[0024] Embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment of the invention provides a method for predicting settlement of roadbeds in saline-frozen soil, comprising the following steps: S1. Acquire multi-source monitoring data of the target saline-frozen soil subgrade. The multi-source monitoring data includes time-series observations of temperature, moisture content, electrical conductivity, stress and surface settlement along the depth, as well as surface remote sensing images. Furthermore, multi-source monitoring data is acquired collaboratively with a multi-parameter profile sensor array deployed at typical cross-sections of the target roadbed and a surface remote sensing device. Among them, the profile sensor array is arranged with multiple monitoring layers at equal or variable intervals along the depth direction. Each layer integrates a temperature sensor, a dielectric moisture content probe, a four-electrode conductivity probe and a soil pressure cell to synchronously collect temperature-humidity-salt-force coupled data at each depth point. Surface subsidence observation is achieved through continuous tracking using hydrostatic level, total station or synthetic aperture radar remote sensing technology; The surface remote sensing images were acquired by UAVs equipped with thermal infrared cameras and hyperspectral imagers, and were used to invert the spatial pattern of surface temperature field distribution and salinization index. After all monitoring data are timestamped and registered with coordinates, a multi-source heterogeneous dataset with spatiotemporal consistency is constructed, providing a data foundation for subsequent physical modeling and intelligent analysis. It should be noted that the multi-parameter profile sensor array is deployed to cover typical roadbed defect sections, and the sensor types are environmentally adaptable and can work stably for a long time under high salt, low temperature, and freeze-thaw cycle conditions. Timestamp alignment uses a unified time synchronization system to ensure that the data from each source are synchronized within the second level, and coordinate registration is achieved by correcting the spatial position with geographic reference points to achieve millimeter-level matching. This ensures strict correspondence of multi-source data in the spatiotemporal dimension and avoids distortion in subsequent modeling due to misalignment.
[0025] S2. Establish a physical mechanism model based on multi-source monitoring data to reflect the coupling effect of heat-water-salt-force in saline-frozen soil; Furthermore, based on the calibration relationship between measured electrical conductivity data and salt mass ratio, the electrical conductivity observations distributed along the depth are converted into salt mass ratio, where the salt mass ratio represents the mass fraction of soluble salts per unit mass of soil. Based on the experimental response relationship between temperature and unfrozen water content, an unfrozen water function is constructed that adjusts the inflection point position according to the change in salt mass ratio. Introducing a latent heat release term from phase change into the heat conduction governing equation The expression is: ; in, The latent heat of melting ice, This refers to the unfrozen water content. For time; A modified water flux expression is constructed by adding a freezing-point depression term driven by temperature gradient to the water migration equation, considering the weakening effect of salt on capillary potential, and the expression is: ; wherein, is water flux, is self-diffusion coefficient, is water content gradient, is thermal diffusion coefficient, is temperature gradient, is salt inhibition coefficient, is salt mass ratio; A stiffness degradation factor that decreases with the number of freeze-thaw cycles is introduced into the stress-strain relationship to construct a compression strain increment expression, and the expression is: ; wherein, is compression strain increment, is compression index, is effective stress increment, is current effective stress, is stiffness degradation factor, is number of freeze-thaw cycles; The above modified thermal, water and force control equations are coupled to form a physical mechanism model; It should be noted that the unfrozen water function in the physical mechanism model is calibrated based on indoor salted soil freeze-thaw experiment data, the inflection point temperature of which is nonlinearly left shifted with the salt mass ratio, truly reflecting the inhibitory effect of salt on freezing point, and the stiffness degradation factor is determined by the accelerated freeze-thaw cycle test to ensure the mechanical response of the model under long-term service conditions has engineering credibility, and all control equations satisfy the basic principles of mass conservation, energy conservation and momentum balance, forming a coupled system with clear physical meaning.

[0027] S4, spatial reconstruction is performed on the multi-source monitoring data to form two-dimensional profile images containing temperature field, humidity field and salt field, and the images are input into a convolutional neural network to extract spatial structure features; Further, the temperature, moisture content and salt mass ratio data of the multiple monitoring layers arranged along the depth are arranged in the vertical direction to generate a two-dimensional grid matrix with spatial coordinates; The two-dimensional grid matrix is subjected to interpolation processing to improve the spatial resolution and obtain continuously distributed temperature field, humidity field and salt field; The three types of field quantities are superimposed as a three-dimensional image tensor, wherein the first dimension corresponds to the depth direction, the second dimension corresponds to the time direction, and the third dimension corresponds to the physical field type; The image tensor is input into a convolutional neural network with an encoder-decoder structure, and local gradient, frozen front position and salt enrichment zone morphological features are extracted step by step through multiple convolution kernels; A low-dimensional feature map is output, wherein each spatial unit corresponds to the state representation of a certain section in the subgrade profile; It should be noted that the spatial resolution of the two-dimensional grid matrix is not less than half of the vertical spacing of the sensor, the interpolation method uses piecewise spline interpolation considering the discontinuity of frozen soil phase change, avoids false smoothing, the channel arrangement order of the three-dimensional image tensor is fixed, ensures that the convolution kernel learns stable cross-field correlation features, the encoder-decoder structure contains a skip connection, effectively preserves shallow detail information, and enables key interface features such as freezing fronts to be accurately expressed in low-dimensional feature maps.
