Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of safety monitoring of water conservancy and hydropower projects, and particularly relates to a method for monitoring horizontal displacement of an arch dam. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the safety monitoring of a concrete arch dam, the diversity law of horizontal displacement reflects the actual stress state of the arch dam, and accurate mastery of these change laws is the key to discovering abnormal deformation and preventing dam collapse accidents. The horizontal displacement data can decompose temperature, water level and other influencing factors to reveal the real working state of the arch dam.
[0003] Due to the arc shape of the arch dam in the plane, the quasi-straight line method commonly used for straight-line dams is not applicable to arch dams. The methods suitable for monitoring the horizontal displacement of arch dams mainly include surface deformation monitoring and the vertical line method.
[0004] Surface deformation monitoring mainly sets multiple measuring points on the dam top or behind the dam, such as the arch crown, 1 / 4 arch and 3 / 4 arch, and uses the intersection method to monitor the horizontal displacement. The intersection method observation has the following characteristics: ① The intersection method needs to arrange multiple working base points away from the deformation body, and the intersection angle needs to be between 30°-150°, preferably 90°-109°, otherwise the error will increase; ② The height difference between the working base point and the measuring point cannot be too large. For the case where the height difference of the measuring point is distributed in a large range, the working base point needs to be set in layers; ③ The geodetic method needs to observe multiple measuring returns to eliminate errors, which takes a long time to observe; the weather conditions are high, and rain, snow, fog and sun cannot be observed, which cannot achieve real-time monitoring; ④ The cost of automation is high, and the cost of a single station is about 1 million yuan. The intersection method needs to set at least two stations, with a cost of more than 2 million yuan; ⑤ The intersection method can only set representative points on the arch dam for observation, and cannot achieve global observation.
[0005] The vertical line method mainly sets positive and negative vertical lines on the section of the arch crown, 1 / 4 arch and 3 / 4 arch for observation, and calculates the horizontal displacement of the arch dam by superposition. Like surface deformation monitoring, the vertical line method can only select representative sections for observation, and cannot achieve global observation. In addition, the vertical line method needs to drill holes to install the vertical line, which requires high drilling and has high cost. The unit price of each meter is about 2500 yuan. Taking a 100m arch dam as an example, the negative vertical line is calculated at 40m deep into the bedrock, and three positive and negative vertical lines are set. The drilling cost is 140*3*2500=105 million yuan.
[0006] Through the analysis of surface deformation monitoring and the vertical line method, the two methods for monitoring the horizontal displacement of the arch dam have high cost, and can only achieve point monitoring, and cannot achieve global monitoring.
[0007] The patent application file with the publication number CN105890537A discloses a distributed optical fiber sensing technical solution and system for high arch dam deformation monitoring. In view of the characteristics and difficulties of double-curvature arch dams, two unique curved optical fiber packaging structures, i.e., a weak curved beam and a micro-bent beam type optical fiber monitoring plate, are provided. A convenient and practical layout and installation mode is provided in the gallery, shaft and adit of the arch dam and dam foundation, so as to realize multi-dimensional and large-range online telemetry of the internal deformation of the arch dam-dam foundation-dam shoulder (radial-tangential horizontal displacement, vertical displacement). The file mainly discloses the installation content of the optical fiber sensing technology, but does not solve the technical problem of calculating the global horizontal displacement of the arch dam.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present application are described further below, but the scope of protection is not limited to the description.
[0037] Embodiment:
[0038] As shown in the figure, the arch dam arch ring 1 is consolidated on the bedrock, and according to the bending structure deformation theory of Materials Mechanics, the arch dam arch ring 1 causes material strain under the action of load such as reservoir water pressure, temperature load, etc., thereby causing body deflection change, i.e. horizontal displacement occurs. Therefore, the monitoring of the horizontal displacement of the arch dam arch ring 1 can be realized by monitoring the strain. Figure 3 The distributed sensing optical fiber technology can continuously sample at intervals of 0.5m on a continuous structure, and the strain measurement accuracy of each measurement unit is 30με.
[0039] According to the bending structure deformation theory of Materials Mechanics, the deformation of a structure is the continuous integral of strain in the length direction, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0040]
[0041]
[0042] In the formula: ΔL is the horizontal length change amount at the structure length L, ε i is the strain measurement value of the i-th section.
