Abstract:
To better protect ancient wooden structures, this paper presents a dual-indicator prediction model that is applicable to assessment on the safety of wooden structures with consideration of bioerosion. More specifically, the dual indicator includes bearing capacity index and deformation capacity index. The former is achieved by combining the Gerhards model and the time-varying bioerosion model. The latter is implemented by employing the Weibull model to fit the development tendency of monitoring data. This dual-indicator prediction model was finally applied to an existing ancient wooden structure, i.e. the Seven Literary World, to predict the remaining service life (RSL). For the Seven Literary World, the RSL of the most components predicted by the deformation capacity index is much shorter than that predicted by the bearing capacity index. Taking the shortest RSL of all components as the RSL of the overall structure, the RSL of the Seven Literary World is 96.6 years. Besides, for bearing-capacity-based RSL prediction, the RSL without considering bioerosion reaches to 7803 years, which is much larger than that considering bioerosion, i.e. 287 years. The results show that the proposed dual-indicator prediction model can comprehensively predict the future service state of structures, and it will much overestimate RSL of wooden structures if bioerosion is neglected.
