Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of data processing technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for assessing the impact range of sand liquefaction. Background Technology
[0002] Soil liquefaction is the phenomenon of saturated sand losing strength and stiffness under seismic loading, posing a serious threat to the safety of engineering structures. In site investigation and seismic design, it is necessary to assess the potential area of liquefaction in order to implement targeted anti-liquefaction measures. Currently, widely used liquefaction assessment methods in engineering practice, such as the simplified method based on the standard penetration test (SPT), can provide a judgment on whether liquefaction has occurred at a single borehole location. However, these methods are single-point assessments. For the entire site, the boundary lines of the liquefaction influence area need to be manually delineated based on the assessment results of a limited number of boreholes. Their accuracy and reliability are limited by the engineer's experience and judgment, are highly subjective, and fail to reflect the continuous changing characteristics of liquefaction risk within the site. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, apparatus, equipment and medium for assessing the impact range of sand liquefaction, which solves the problems in the prior art.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for assessing the impact range of sand liquefaction, including:

[0024] The total sand mass percentage is calculated based on the mass percentages of fine sand, medium sand, and coarse sand.
[0025] The correction increment is determined based on the ratio of the mass percentage of coarse sand to the mass percentage of total sand.
[0026] Based on the aforementioned correction increment, the particle size distribution correction coefficient is obtained;
[0027] The basic safety factor is corrected based on the particle size distribution correction factor to obtain the corrected safety factor.
[0028] Preferably, obtaining the liquefaction index for each borehole location based on the range of corrected safety factors within which the corrected safety factor for each borehole location falls, and the liquefaction index corresponding to the range of corrected safety factors, includes:
[0029] When the corrected safety factor is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the liquefaction index takes the first preset value;
[0030] When the safety factor is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, the liquefaction index takes the second preset value, which is less than the first preset value.
[0031] When the corrected safety factor is between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, a proportional value is obtained based on the first difference between the corrected safety factor and the first preset threshold, the second difference between the second preset threshold and the first preset threshold, and the ratio of the first difference and the second difference.

[0043] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device, including: at least one processor, at least one memory, and computer program instructions stored in the memory, which, when executed by the processor, implement the method of the first aspect described above.
[0044] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a storage medium storing computer program instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the method of the first aspect described above.
[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0046] By introducing the proportion of coarse sand mass to correct the basic safety factor, the actual contribution of coarse sand content to the soil's drainage capacity and liquefaction resistance can be quantitatively considered on the basis of the traditional liquefaction safety factor calculation method. This makes the corrected safety factor more accurately reflect the true liquefaction risk state of the soil and avoids overly conservative assessments caused by ignoring the influence of coarse sand.
[0047] By converting the modified safety factor into a liquefaction index, continuous safety factor values are mapped to a standardized probability scale between 0 and 1, making the liquefaction risks between different boreholes comparable. At the same time, it provides input data with a unified dimension for subsequent spatial interpolation, which facilitates risk extrapolation for continuous areas.
[0048] By using spatial interpolation to extend the liquefaction index of discrete borehole points into a continuous grid distribution map of the entire site, the shortcomings of traditional single-point discrimination methods that cannot directly generate a planar map of the liquefaction influence range are overcome. This avoids the experience and arbitrariness of manually drawing boundaries and improves the objectivity and repeatability of the influence range delineation.
[0049] By introducing a geological complexity index to weight and correct the interpolation results, the risk assessment of local areas can be adjusted according to the actual non-uniformity of the site (such as lenses, interlayers, faults, or groundwater level fluctuations). This improves the adaptability and accuracy of the liquefaction index distribution map under different geological conditions, making the assessment results in complex sites more reasonable.
[0050] By combining the preset risk zoning thresholds to output a liquefaction impact range prediction layer, the continuous liquefaction index is transformed into a zoning map that can be directly used in engineering. This provides a clear spatial range basis for the targeted deployment of anti-liquefaction measures and reduces the ambiguity in engineering decision-making. Attached Figure Description

[0058] Example 1
[0059] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a method for assessing the impact range of sand liquefaction, including:
[0060] S1. Based on the soil physical parameters obtained from multiple borehole locations within the target area, calculate the actual cyclic stress ratio and critical cyclic stress ratio for each borehole location.
[0061] The actual cyclic stress ratio is a value characterizing the ratio of the cyclic shear stress level generated in the soil under seismic loading to the initial effective stress. It can be calculated using the Seed simplified method formula.
[0062] The critical cyclic stress ratio is a measure of the soil's ability to resist liquefaction, and it can be calculated using the NCEER empirical formula.
