[0007] Based on these two datasets, one dataset is selected as the benchmark dataset, and the similarity percentage between the other dataset and the benchmark dataset is calculated.
[0008] The similarity percentage is used to determine whether the pile foundation structure is under horizontal load.
[0009] Furthermore, the method also includes:

[0018] in, This represents the percentage of similarity among the datasets. This represents the similarity distance value between the dataset containing all "0"s and the dataset containing all "1"s. This represents the similarity distance value between the benchmark dataset and the dataset to be compared.
[0019] Furthermore, the two sensors on the same cross-section of the pile foundation structure are arranged on opposite sides.
[0020] Furthermore, when installing the sensor, the sensor is welded to the longitudinal reinforcing bars of the pile foundation structure; wherein the sensor is a reinforcing bar stress gauge.
[0021] Furthermore, the sensor is a fiber optic grating type or a vibrating wire type steel stress gauge.

These datasets are then normalized to obtain two sets of normalized data points. Next, the two sets of normalized data points are imported into a dynamic time warping algorithm to calculate the quantified similarity distance between the two sets of datasets. Based on these two sets of datasets, one set is selected as a benchmark dataset, and the similarity percentage between the other set and the benchmark dataset is calculated. The similarity percentage is then used to determine whether the pile foundation structure is under horizontal load. Compared with existing technologies, this application fully utilizes the monitoring data collected by sensors, enabling real-time diagnosis of the correlation between pile foundation monitoring datasets within a specific time period, determining whether the pile foundation structure is under horizontal load, and performing anomaly diagnosis based on the monitoring datasets, thereby diagnosing the safety status of the pile foundation structure.
