In recent years, with the rapid development of China’s construction industry, assembled buildings have become more and more common. In this context, China attaches great importance to the development of assembled buildings and has introduced a series of policies to support the promotion of assembled buildings. Assembled building technology has become relatively mature in some developed countries. From their experience, it can be learned that the construction of an assembled concrete structure technology system is the basis for the promotion of assembled concrete buildings. A factory-based production model enables prefabricated concrete elements to be produced to a good quality. The key to the technical system for the construction of assembled concrete structures is the connection of the prefabricated elements. At the same time, it is essential to consider not only the reliability of the structural performance of the assembled concrete structure but also the cost and safety of the design, production, transport, and construction processes. In fact, the safety of an assembled concrete structure depends to a large extent on whether the nodal connection technology meets the design and quality requirements. Unlike conventional cast-in-place concrete structures, the key nodes of assembled concrete structures have a greater impact on the mechanical properties of the load transfer. In other words, this influence is directly related to the design of the prefabricated elements. Hence, the mechanical properties of precast nodal joints, such as good stiffness, are essential for the structural safety of assembled buildings. In the case of assembled buildings, the correct form of nodal connection is decisive in ensuring that the connection meets the design and service requirements. In addition to this, the correct nodal connection form will ensure that the design life is maintained. The uneven quality of many prefabricated components has limited the promotion of assembled concrete structures and is a key constraint to their development. At this stage, there are no uniform standards for quality control systems and measures on site in China, and the level of technical management is not yet fully mature. What is more, the overall quality of construction personnel is not high enough, which might lead to some frequent issues with the quality of connections in the field during the actual construction process. As a result, the development of assembled concrete structures urgently requires perfect construction management standards as a guide for on-site joint construction, so as to guarantee the quality level of on-site joint construction. In order to study the force performance of assembled concrete structures, this paper establishes an analytical model for assembled concrete buildings based on the intelligent finite element method. To be specific, this research introduces artificial neural network theory into the structural analysis of assembled buildings and transports it into the finite element solution, thus forming an intelligent finite element method.
