Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power transmission tower construction, in particular to a soil thickness prediction method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the survey and design stage of the pile foundation engineering of the power transmission line tower, accurately obtaining the soil thickness distribution of the construction area is a key prerequisite to ensure that the pile foundation can be seated on the stable bedrock, and this information is directly related to the safety and economy of the project.

[0003] At present, in the engineering practice, the soil thickness prediction of the area between the drilling points mainly relies on the spatial interpolation method based on geostatistics, among which the ordinary Kriging method is the representative. The core idea of this method is "spatial autocorrelation", that is, it is believed that the points adjacent in space have similar attribute values. In operation, a semi-variogram function model is fitted according to the spatial position and soil thickness data of the known drilling points, so as to quantify the law of the change of spatial correlation with distance. Finally, the value of the point to be predicted is obtained by weighted average of the measured values of the surrounding known points, and the weight is completely determined by the spatial distance relationship between the known points and the point to be predicted.

[0004] However, this method has the following key problems in actual application, especially in complex mountainous areas: 1) the prediction result is out of touch with the physical cause. The distribution of soil thickness is not determined by simple geometric distance, but is jointly controlled by many physical and biological factors such as topography, lithology, erosion and accumulation process, vegetation cover, etc. For example, a point located on a ridge and a point located in an adjacent valley, although the spatial distance is very close, due to the erosion of the ridge and the accumulation of the valley, the soil thickness of the two points will be very different. The ordinary Kriging method cannot identify the difference in cause, and only gives high weight because the two points are close in distance, resulting in a large prediction error in these key topographic parts; 2) the precision is insufficient in the key engineering area. The tower site of the power transmission line is often arranged in the ridge, slope and other shallow soil layer areas, which are the areas of spatial variability of soil thickness. The low precision prediction of the traditional prediction method in these areas cannot reliably guide the pile foundation site selection, which may lead to the risk of the pile foundation seated in the soft soil layer or the over-conservative excessive drilling in the subsequent exploration, resulting in unnecessary increase of engineering cost and time.

[0005] Therefore, we provide a soil thickness prediction method and system to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
