Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dynamic simulation of construction processes, and in particular to a method for dynamic monitoring and early warning of slope excavation based on digital twins. Background Technology
[0002] Current slope monitoring and early warning systems mostly employ multi-source sensing combined with 3D geometric modeling and finite element simulation. Based on material parameter assignment, mesh generation, and boundary condition settings, they obtain the stress-displacement-pore pressure field, often supplemented by strength reduction or limit equilibrium assessments for stability. Parameters are then updated and corrected through cyclic calibration using historical-real-time data or Kalman-type methods, forming a closed-loop process of "monitoring-simulation-early warning." However, this process relies heavily on observational fitting in the data assimilation stage, making it difficult to simultaneously ensure strict compliance with both mechanical and seepage mechanism constraints.
[0003] However, these methods generally focus on observation fitting and lack a dual-consistency assimilation layer that combines observation consistency with physical conservation consistency, making them prone to "pseudo-fitting". Slip zone identification often relies on thresholds or geometric search and does not introduce a topologically constrained slip surface evolver that coordinates connectivity preservation, curvature continuity and interface reconstruction. Early warning is often based on empirical thresholds and lacks quantitative support for uncertainty cone domains constructed by assimilation samples, slip surface feasible regions and critical region scale factors, as well as threshold crossing probabilities, making it difficult to achieve stable and traceable hierarchical early warning.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a dynamic monitoring and early warning method for slope excavation based on digital twins is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0101] Embodiment 1:
[0102] In order to verify the feasibility of the application in implementation, the application is applied to the whole process dynamic monitoring and early warning work of a mountainous highway slope excavation. The geological conditions of this area are complex, the rock-soil layering is significant, the soft interlayer is developed, and the groundwater activity is frequent. There is a large deviation between the conventional finite element prediction result and the measured deformation, the slip zone position recognition is unstable, the early warning result is delayed, and the false positive rate is high. Therefore, the digital twin-based slope excavation dynamic monitoring and early warning method of the application is introduced to unify modeling and dynamically update the data flow, model evolution and risk assessment during excavation.
[0103] Multi-source sensing devices are laid out on site to continuously collect topographic point cloud, rock-soil layering, support parameters and pore pressure monitoring data. After time alignment, spatial registration and standardization processing, all data are input into the stage working condition library to drive the real-time evolution of the digital twin model. In the twin body construction stage, through the coordinated establishment of geometric twins and physical twins, the fine restoration of rock mass layering, interface contact and pore pressure distribution is realized. The initial displacement field and pore pressure field output by the finite element simulation are formed after boundary back propagation and rebalancing to form the twin baseline, which provides accurate initial conditions for subsequent double-consistency assimilation.
[0104] During excavation, the double-consistency assimilation mechanism proposed by the application is used to calculate the observation residual and the physical conservation residual respectively, form the joint structure of the observation consistency term and the physical consistency term, and through the synchronous update of state variables, boundary conditions and material properties, the virtual and real models realize collaborative convergence in the observation space and the physical space. The process automatically generates an assimilation sample set and forms a high-consistency twin body through statistics, providing reliable input for the sliding surface evolution.
[0105] Based on high consistency twin, the sliding zone is identified in the topological constraint slip surface evolution layer. Through the connectivity preservation rule and curvature threshold constraint, the slip surface is kept continuous and smooth in the topological structure, eliminating the false fracture and multi-branching problem commonly seen in traditional methods. After adaptive mesh refinement in the critical zone, the interface reconstruction generates an interface element set consistent with the actual sliding contact characteristics, forming a critical zone reinforcement model to provide a local high-resolution basis for subsequent uncertainty analysis.
[0106] In the early warning stage, the system constructs the displacement and seepage pressure uncertainty cone based on the assimilation sample set and the slip surface feasible region, and adjusts the spatial weight by using the critical zone scale factor to realize the probability quantization of the potential instability area. The threshold crossing probability is calculated to automatically generate a hierarchical warning result, showing the possible evolution range of the slip surface, the risk level and the time window. The actual application shows that this method can identify the potential sliding trend in advance, the prediction result is in good agreement with the measured deformation, the warning accuracy is significantly improved, and the virtual and real models remain stable and consistent for a long time.
[0107] In summary, the present application realizes the deep integration of digital twin and field monitoring under complex geological conditions, breaks through the limitations of fitting distortion, slip surface topological fracture and qualitative warning in traditional simulation prediction, and achieves the unified goal of high consistency simulation, topologically constrained evolution and quantitative warning, providing a reliable and traceable intelligent technical path for slope safety monitoring.
[0108] Table 1 Performance comparison of slope excavation dynamic monitoring and early warning method based on digital twin and traditional method
[0109]
[0110] As can be seen from Table 1, the double consistency-topologically constrained excavation twin simulation method (DCA-TSE) of the present application is significantly better than the traditional method in many key indicators. First, in terms of displacement prediction and pore pressure prediction error, the average error of the present application is reduced to about one third of the traditional finite element method, which shows that the double consistency assimilation mechanism effectively suppresses the error accumulation caused by simple observation fitting, so that the virtual and real models converge in the observation space and the physical space at the same time, and the prediction result is closer to the field measurement.
[0111] Secondly, in terms of slip surface identification accuracy and topological connectivity integrity, the DCA-TSE method relies on the topologically constrained slip surface evolution, realizes the geometric continuity and physical rationality of the slip surface through connectivity preservation and curvature threshold control, reduces the spatial deviation of the slip surface from 1.35 meters to 0.32 meters, and improves the connectivity integrity of the sliding zone to more than 97%. This improvement directly improves the geometric expression quality of the sliding area and avoids the false fracture problem commonly seen in traditional threshold identification.
[0112] In terms of early warning timeliness and accuracy, the uncertainty cone field based on assimilation sample set and critical zone scale factor is constructed, so that the risk assessment evolves from a single indicator to a joint probability model. The quantitative calculation of threshold crossing probability significantly improves the advance and reliability of early warning, which can output stable early warning signal about 8 hours earlier than the traditional method, and the early warning accuracy reaches more than 96%, providing sufficient response time for construction scheduling.
[0113] In addition, the application also performs excellently in virtual-real consistency index and calculation convergence efficiency. Through hierarchical updating and constraint screening mechanism, the model maintains the balance state of physical conservation and observation consistency after multiple rounds of assimilation iteration, and the overall virtual-real consistency is improved by about 13%, and the calculation convergence efficiency is improved to 2.2 times, which shows that it not only has higher accuracy, but also has more stable calculation process.
[0114] In summary, the DCA-TSE method of the application forms a fusion mode of data-driven and mechanism-driven through three innovation links of double consistency assimilation, topological constraint sliding surface evolution and uncertainty quantification, significantly improves the accuracy, real-time performance and interpretability of slope excavation monitoring and early warning, and provides high reliability technical support for safety management under complex geological environment.
[0115] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the application within the technical range disclosed by the application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
