllers is compared considering different train speeds and disturbance forces. The results show that the suspension gap under the decoupling control is smaller than that under the PD control during the train operations. Under the same disturbance force, the decoupling control exhibits better control performance than the PD control. The variation amplitudes of the magnetic pole gaps are generally linearly related to the disturbance force.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"168 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140614750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, when considering uncertainties throughout the life cycle of corroded RC structures for assessing their safety, reliability, and optimal design, the complexity of the problem intensifies. To address these issues, this paper studies the time-dependent reliability analysis and optimal design of corroded RC beams. At first, the time-dependent reliability of beams is investigated by considering both the serviceability limit state (SLS), which corresponds to the corrosion initiation of the reinforced steel, and the ultimate limit state (ULS), associated with the bending failure of the beam. This analysis takes into account the time-dependent chloride diffusion coefficient and incorporates a stochastic process. The reliability is evaluated using the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) method. Subsequently, a time-dependent reliability-based design optimization (TRBDO) problem is formulated, and the PSO-MCS, a methodology incorporating a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and MCS is adopted to solve it. After optimization, the initial cost of the specific RC beam is reduced from 1351.879€ to 1247.075€, while the time-dependent reliability within [0, 100] years is improved from 0.6057 to 0.6508. The effectiveness of the CDF, MCS and PSO-MCS methods are demonstrated through reliability analysis and design examples of corroded RC beams.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140563938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stress state at different cross-sectional positions of the airship envelope structure is different, resulting in a low utilization rate of the overall material performance of the envelope structure. This paper proposes a design scheme for reinforcing envelope structures with sliding reinforcing cable to improve the bearing capacity of the composite fabric structure while reducing its weight, ultimately achieving the optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Two types of composite fabric structures (A-airship and B-airship) were subjected to inflatable burst tests, and the strain changes in the envelope gores were analyzed by digital image correlation. Through re-assembly of the broken composite fabric pieces and analysis of their tear textures, crack origination positions, failure causes, and the stress behavior and state at the failure position were identified. An envelope structural model with consideration of the cutting pattern effect was established, allowing the stress distribution of the envelope to be analyzed and the damage positions to be more accurately predicted. Based on the analysis of the ultimate pressure-bearing performance of an airship envelope structure, a novel idea of incorporating coupled tensile-shear stress into the strength criterion was proposed. Through the data in the study and existing references, it is verified that the strength criterion can accurately predict the ultimate pressure-bearing performance of the envelope structure.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140564120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wind action is generally the governing load of long-span bridges in design, while temperature action is also significant. Accurate separation of typhoon- and temperature-induced responses is thus necessary for in-depth investigation of their effects and comprehensive evaluation of structural performance. This paper separates the temperature- and typhoon-induced responses of the Qingzhou Bridge by using a unified global analysis approach. The field-monitored meteorological data and structural responses collected from the structural health monitoring system installed on the bridge are analyzed in detail, with emphasis on the comparison of those during typhoon Higos (Signal No. 9) and a typical sunny day after the typhoon. Results show that the quasi-static variation of displacement and stress responses are higher on a typical sunny day than those during the typhoon period, which is out of intuition. Through the unified analysis, the temperature-induced responses are calculated, and the typhoon-induced responses can be separated. The temperature- and typhoon-induced longitudinal displacement, mid-span deflection, and stress of the girder are compared. The temperature-induced response accounts for a large part of the total quasi-static recording either on a typical sunny day or during the typhoon period, whereas typhoon caused significant dynamic responses. The typhoon-induced quasi-static and dynamic responses are also in good agreement with the wind tunnel test results. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of the unified global analysis in separating the temperature effect.