Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building safety monitoring, and in particular to a real-time dynamic monitoring and early warning system and method for house crack deformation. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of civil engineering and building safety, the stability and durability of buildings have always been key concerns for engineers and researchers. Foundation engineering and structural health monitoring are important research areas for ensuring the long-term safety of buildings. Within this niche area, house crack monitoring is a key technical approach used to assess whether a building has experienced abnormal deformation, material degradation, foundation settlement, or external environmental impacts. Currently, intelligent crack monitoring and early warning systems are widely used in high-rise buildings, older homes, bridges, and other structures. However, the expansion of house cracks is not solely caused by structural loads; groundwater level fluctuations are also a key but often overlooked influencing factor. In areas where the groundwater level fluctuates periodically, the expansion and contraction of the foundation soil can lead to uneven settlement of the building foundation, which in turn triggers the expansion of cracks in walls, beams, and columns. Therefore, studying the impact of groundwater level fluctuations on house crack deformation and establishing an effective real-time monitoring and early warning system are of great significance for improving building safety and service life.
[0003] In the Chinese invention patent application publication number CN119268562A, a method and system for monitoring cracks in house walls are disclosed, which include: S1, continuously collecting wall surface image data through an image acquisition module; S2, analyzing the collected wall surface image data through an analysis control module, obtaining a curve of wall hazard characteristic value changes over time, and judging whether to generate a wall hazard warning signal; the invention analyzes the collected wall surface image data through an analysis control module, obtains a curve of wall hazard characteristic value changes over time, and then judges whether to generate a wall hazard warning signal, and warns house wall monitoring personnel. In this way, the purpose of accurately and objectively monitoring house wall cracks can be achieved, avoiding the subjective judgment in the manual observation process, and can monitor house wall cracks in real time, thereby improving the accuracy of wall crack monitoring.
[0004] The above method can monitor cracks in house walls in real time, improving the accuracy of wall crack monitoring. However, in addition to this, the existing house wall crack monitoring method mainly focuses on the geometric characteristics of the cracks themselves (such as width, depth and length), and judges whether the house is in a dangerous state by real-time monitoring of the geometric characteristics of the cracks.
[0005] However, although this method can determine whether a house is in a dangerous state, it fails to fully consider the external causes of cracks, such as the impact of groundwater level changes on the foundation. In soft soil areas, groundwater levels fluctuate more frequently, and foundation soil is prone to expansion and contraction, causing uneven settlement. However, due to the lack of groundwater monitoring data support for the crack monitoring system, it is often difficult to identify the true cause of crack expansion.
[0006] To this end, the present invention provides a real-time dynamic monitoring and early warning system and method for house crack deformation. Summary of the Invention

The specific assessment contents are as follows:
[0141] If the future time Crack width Less than or equal to the first crack safety threshold , then it is determined that the future safety status of the house is in normal state and no treatment is required;
[0142] If the future time Crack width Greater than the first crack safety threshold , and is less than the second crack safety threshold , then the future safety status of the house is judged to be at risk. At this time, the frequency of house crack inspection is increased from once a month to once a week. The house foundation settlement is also inspected, groundwater level fluctuations are observed, and foundation drainage measures are implemented.

At this time, the people in the house are immediately notified to evacuate the room, and the alarm is immediately called to activate the emergency response mechanism to reinforce the structure of the house. Among them, the structural reinforcement of the house includes using high-strength epoxy resin and polymer mortar to seal cracks, adding steel plates and carbon fiber reinforcement layers in areas where cracks are concentrated, and performing high-pressure grouting to stabilize the foundation.
[0144] The following are some examples:
[0145] Assume that a residential building in a soft soil area has a property management system that has introduced a real-time dynamic monitoring and early warning system for house cracks and deformations. Data related to house cracks and groundwater levels has been collected over the past six months, as shown in Table 2:
[0146] Table 2
[0147] Use linear regression to predict crack growth rates over the next three months and the water level change influencing factor Ψ, the results are shown in Table 3:
[0148] Table 3
[0149] It is known that the width of the crack in the house in February 2025 is 4.1mm. =0.2, =0.8, =0.02, calculate the crack width in May 2025 based on Table 2 and Table 3 above :
[0150]
[0151] Setting the first crack safety threshold and the second crack safety threshold The crack widths are 5.0mm and 6.0mm respectively, which means the crack widths in May 2025 Greater than the first crack safety threshold , and is less than the second crack safety threshold , it is determined that the safety of the house is at risk in May 2025. At this time, it is necessary to immediately increase the frequency of crack monitoring to once a week, detect the foundation settlement, and carry out foundation drainage treatment.
[0152] In the embodiment, a time series model is constructed by linear regression method, and the historical groundwater level data and house crack expansion data are combined to accurately predict the future time point. The crack growth rate and future time points The water level change factors , dynamically analyze the long-term evolution of crack expansion, evaluate the future safety status of the house, improve the foresight and reliability of crack warning, and through the warning unit, the system presets the first crack safety threshold and the second crack safety threshold , and based on future time points Crack width Based on the prediction results, the system divides the house safety status into three types: normal, risky and dangerous, and provides scientific and reasonable response measures for different risk levels. For houses with cracks in a risky state, the system will automatically increase the frequency of crack detection, and combined with groundwater level monitoring and foundation settlement detection, timely take measures such as foundation drainage to slow down the expansion of cracks; when the cracks reach a dangerous state, the system can immediately alarm and notify the house occupants to evacuate, and initiate emergency reinforcement measures, such as using epoxy resin to fill cracks, carbon fiber reinforced structure reinforcement, and high-pressure grouting to stabilize the foundation, to ensure the long-term stability of the house structure. Through the crack change prediction model + dynamic early warning mechanism, accurate prediction, intelligent decision-making and active protection are achieved, which not only reduces sudden house safety accidents caused by crack expansion, but also reduces house maintenance costs and improves the service life and safety of buildings.

[0155] In the embodiment, by collecting crack change data for a period of time in the future and comparing it with the predicted value, the prediction error is calculated, and then the crack change prediction model is adjusted. Compared with the traditional fixed parameter model, the system has self-learning ability and can dynamically correct the prediction parameters according to the latest crack change trend, optimize the model accuracy, ensure the rationality of the reinforcement plan, avoid ineffective maintenance, and reduce resource waste. Ultimately, it improves the intelligence level of crack monitoring, enhances the scientific nature of housing safety management, and provides accurate decision-making support for structural maintenance.

Combined with the house safety assessment, safety anomalies can be identified in advance, and the soil expansion factor Tr and the water level change influence factor Ψ can be calculated to provide scientific support for crack prediction.