[0063] For each borehole location, the obtained soil physical parameters may include: the standard penetration test blow count (SPT) measured and corrected by the standard penetration test; the fine particle content, fine sand mass percentage, medium sand mass percentage, and coarse sand mass percentage obtained by sieve analysis; and the peak ground acceleration, magnitude, borehole depth, and unit weight of the soil layer obtained by seismic hazard analysis.
[0064] By calculating the actual cyclic stress ratio and the critical cyclic stress ratio respectively, the intensity of seismic action and the soil's resistance to liquefaction can be quantitatively compared.
[0065] In some implementations, the calculation of the actual cyclic stress at each borehole location includes:
[0066] For each borehole location, the product value is obtained based on the ratio of peak ground acceleration to gravitational acceleration in the soil physical parameters corresponding to the borehole location and a preset coefficient.
[0067] Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is the numerical value describing the maximum ground motion acceleration in the site ground motion parameters, denoted as . The unit is gravitational acceleration. A multiple of. Gravitational acceleration. These are standard physical constants. The preset coefficient is an empirical constant derived from the Seed simplification method, with a value of 0.65. The dimensionless acceleration ratio is obtained by dividing the peak ground acceleration by the gravitational acceleration, and then multiplied by the preset coefficient 0.65 to obtain the product. This product reflects the fundamental contribution of seismic intensity to the cyclic shear stress of the soil.
[0068] The stress ratio is obtained by taking the ratio of the total vertical stress to the effective vertical stress at the borehole depth in the soil physical parameters.
[0069] Among them, the total vertical stress This is the total pressure generated by the weight of the upper soil column at the borehole depth, including contributions from soil particles and pore water. Effective vertical stress. This is the total vertical stress minus the pore water pressure, representing the actual pressure borne by the soil skeleton. Stress ratio This is used to convert the surface acceleration reduction effect to a specified depth, because the shear stress generated at a deeper depth by the same surface acceleration needs to be amplified by this ratio.
[0070] The depth reduction factor is calculated based on the borehole depth using a preset depth reduction factor formula.
[0071] Among them, the depth reduction factor This is a factor that decreases with increasing depth, used to correct for the distribution error of shear stress along depth under the assumption of a rigid body. The preset depth reduction factor formula is a linear relationship: ,in The value represents the borehole depth in meters. This formula is applicable to depths not exceeding 20 meters. The depth reduction factor calculated using this formula reflects the decrease in shear stress with depth in actual soil during earthquakes.
[0072] The actual cyclic stress ratio is obtained by multiplying the product value, the stress ratio, and the depth reduction factor.
[0073] The actual cyclic stress ratio is obtained by multiplying the product value, stress ratio, and depth reduction factor obtained from the above three steps in sequence. Its complete expression is: This ratio represents the depth under design seismic loading. The ratio of the equivalent cyclic shear stress to the initial effective stress experienced by the soil is a key input parameter for subsequent liquefaction risk assessment.
[0074] Through the above step-by-step calculations, the actual cyclic stress ratio at each borehole location can be accurately calculated based on the site seismic parameters and soil profile data, providing seismic input for determining liquefaction risk.
[0075] In some implementations, calculating the critical cyclic stress ratio for each borehole location includes:
[0076] For each borehole location, a first intermediate value is calculated based on the standard penetration blow count in the soil physical parameters corresponding to the borehole location;
[0077] Among them, standard penetration strikes This is the hammer blow count after overlying pressure correction, used to characterize the compaction of sand. The first intermediate value can be... When the standard penetration number is less than 30, it increases as the number of blows increases.
[0078] A second intermediate value is calculated based on the standard penetration number, and the second intermediate value increases linearly with the increase of the standard penetration number.
[0079] The second intermediate value can be This value increases linearly with the standard penetration blow count, reflecting the positive contribution of the penetration blow count to the resistance to liquefaction intensity.
[0080] A third intermediate value is calculated based on the standard penetration number, and the third intermediate value decreases according to a second preset function as the standard penetration number increases.
[0081] The third intermediate value can be It decreases rapidly as the number of standard penetration blows increases, indicating that the contribution of this term gradually weakens when the number of blows is high.
[0082] The first intermediate value and the second intermediate value are added together, and then the third intermediate value is subtracted to obtain the basic critical cyclic stress ratio.
[0083] The first and second intermediate values are summed, then the third intermediate value is subtracted, and finally a constant (such as 1 / 200) is subtracted to obtain the critical cyclic stress ratio of the foundation. This foundation value represents the soil's resistance to liquefaction without considering the influence of fine particle content.
[0084] The incremental correction value is calculated based on the fine particle content in the soil physical parameters.