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140564024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fretting fatigue failure of cables at saddle supports is a primary design consideration for these systems. Critical parameters that affect the fretting fatigue life of the cables are the contact forces and the slip displacements at the contact points between the cables and the saddle. Determining these critical parameters is the first step in evaluating the fretting fatigue life of the cables. Wear in the contact points between the cables and the saddle can affect the load distribution in saddle systems and consequently affect these critical parameters. However, the effect of wear has not been studied in the previous works. This paper first discusses the methods proposed in the literature for evaluating contact forces and slip displacements in the contact points between a cable and a saddle. Then, a finite element model of the problem and a framework for modelling the wear are presented. Finally, fretting fatigue life is determined based on the different studied approaches. The main highlights of the current study are considering the effect of wear in the simulation and employing an enhanced FE model for slip displacement calculations. The results of the basic model without wear effects showed that the first contact point between the cable and the saddle is critical for fatigue failure. However, by incorporating wear in the model, the contact force at the first point dropped and the second contact point became critical; this is in line with the observations in large-scale fatigue tests of saddle systems.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140564019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in RC construction practice, the longitudinal reinforcement of RC beams is densely arranged, making construction difficult. In this study, four large RC beam specimens were designed and fabricated to conduct experiments to verify the effect of hoop spacing and crosstie configuration on the cyclic performance of reinforced concrete beams. It is found that: (1) The crosstie configuration with seismic hook engaging the longitudinal reinforcement at the bottom is recommended and that during construction, within the range of twice the beam depth from the RC column outer face, the bottom and side formwork should be completed after the crossties are assembled, which should solve the problem of difficult construction. (2) The transverse reinforcement spacing between 4 and 6 times the smallest longitudinal reinforcement diameter of RC beams may have no significant effect on the cyclic performance of RC beams. (3) The requirement that in the plastic hinge zone of RC beams, every corner and alternate longitudinal bar on the perimeter must have lateral support provided by the corner of a tie or crosstie in ACI 318-19(SI) may not have a major impact on the cyclic performance of the RC beam. (4) The ultimate drift angle of each specimen in the negative direction was between 4.3% rad and 4.5% rad; thus, all the specimens satisfied the ACI requirement. However, the cyclic performance (plasticity rotation angle) of all specimens basically did not meet the requirement of 3.0% rad for earthquake-resistant structures.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140322452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a study on the behaviour of CFRP-confined MFRC. A total of 84 CFRP-confined MFRC cylinders were prepared and tested in axial compression. The test parameters included the CFRP confinement stiffness, macro fibre content, and fibre length. The test results show that the compressive strength and ultimate axial strain can be significantly enhanced through the use of CFRP confinement. The ultimate axial strain of CFRP-confined concrete with macro fibres is slightly higher than that without macro fibres. The test results were compared with two well-known stress-strain models for FRP-confined concrete, including Teng et al.’s design-oriented model and Jiang and Teng’s analysis-oriented model.

Non-uniformly distributed hydration heat during curing, inadequate compaction during construction and unavoidable shrinkage and creep of mass concrete in service most likely lead to interface debonding defects between concrete core and steel tube, which has been a common concern. The development of effective non-destructive inspection methods for interface bonding condition of existing CFST members is critical. In this study, an interface debonding defect detection method based on electromechanical impedance (EMI) measurement using surface-mounted piezoelectric-lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) sensors is proposed at first. Then, experimental study on the feasibility of the proposed approach is carried out with scaled CFST specimens with artificially mimicked interface debonding defects. EMI of surface-mounted PZT sensors at different frequency bands are measured and compared to verify the detectability of the proposed approach for the mimicked interface debonding defects. Thirdly, a multi-physics CFST-PZT coupling finite element model (FEM) with interface debonding defects is established, and EMI of surface-mounted PZT sensors at different locations is simulated. The influence of interface debonding defects on EMI measurements is illustrated. Finally, a blind inspection on the interface bonding condition of selected CFST columns in an existing skyscraper in service using the proposed approach is carried out. Both bonding and debonding defect in the tested CFST columns are detected correctly and validated with drilling hole observation. Experimental, numerical and engineering application results show the proposed approach is effective for interface debonding detection of CFST members and sensitive to minor debonding defect of 0.3 mm in CFST members.","PeriodicalId":50849,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Structural Engineering","volume":"130 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140322671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
