Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rock mass structural surface technology, and in particular, a method for evaluating the roughness of rock mass structural surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] The well-developed joints and fissures in natural rock masses give them heterogeneity, anisotropy, and discontinuity. Rock mass instability and deformation are largely controlled by structural planes, making their physical and mechanical characteristics crucial for evaluating rock mass stability and safety. Studies show that the mechanical properties of structural planes are closely related to their surface roughness. Furthermore, surface roughness is a vital link between rock mass strength, deformation, and seepage characteristics. Therefore, accurate quantification of surface roughness is essential for studying the physical and mechanical properties of rock masses.

[0003] At present, scholars at home and abroad have proposed various methods for calculating the roughness of structural surfaces. Two-dimensional roughness quantification is mainly achieved through non-contact measurement methods such as single-row needle profile rulers and single-needle automatic profilers. However, a single profile curve is difficult to accurately and comprehensively reflect the overall characteristics of the roughness of the structural surface. Three-dimensional roughness quantification is mainly achieved through non-contact measurement methods such as photogrammetry and three-dimensional laser scanning. It can achieve accurate, comprehensive and refined acquisition of the morphological characteristics of the structural surface. The quantitative characterization method of three-dimensional roughness has become a research focus. Although the current three-dimensional roughness characterization methods are constantly being optimized and developed, there are still some problems, specifically: (1) Some three-dimensional roughness characterization methods average the calculation results of two-dimensional profile lines, ignoring the complexity of the three-dimensional morphology, resulting in a serious disconnect between two-dimensional and three-dimensional; (2) The data sampling interval of the structural surface will affect the evaluation of the roughness of the structural surface, and there is little research on the evaluation index of the data sampling interval; (3) The three-dimensional roughness quantification method that integrates undulation degree, undulation angle and considers the shear direction does not fully consider the discreteness of undulation degree and undulation angle. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0038] The roughness evaluation method for the structural surface of this rock mass includes the following steps:

[0039] Step A: Select the rock mass structure surface to be analyzed, and perform a three-dimensional scan of the rock mass structure surface using a three-dimensional laser scanning device to obtain the three-dimensional point cloud data of the rock mass structure surface. The three-dimensional point cloud data is stored in pts format and converted to dat format to be saved in (x, y, z) coordinate form. The obtained three-dimensional point cloud data is then preprocessed by denoising and void repair based on the Visual Studio software platform.

[0040] Step B: Set the interpolation grid size according to d, d / 2, d / 4, d / 8, d / 16, d / 32 to perform regular gridding processing on the acquired irregularly distributed 3D point cloud data, thereby forming regularized 3D point cloud data;

[0053] In this embodiment, the sampling intervals for the rock mass structural planes are 2mm, 1mm, 0.5mm, 0.25, 0.125mm, 0.0625mm, and 0.03125mm, respectively, which correspond to grid sizes of 2mm, 1mm, 0.5mm, 0.25, 0.125mm, 0.0625mm, and 0.03125mm. The characteristic parameters under different grid sizes are statistically analyzed in Table 1 below.

[0056] According to Table 1 and Figure 1Analysis shows that when the sampling interval of the rock mass structural surface is less than 0.125 mm, the volume and equivalent height of the rock mass structural surface gradually stabilize. Therefore, during the sampling process of the rock mass structural surface, the sampling interval should be controlled below 0.125 mm, which can be used as a characterizing unit for selecting the interval size of the rock mass structural surface to improve the accuracy of the quantitative characterization of the roughness of the rock mass structural surface.

[0057] Step E: The external normal vector of any triangle face is The undulation of the triangular face is taken as the average height of each corner point. The projected area of ​​the triangular face on the plane is The coefficient of variation for the undulation Hi of each triangular facet is: Outer normal vector The corresponding coefficients of variation are ,in , All are standard deviations. , All are mean values;

[0065] Figures 2-7 The closed irregular shape in the figure represents the rock mass structural surface roughness data obtained under different shear directions at corresponding sampling intervals. The right side of the figure is a polar coordinate plot, and the left side is the roughness parameter. Figures 2-3 Analysis shows that the closed irregular shapes obtained under different shearing directions with sampling intervals of 2mm and 1mm have many jagged edges, the lines of the shapes are not smooth enough, and the obtained data is of poor quality; according to Figures 4-7 Analysis shows that after the sampling interval is less than 0.125 mm, the lines in the closed irregular shapes obtained under different shearing directions are smoother, and the obtained data effect is better; in addition, according to Figures 2-7The data show roughness data obtained from shear directions ranging from 0° to 360°. Based on the roughness characterization parameters obtained from different shear directions, it can be seen that the rock mass surface roughness is larger when the shear direction is between 250° and 300°, while it is relatively smaller when the shear direction is between 70° and 200°. Therefore, when calculating and evaluating the roughness of rock mass surfaces, the sampling interval and shear direction should be fully considered. While satisfying the size effect, roughness calculation, evaluation, and related research need to be conducted based on anisotropic characteristics.

[0066] This invention first determines the data sampling interval of rock mass structural surfaces based on the volume and equivalent height of the surface, thereby determining the size of the characterizing unit for the sampling interval. Secondly, it establishes a method for characterizing the roughness of rock mass structural surfaces based on their undulation and undulation angle, and presents the trend of roughness characterization values ​​under different shear directions at different sampling intervals. The results show that when the sampling interval is less than 0.125 mm, the volume and equivalent height values ​​of the rock mass structural surfaces gradually stabilize. The data obtained under different shear directions are better when the sampling interval is less than 0.125 mm, and the roughness of the rock mass structural surfaces is larger when the shear direction is 250°–300°, while it is relatively smaller when the shear direction is 70°–200°.
