摘要
为准确计算带边缘构件钢筋混凝土(reinforced concrete,RC)剪力墙的抗剪承载力并合理描述其概率分布特征,提出了一种基于改进拉压杆模型与贝叶斯理论的RC剪力墙抗剪承载力概率模型。首先,在软化拉压杆模型中引入边缘构件纵向钢筋的贡献,研究构建了考虑边缘构件效应的RC剪力墙抗剪承载力的概率模型;然后借助392组试验数据,结合贝叶斯理论与马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛(Markov Chain Monte Carlo,MCMC)方法,系统获取了模型参数的统计特征(包括经验分布类型、均值、标准差和相关系数);最后将模型计算结果与试验值及多种传统模型进行对比,验证所构建模型的合理性与实用性。分析结果表明,本文模型不仅具备描述抗剪承载力概率特征的能力,还可通过置信区间与概率密度函数对传统模型进行合理修正;同时,所提出均值模型的预测结果与真实抗剪承载力具有较高的一致性,其均值和标准差分别为0.95和0.31。
Abstract
To accurately estimate the shear strength of RC (reinforced concrete) shear walls with boundary elements and to reasonably describe its probabilistic characteristics, a probabilistic model for shear strength of RC shear walls was proposed based on an improved strut-and-tie model and Bayesian theory. Firstly, the contribution of longitudinal reinforcement in the boundary elements was incorporated into the softened strut-and-tie model, leading to the development of a probabilistic model that accounts for the boundary element effects. Then, using a dataset of 392 experimental specimens, the statistical characteristics of the model parameters (including empirical distribution types, means, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients) were systematically determined through Bayesian theory and MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) method. Finally, the proposed model was validated by comparing its predictions with experimental results and several traditional models. The analysis demonstrates that the proposed model not only effectively captures the probabilistic features of shear strength but also enables the calibration of conventional models using confidence intervals and probability density functions. Meanwhile, the proposed mean-value model shows strong agreement with the actual shear strength, with a mean and standard deviation of the predicted-to-measured ratio of 0.95 and 0.31, respectively.