[0085] Among them, fine particulate content This represents the percentage of particles with a diameter less than 0.075 mm by mass. The incremental correction value is calculated as follows: when the fine particle content is less than the first threshold, the correction value is proportional to the fine particle content; when the fine particle content exceeds the second threshold, the correction value tends to stabilize. Specifically, a piecewise linear function is used: when the fine particle content is between 5% and 20%, it increases linearly with the increase of the fine particle content; when it is greater than 20%, it remains constant.
[0086] The critical cyclic stress ratio is obtained based on the basic critical cyclic stress ratio and the incremental correction value.
[0087] The critical cyclic stress ratio is obtained by adding the basic critical cyclic stress ratio to the incremental correction value. This value comprehensively reflects the liquefaction resistance of sand under the combined effects of standard penetration test blow count and fine particle content. Through the above step-by-step calculation, the critical cyclic stress ratio at each borehole location can be quickly estimated using standard penetration test data obtained from conventional exploration, serving as the basis for subsequent safety factor calculations.
[0088] S2. Calculate the basic safety factor based on the ratio of the critical cyclic stress ratio to the actual cyclic stress ratio;
[0089] The basic safety factor is a dimensionless ratio obtained by dividing the critical cyclic stress ratio by the actual cyclic stress ratio. A coefficient greater than 1 indicates that the soil's resistance to liquefaction is greater than that under seismic action, while a coefficient less than 1 indicates that seismic action exceeds its resistance to liquefaction.
[0090] The basic safety factor is obtained by dividing the critical cyclic stress ratio at each borehole location obtained in S1 by the corresponding actual cyclic stress ratio. The smaller this factor, the higher the risk of liquefaction. By calculating the basic safety factor, the liquefaction tendency at each borehole location can be preliminarily determined.
[0091] S3. Based on the proportion of coarse sand at each drilling location, the basic safety factor is corrected to obtain the corrected safety factor;
[0092] The coarse sand mass ratio refers to the percentage of the total mass of the soil sample whose particle size falls within the third preset particle size range.
[0093] The corrected safety factor is the value obtained by multiplying the basic safety factor by the particle size distribution correction factor.
[0094] Obtain the mass percentages of fine sand, medium sand, and coarse sand from sieve analysis. Calculate the particle size distribution correction factor based on the coarse sand mass percentage; this factor increases with increasing coarse sand mass percentage. Multiply the basic safety factor by this correction factor to obtain the corrected safety factor. A higher coarse sand percentage results in a larger corrected safety factor, indicating that the liquefaction risk at the borehole location is considered lower than the basic calculation value after correction. By incorporating the coarse sand mass percentage for correction, the assessment results better reflect the actual physical behavior of the soil.
[0095] In some embodiments, the step of correcting the basic safety factor based on the proportion of coarse sand at each borehole location to obtain a corrected safety factor includes:
[0096] The total sand mass percentage is calculated based on the mass percentages of fine sand, medium sand, and coarse sand.
[0097] Among them, the proportion of fine sand in mass This represents the percentage of the total mass of the soil sample containing particles with a diameter between 0.075 mm and 0.25 mm. Medium sand mass percentage. This represents the percentage by mass of particles with a diameter between 0.25 mm and 0.5 mm. Coarse sand mass percentage. This represents the percentage by mass of particles with a diameter between 0.5 mm and 2.0 mm. Adding these three percentages together gives the total sand mass percentage. This value represents the percentage of the total mass of all sand particles (excluding fine particles).
[0098] The correction increment is determined based on the ratio of the mass percentage of coarse sand to the mass percentage of total sand.
[0099] Among them, the ratio of the mass percentage of coarse sand to the mass percentage of total sand is calculated, i.e. This ratio reflects the relative abundance of coarse sand in the sand grains. The correction increment is this ratio multiplied by a preset second coefficient, for example, 0.5, i.e., increment = When the proportion of coarse sand is high, the correction increment is large; when there is no coarse sand, the correction increment is zero.
[0100] Based on the aforementioned correction increment, the particle size distribution correction coefficient is obtained;
[0101] Among them, the particle size distribution correction coefficient It equals 1 plus the above correction increment, that is The higher the coarse sand content, the larger the correction coefficient, reflecting the physical law that coarse-grained soil has improved drainage capacity and enhanced resistance to liquefaction.
[0102] The basic safety factor is corrected based on the particle size distribution correction factor to obtain the corrected safety factor.
[0103] Among them, the basic safety factor Multiply by particle size distribution correction factor The corrected safety factor is obtained. The basic safety factor is the ratio of the critical cyclic stress ratio to the actual cyclic stress ratio. Multiplying it by a correction factor greater than 1 increases the safety factor, meaning that after considering the beneficial effects of coarse sand, the actual safety margin is improved and the liquefaction risk is reduced. The corrected safety factor will serve as the basis for subsequent calculations of the liquefaction index.