[0028] S5, constructing a graph structure data by using a spatial structure feature, modeling mutual influence relationships between different salted regions by a graph neural network, and outputting a settlement tendency distribution; Further, each spatial unit in the feature map is regarded as a graph node, and an undirected graph is constructed, wherein a node set is composed of all feature units, and an edge set is composed of node pairs that are adjacent or have thermal correlation; The edge weight is set according to the Euclidean distance between nodes and the difference in physical properties, and is used to reflect the difficulty of heat transfer and water migration, and the expression is: ; wherein, is the edge weight between nodes and node , is the Euclidean distance between two nodes, is the absolute value of the difference in salt mass ratio between two nodes, , is a decay parameter; The feature vector corresponding to the node is taken as the initial state, and a graph attention network is used for message passing, and the expression is: ; wherein, is the updated state vector of node , is the neighbor set of node , is an attention coefficient, is a learnable weight matrix, is the state vector of neighbor node , is an activation function.
[0029] After multiple rounds of iterative updates, the final node state is mapped to a settlement tendency score, and the settlement tendency distribution map of the entire profile is generated by splicing; It should be noted that the connection of the edges in the graph structure is not limited to geometric adjacency. For nodes that have potential heat conduction paths but are not physically adjacent, remote edges are introduced according to the thermal conductivity and permeability coefficient of the soil layer to reflect non-local interaction. The attention coefficient is calculated through a multi-head mechanism to enhance the model's ability to capture complex influence relationships between heterogeneous salted subareas and avoid modeling bias caused by fixed weights in traditional graph networks.
[0030] S6, the settlement response prediction sub-model is fused with the settlement tendency distribution to form a joint prediction framework, and after pre-training in the non-saline frozen soil area, the joint prediction framework is migrated to the target road section to realize model adaptation using limited measured data; Further, the time series settlement value output by the settlement response prediction sub-model is aligned with the settlement tendency distribution in the spatial dimension to form a dual-channel prediction result. A fusion module is designed to linearly combine the two prediction results through learnable weights. The fusion process expression is: ; Wherein, is the fusion settlement prediction value, is the time series settlement value output by the settlement response prediction sub-model, is the spatial average value of the settlement tendency distribution, , is the learnable fusion weight. The fusion module and its sub-model are trained as a whole using a large amount of measured data in the non-saline frozen soil area to obtain a basic prediction model with general freeze-thaw response capability. The basic prediction model is migrated to the target saline frozen soil road section, the bottom layer parameters of the convolutional neural network and the graph neural network are fixed, and only the fusion weight and the output layer bias are fine-tuned. The measured settlement data in the limited period of the target road section is used to complete parameter adjustment to obtain a customized prediction model. It should be noted that the learnable weight of the fusion module has converged to a reasonable range during the pre-training phase, and the fine-tuning after migration only needs a small number of iterations to complete the adaptation, avoiding overfitting. The bottom layer parameter freezing strategy effectively preserves the general freeze-thaw response features learned from the non-saline area, while the top adjustable parameters focus on capturing salt-specific environment characteristics, achieving a balance between knowledge transfer and individual adaptation, and improving the deployment efficiency and reliability of the model in new road sections.
[0031] S7, based on the adapted joint prediction framework, a roadbed settlement prediction result is generated, and model dynamic updating and risk warning output are completed through continuous access to new monitoring data. Furthermore, using the current monitoring data as input, a customized prediction model is used to generate a daily settlement prediction sequence for future periods; Calculate the sliding slope of the predicted sequence as an indicator of settlement rate; Three warning thresholds are set: a yellow warning is issued when the settlement rate exceeds the first threshold, an orange warning is issued when it exceeds the second threshold, and a red warning is issued when it exceeds the third threshold. The warning signal, along with the prediction curve, is pushed to the operation and maintenance management terminal. The latest measured data is automatically injected at fixed intervals to recalculate the model prediction residuals. If the residuals continue to exceed the set tolerance, the model retraining process is triggered to ensure long-term stability of prediction accuracy. It should be noted that the length of the sliding slope calculation window is matched with the roadbed freeze-thaw cycle to avoid short-term noise interference with early warning judgment. The three-level early warning threshold is calibrated based on historical settlement events and engineering safety standards, and has clear engineering basis. The model retraining process includes data quality screening and residual attribution analysis to prevent abnormal data from misleading parameter updates and to ensure the long-term stability of the system and the credibility of the prediction results.
