2024, 54(2): 1-7. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23120204
Abstract:
In view of the existing various seismic hazard analysis methods, the seismic hazard analysis method based on historical seismic intensity data and the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis method to analyze the seismic hazards of the main urban area in Beijing was taken, and the peak ground acceleration with a probability of exceeding 10% in 50 years was obtained. The results showed that the peak ground acceleration of the main urban area in Beijing was of obvious spatial variability, which was gradually increasing from the west of the city to the east; the results obtained from those two methods were reliable and the differences were slight. The methods had their own characteristics, the former had fewer assumptions including site effects and was moderately difficult to calculate, but the application range was limited; the latter was integrated influences of various factors, with multiple assumptions and high computational complexity, but be widely used. Those two methods could provide reference to seismic hazard assessment.

2024, 54(2): 18-24. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23121004
Abstract:
Industrial superstructures are a new type of industrial space model, which realizes the efficient use of urban industrial space and also brings new safety risk factors to industrial parks. In order to scientifically and accurately assess the safety risks of industrial buildings, the paper proposed a safety risk assessment index system for industrial buildings based on the theoretical framework of "risk source-risk exposure-mitigation force", which consists of three guideline layers of risk source control, carrier toughness, and mitigation force, as well as 20 secondary indicators. At the same time, combining the network analysis method (ANP) and the object-element topology model to determine the indicator weighting system and evaluation method, the establishment of industrial superstructure safety risk assessment model, the industrial superstructure safety risk assessment data to realize topology quantification, and then enhance the objectivity of the assessment results. The paper took an industrial superstructure park in Shenzhen as an example, and the analysis results showed that the safety risk level of the industrial superstructure park was light risk, and the assessment results were better, which was in line with the actual situation; through a comparison, it was found that the assessment method proposed in the paper was practical and scientific; the park should focus on the construction of the resilience level of the disaster-bearing body, strengthen a small amount of hazardous chemicals management, reasonably control the risks of productive vibration, etc., and strengthen the capacity of risk monitoring and early-warning, in order to better guarantee the safety of industrial superstructures.

2024, 54(2): 25-34. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23121501
Abstract:
High-density building clusters, with a large population, a number of high-rise buildings, and significant assets, have been noticeable in the context of economic and urbanization progress. These provide focal points as well as new challenges for urban seismic mitigation and disaster prevention. Concurrently, with the progress in seismic engineering research and its practical applications, traditional seismic risks, such as structural collapses, have seen a gradual decline. Nonetheless, novel seismic disasters, such as post-earthquake falling debris and fires, have gained prominence. These are extremely destructive and lack effective mitigation measures. Therefore, the paper focused on four typical novel seismic secondary disasters: post-earthquake falling debris, post-earthquake fires, people trapped in elevators under earthquakes, and site-city interaction effects. The current preliminary research findings on novel seismic secondary disasters were summarized, and an outlook on future research directions was proposed, so as to provide a scholarly reference for the exploration of novel seismic disasters.

Abstract:
The safety of urban buildings involves people’s lives and property. In recent years, there have been many local collapses of buildings causing serious damage. In order to realize the "pre-disaster prevention" safety supervision of modern urban building facilities, a large-scale safety risk assessment method for urban buildings and infrastructure was proposed based on PS-InSAR technology. By combining InSAR principle, the building PS point clustering was extracted, the deformation information of cluster points was analyzed, the effective deformation was extracted according to building risk related indicators, and risk grade standards were divided according to building types and regional conditions, so as to evaluate the safety risk situation of building facilities in the region. Taking Changchun City as an example, using the COSMO-SkyMed satellite time series data, a large-scale safety risk monitoring experiment was conducted on buildings in the main urban area, and a field survey was conducted on buildings that were evaluated as grade D and needed to be paid attention to, and it was found that there were obvious hidden dangers. The feasibility and accuracy of the method were confirmed, and it could provide technical supports for regular "physical examination" of large-scale urban building facilities and ensure the safety of urban buildings.