[0043] Based on the above theory, the implementation process of the present application is as follows:
[0044] As shown in the figure, a kind of arch dam global horizontal displacement monitoring method includes the process of obtaining arch end vector displacement and linear displacement of strain of any point of arch dam arch ring 1 to calculate arch dam global horizontal displacement by arch dam arch ring 1. Figure 1 、 2 As shown in the figure, a kind of arch dam global horizontal displacement monitoring method includes the process of obtaining arch end vector displacement and linear displacement of strain of any point of arch dam arch ring 1 to calculate arch dam global horizontal displacement by arch dam arch ring 1.
[0045] The arch ring groove 2 is arranged on the arch dam arch ring 1, the strain optical cable 3 is laid in the arch ring groove 2, and the inverted 4 is arranged at both ends of the arch dam arch ring 1, and the inverted 4 is perpendicular to the arch dam arch ring 1.
[0046] A kind of arch dam global horizontal displacement monitoring method, comprising the following steps:
[0047] S1: setting an arch groove 2 on the arch ring 1 of the arch dam which needs to observe the horizontal displacement, and laying a strain cable 3 in the arch groove 2, the arch groove 2 and the strain cable 3 are well coupled, the deformation is consistent, the deformation of the strain cable 3 can represent the deformation of the arch ring 1 of the arch dam, and the strain of any point of the strain cable 3 is obtained through a strain demodulator;
[0048] S2: setting a reverse vertical 4 at each end of the arch ring 1 of the arch dam, the reverse vertical 4 at each end is respectively set as point A and point B, monitoring the displacement of the points A and B, observing the horizontal displacement of the arch end of the arch ring 1 under the action of load, and providing a reference for strain integration;
[0049] S3: setting an arbitrary point C on the arch ring 1 of the arch dam which needs to monitor the horizontal displacement, measuring the deformation amount of the arc length from the point A to the point C and the arc length from the point B to the point C, and measuring the combined displacement of the point C;
[0050] S4: calculating the radial displacement and the tangential displacement of the arch ring 1 of the arch dam through the combined displacement of the point C, and obtaining the horizontal displacement condition of the whole arch dam.
[0051] The arc length from the point A to the point C is L1, and the deformation amount calculation formula of L1 is:
[0052]
[0053] The arc length from the point B to the point C is L2, and the deformation amount calculation formula of L2 is:
[0054]
[0055] In the formula, ΔL1 is the horizontal length change amount of the structure L1, ΔL2 is the horizontal length change amount of the structure L2, and ε(L) is the strain measurement value of L.
[0056] After monitoring the displacement of the points A and B, the points A' and B' are obtained, the arc length of A'C' is L1+ΔL1, and the arc length of B'C' is L2+ΔL2;
[0057] According to the geometric transformation method, the line segment of the arc length L1-ΔL1 rotates around the point A', the line segment of the arc length L2+ΔL2 rotates around the point B', and the intersection point of the line segment of the arc length L1+ΔL1 and the line segment of the arc length L2+ΔL2 is the deformed point C', and the vector length of CC' is the combined displacement ΔC of the point C.
[0058] In the calculation of the radial displacement and the tangential displacement of the arch ring 1 of the arch dam, the angle θ between the point C and the dam axis of the arch ring 1 of the arch dam is measured, the combined displacement ΔC is decomposed into the radial displacement and the tangential displacement of the arch ring 1 of the arch dam, and the radial displacement calculation formula is:
[0059] ΔCj=ΔC*sinθ
[0060] The tangential displacement calculation formula is:
[0061] ΔCq=ΔC*cosθ
[0062] In the formula, ΔCj is the radial displacement of the C point, and ΔCq is the tangential displacement of the C point.
[0063] The principle of the above calculation is as shown in Figure 3 In the calculation formula of the application, all arc length units are m, and all displacement units are mm. Full-automatic processing can be realized by using a computer. The horizontal displacement monitoring of any point of the arch dam arch ring 1 can be realized by the above method, which is an advantage that cannot be matched by point monitoring. Moreover, the method has a relatively low cost. Taking a medium-sized dam project as an example, assuming that the arc length of the dam top is 200 m, the total cost of the strain demodulator and the strain optical cable 3 is within 200,000 yuan, which is obviously superior to the traditional surface deformation monitoring and the vertical line method.