[0104] Through the above correction steps, boreholes with higher coarse sand content are considered safer (i.e., have a higher safety factor) under the same standard penetration test (SPT) blow count and fine grain content conditions, thus reflecting the contribution of coarse sand to resist liquefaction in the liquefaction index and spatial distribution. This correction is based on engineering experience and is applicable to particle size classification indicators available in conventional exploration data.
[0105] S4. Based on the range of corrected safety factors for each borehole location and the liquefaction index corresponding to the range of corrected safety factors, obtain the liquefaction index for each borehole location.
[0106] The liquefaction index is a dimensionless value that maps the modified safety factor to a preset range, used to characterize the probability or degree of liquefaction. The higher the index, the higher the risk of liquefaction.
[0107] The corrected safety factor for each borehole location is compared with a pre-set first and second preset threshold. When the corrected safety factor is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the liquefaction index is set to the first preset value, indicating a high liquefaction risk. When the corrected safety factor is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, the liquefaction index is set to the second preset value, indicating a low liquefaction risk. When the corrected safety factor falls between the first and second preset thresholds, the liquefaction index is calculated using a monotonic function interpolation, with the corrected safety factor as the independent variable and the liquefaction index as the dependent variable. By converting continuous corrected safety factors into discrete, graded liquefaction indices, subsequent spatial interpolation and risk zoning are facilitated.
[0108] In some embodiments, obtaining the liquefaction index for each borehole location based on the range of corrected safety factors for each borehole location and the liquefaction index corresponding to the corrected safety factor range includes:
[0109] When the corrected safety factor is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the liquefaction index takes the first preset value;
[0110] Among them, the corrected safety factor This is the safety factor after adjusting for the proportion of coarse sand; a higher value indicates greater safety. The first preset threshold is the critical value for judging high liquefaction risk and can be less than 1, such as 0.8. When the adjusted safety factor is lower than this threshold, it indicates that the soil's resistance to liquefaction is severely insufficient, and the risk of liquefaction is extremely high. In this case, the liquefaction index is taken as the first preset value, such as 0.95, representing a high probability of liquefaction.
[0111] When the safety factor is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, the liquefaction index takes the second preset value, which is less than the first preset value.
[0112] The second preset threshold is a critical value for judging low liquefaction risk, and can be greater than 1, such as 1.2. When the corrected safety factor is higher than this threshold, it indicates that the soil has sufficient resistance to liquefaction and the liquefaction risk is extremely low. At this time, the liquefaction index is taken as the second preset value, such as 0.05, representing a low liquefaction probability.
[0113] When the corrected safety factor is between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, a proportional value is obtained based on the first difference between the corrected safety factor and the first preset threshold, the second difference between the second preset threshold and the first preset threshold, and the ratio of the first difference and the second difference.
[0114] Specifically, when the corrected safety factor falls within the middle range, a linear interpolation method is used to continuously map the safety factor to the liquefaction index. Specifically, the difference between the corrected safety factor and a first preset threshold is calculated as the first difference value. The difference between a second preset threshold and the first preset threshold is calculated as the second difference value. The first difference value is divided by the second difference value to obtain a proportional value. This proportional value is between 0 and 1; when the corrected safety factor is close to the first preset threshold, the proportional value is close to 0, and when it is close to the second preset threshold, the proportional value is close to 1.
[0115] The liquefaction index is obtained by linearly interpolating the ratio value between the first preset value and the second preset value.
[0116] The liquefaction index is obtained by multiplying the proportional value by the difference between the second and first preset values, and then adding the first preset value. That is, liquefaction index = first preset value + proportional value × (second preset value - first preset value). Since the second preset value is less than the first preset value, this interpolation result decreases as the safety factor increases. This linear interpolation allows for a smooth transition between high and low risk levels.
[0117] The piecewise function described above converts the continuous safety factor into a liquefaction index between a first preset value and a second preset value. This index quantifies the liquefaction probability or risk level at each borehole location, facilitating subsequent spatial interpolation and risk zoning.
[0118] S5. Based on the liquefaction index of all borehole locations and the preset geological complexity index, obtain the spatial distribution map of the liquefaction index of the target area.