2024, 54(2): 58-64. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23120810
Abstract:
The detection and location of illegal buildings has always been a challenge for urban management, Color steel tile buildings are one of the key objects of attention in determining whether they are illegal buildings. Existing research focuses on how to detect colored steel and tile buildings, but lacks the specific street positioning of such buildings. This study aims to address this issue by proposing a framework that integrates illegal building detection with location. An empirical study in a particular street area in Shenzhen was conducted, aerial visible light images taken by drones were used as the dataset. Firstly, drones were used to collect image data from the detection area, and then DINO was applied to detect color steel tile buildings and obtain the center points of their bounding box. After coordinate system transformation, the coordinates of the color steel tile buildings were obtained, and Aruco codes were used to verify the accuracy of the location. Finally, the coordinates were correlated with street information through the interface of a map engine. The detection results indicated that DINO performed well in detecting color steel tile buildings, achieving a detection accuracy of 90%. The positioning test results indicated that when the drone was within 30 m of the measured object, the positioning accuracy could be controlled within 1 m, but the increase in the height of the drone from the measured object wouldcause the positioning accuracy to decrease. An effective framework for the detection and location of illegal buildings was proposed and validated. This method not only has high accuracy in detecting color steel tile buildings, but can also determine the specific street location of color steel tile buildings, which contributes to more accurate and efficient urban management.

2024, 54(2): 65-72. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23121903
Abstract:
To ensure the construction safety of high-formwork support structures, a set of construction intelligent real-time monitoring method based on computer vision and finite element technology was proposed. A refined finite element model was established according to the real situation of the rods arrangement of the high-formwork support structure, and the buckling analysis was carried out under a variety of working conditions, so as to obtain the vertical displacement of the key joints during the buckling damage of the high-formwork support structure, and to obtain the alarm threshold value of the intelligent real-time monitoring of the construction. The intelligent real-time monitoring algorithm based on computer vision was developed to monitor the displacement changes of the high-formwork support structure in the construction process in real time, and the algorithm will automatically alarm and guide the elimination of dangers and the protection of construction safety when unsafe displacement occurs. After the construction, according to the theoretical calculation results and the actual measurement results, the finite element model was corrected parametrically, and the corrected finite element model was subjected to buckling damage analysis, and the sizes of the corrected buckling vertical displacement and the alarm threshold were compared to illustrate the reasonableness of the alarm threshold. The successful completion of a high-formwork support structure project for a multi-use building verified the effectiveness of the new construction monitoring method proposed in the paper.

2024, 54(2): 73-79. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23021204
Abstract:
Construction accidents are primarily and directly caused by unsafe behavior. Traditional safety intervention techniques based on behavioral safety are restricted to rewards and punishments, which have a limited capacity for sustainability, and the intervention effect declines noticeably as intervention time increases. Based on the (Leadership-Culture-Behavior) LCB theory of construction safety, the aim of this study is to develop a targeted LCB intervention approach, and through comprehensive LCB intervention, to enhance the safety management of construction projects. In order to establish the goals of the intervention, the case project’s performance in terms of safety leadership, safety culture, and safety management behavior was first assessed by using the LCB measuring scale. Following the identification of five interventions using LCB theory, an intervention program was developed based on on-site research and interviews. Finally, LCB measurement during the observation period and another LCB measurement during the follow-up period were undertaken to validate the sustainability of the intervention effects. The results indicated that the developed intervention program achieved significant and sustained improvements in the three LCB dimensions of attention to respect, education and training, and safety education. The methods described in this paper can be used as a reference for similar programs to conduct safety interventions, enriching LCB intervention practices and further deepening LCB theory.

2024, 54(2): 80-89. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23120805
Abstract:
Hospital, as a critical public facility in urban settings, faces the challenges of emergencies that can lead to chaotic evacuation processes, jeopardizing both personnel safety and overall evacuation efficiency. Hospital staff, including doctors, security personnel, and various social roles, play indispensable roles in emergency evacuations. This study conducted two expert questionnaire surveys to investigate the social role identification and performance of hospital staff during routine and emergency situations. The research identified five distinct emergency evacuation roles, offering a clear distinction between the daily behaviors of hospital staff and their evacuation behaviors, while also pinpointing potential influencing factors for these behaviors. Findings revealed that hospital staff would be assumed to play emergency evacuation roles during unforeseen events, with their behavior and performance shaped by a complex interplay of personal characteristics, organizational factors, and environmental considerations. An evacuation role evolution questionnaire was developed and validated, facilitating a comprehensive analysis of phenomena such as role ambiguity, conflicts, and tension that may arise during hospital emergency evacuations.

Abstract:
Aiming at the characteristics of large fire load, cramped space, and complex interior decoration of escape rooms, and their safety hazards of rapid fire spread and difficult evacuation after fire, the study was based on the Pyrosim software to investigate the fire spread, smoke flow, visibility changes and temperature changes after fire in the escape room, and to analyze the problems and deficiencies of the existing decoration methods in the case of fire, and to propose improvement measures for the existing decoration methods. The simulation results showed that the design of long and narrow corridors should be avoided in the escape room, and the partition walls of the escape room should be designed with through-roofs in the process of renovation, and the escape room should be equipped with two evacuation paths in order to shorten the escape time to the greatest extent possible. The study of the fire spread characteristics is of great significance to safeguarding the lives of entertainers, and it can also provide a reference for the evacuation of escape room entertainment venues.

2024, 54(2): 98-105. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23121101
Abstract:
The wind-resistant design of building structures in the typhoon affected area in the codes is carried out by analogy with the non-cyclonic wind field, however, many measured results show that there is a large difference between the typhoon wind profile and the profile of the non-cyclonic wind field, and the influencing factors and changing rules of the typhoon wind profile are still not clear at present. To clearly understand the profile characteristics of typhoons, many measured profile data of several typhoons were used for the analysis. The measured data were categorized by three factors, namely, the underlying surface categories, the typhoon structural partitions,and the wind speed, and the wind profile data of each category were comparatively analyzed, and the study showed that: the low-level jet phenomena in typhoon wind profiles was related to the underlying surface categories, the typhoon structural partitions, and the wind speed, the low-level jets were more likely to occur at exposure category A, B, larger wind speed, and in the back eyewall region in typhoon; there was a certain relationship between the gradient wind height of the typhoon wind profile and the type of underlying surface and average wind speed. The gradient wind height of exposure category A and B showed an increasing trend from the center of the typhoon outward, while the gradient wind height underground of exposure category C showed a decreasing and then increasing trend from the center of the typhoon outward.

JIN Wei, ZHAI Changhai, LIU Wen
2024, 54(2): 117-127. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23121430
Abstract:
Infill walls are commonly subjected to bidirectional seismic actions in actual seismic events. A robust interaction prevails between the in-plane and out-of-plane seismic performance of infill walls, where in-plane damage often diminishes the out-of-plane bearing capacity of infill walls. A finite element model for RC frames with infill walls was established and validated against experimental data, and extensively employed in numerical analysis. The objective was to delve into the seismic performance of masonry infill walls under bidirectional loading, considering the effects of loading modes, aspect ratio, slenderness ratio, and block compressive strength on the out-of-plane bearing capacity of infill walls with prior in-plane damage. Based on experimental data and parameter analysis, a formula for predicting out-of-plane bearing capacity reduction factors of masonry infill walls with prior in-plane damage was proposed. A new comprehensive geometric parameter was introduced considering the mechanism of out-of-plane load transfer for infill walls. The new formula exhibited a superior fit with experimental data compared to existing equations.

2024, 54(2): 155-160. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG23121201
Abstract:
With the rapid development of big data in China’s government affairs, it is of great significance to fully utilize a large amount of unlabeled text data in the field of public safety, effectively extract key information from the text, and enhance urban safety governance capabilities. Therefore, a public safety domain text keyword extraction model based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed to quickly label the text content in an unsupervised manner, in order to improve the user's retrieval ability for public safety domain files or events. The paper used the log-sum norm regularization term as the sparse constraint of the loss function of the model to guide the policy network to learn strategies that retain important vocabulary and discard unimportant vocabulary. At the same time, a model training method with variable mini-batch sizes was designed, which could control the difficulty of learning the policy network by setting different mini batch sizes, thereby improving the generalization capacity of the policy network. The performance comparison results showed that the model outperformed traditional unsupervised methods in the task of keyword extraction.

2024, 54(2): 161-166. doi: 10.3724/j.gyjzG24010402
Abstract:
The concrete of bridge pile foundations always bear excessive axial loads, and accompanying with its internal failure and crack process, elastic waves will be emitted. In order to quantify the characteristics of the entire instability evolution process of concrete, the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of acoustic emission in the whole loading process of concrete specimens drilled in situ from bridge pile foundation structures were studied and synchronous monitoring tests of axial compression and acoustic emission were conducted. The relation between the whole process of compressive instability and the acoustic emission ringing counts, energy release, focal locations and other characterization parameters were analyzed. Then, a quantitative description of the correlation between the loading process and acoustic emission characteristics was obtained, and its instability evolution process was analyzed. The results indicated that the stress of concrete specimens under axial compression was consistent with the change law of the acoustic emission ringing counts and energy release with times, and the acoustic emission positioning points mainly located in a macro "positioning zone" in the shear stress concentration area, which was consistent with the development and failure of concrete cracks. The loading stage of concrete could be quantitatively judged according to activity of acoustic emission, which could reflected the critical characteristics of concrete instability, and was of great significance to service monitoring of pile foundation concrete.