[0119] The geological complexity index is a quantitative parameter reflecting the degree of drastic changes in site strata, the range of changes in groundwater level depth, and the presence of faults or lenses. The geological complexity index is pre-set based on the degree of drastic changes in strata, the range of changes in groundwater level depth, and the presence of faults or lenses. For example, a first preset index value is used for simple sites, and a second preset index value is used for complex sites, where:
[0120] The criteria for classifying a site as simple are as follows: the soil layers within the site are uniformly and continuously distributed in the depth direction, without obvious pinch-outs or lenses; the main soil layer is a single layer or a sand layer with stable bedding, with minimal variation in layer thickness; the variation in groundwater level depth within the site is less than a preset depth variation threshold, and there are no local groundwater level anomalies (such as confined water or perched water zones); no active faults pass through the site, or the faults are located at a distance greater than a preset safety distance from the site boundary. When all the above conditions are met, the site is classified as a simple site, and the geological complexity index is set to the first preset index value. The criteria for classifying a site as complex are as follows: the site contains at least one of the following characteristics: uneven soil layer distribution, with the presence of lenses, interlayers, pinch-outs, or drastic phase transitions; the variation in groundwater level depth exceeds a preset depth variation threshold, or there are local groundwater level anomalies; an active fault passes through the site, or the faults are located at a distance less than a preset safety distance from the site boundary. When any one of these conditions is met, the site is classified as a complex site, and the geological complexity index is set to the second preset index value. In specific assessments, stratigraphic comparisons are conducted using stratigraphic profiles revealed by boreholes. The top and bottom depth variations of the same stratigraphic level in each borehole are statistically analyzed, and the standard deviation or coefficient of variation of the stratigraphic thickness is calculated. When the coefficient of variation exceeds a preset threshold, the stratigraphic level is deemed complex. Groundwater level changes are evaluated by the ratio of the range of stable water level measurements from each borehole to the average burial depth; if this ratio exceeds a preset threshold, the groundwater level is deemed complex. Fault activity is determined based on regional geological data and field investigations.
[0121] The liquefaction index spatial distribution map is a raster map obtained by extending the liquefaction index of discrete borehole points to the entire continuous region through spatial interpolation.
[0122] Spatial interpolation extends the evaluation results of discrete borehole points to the entire site, overcoming the limitation of traditional single-point discrimination in generating continuous distribution maps. Multiplying by a geological complexity index allows for weighted correction of local areas under complex geological conditions, making the distribution map more consistent with actual geological characteristics.
[0123] In some embodiments, obtaining the spatial distribution map of the liquefaction index of the target area based on the liquefaction index of all borehole locations and a preset geological complexity index includes:
[0124] Using the planar coordinates and liquefaction index of all borehole locations as known points, a preset interpolation algorithm is used to perform spatial interpolation to obtain the interpolated liquefaction index of each grid node.
[0125] The planar coordinates of the borehole locations are the two-dimensional coordinates of each borehole's projection onto the Earth's surface, obtained through measurement, and are denoted as... The preset interpolation algorithm can be a spatial statistical method used to estimate the value at an unknown location based on the values at discrete known points. This includes inverse distance weighting and Kriging. The principle of spatial interpolation is that the closer a location is to a known point, the closer its estimated value is to that known point; the farther away it is, the smaller the influence. The entire target area is divided into regular grids, each grid cell having a central node. For each grid node, the interpolated liquefaction index is calculated by weighted averaging based on the liquefaction indices of known borehole points around it. This process yields a continuous probability surface covering the entire region, where each grid location corresponds to an interpolated liquefaction risk estimate.
[0126] The final liquefaction index raster value is obtained based on the interpolated liquefaction index of each raster node and the preset geological complexity index.
[0127] Among them, the geological complexity index It is a pre-defined parameter that varies with spatial location, reflecting the degree of heterogeneity of the strata at that location. In simple sites, Take the first preset index value, such as 1.0, which means the interpolation result can be used directly. In complex sites, A second preset index value, such as 1.5, is chosen to indicate that these complex factors increase the uncertainty or local differences in liquefaction risk, thus requiring amplification and weighting of the interpolation results. Final liquefaction index raster value. The result is obtained by multiplying the interpolated liquefaction index by the geological complexity index: After multiplication, if the result exceeds 1.0, it is rounded to 1.0. This allows for a more conservative assessment of risk in complex geological areas, where relatively high risk estimates are amplified to reflect uncertainties; in simpler areas, the interpolation results are used directly. The resulting raster map is the spatial distribution map of the liquefaction index for the target area, and the value of each raster cell can be directly used for subsequent risk zoning and impact delineation. By extending the liquefaction assessment results of discrete borehole points to a continuous distribution across the entire site, and introducing a geological complexity index for weighted correction of local areas, the spatial distribution map better reflects the actual geological characteristics, providing an intuitive and quantitative basis for engineering decisions.
