[0050] The tunnel three-dimensional real scene model is segmented according to the tunneling direction 5m, the monitoring section is selected (the monitoring section can be selected according to actual requirements), and the crown subsidence, horizontal convergence and ground subsidence of each monitoring section are taken as monitoring values.

The smaller the loss, the more accurate the prediction result;

[0065]
[0066] Among them: θ represents the updated learning rate, m i and v i respectively represent the first-order moment estimate and the second-order moment estimate of the i-th iteration parameter; ε is a very small constant used to prevent the denominator from being 0; α represents the step factor of weight update;
[0067] Among them, w and b are updated as follows:
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] Step 4.2: input the land subsidence data in the following formula in order Calculate H t and O t ;
[0071]
[0072]
[0073] wherein, is the input ground subsidence data, t represents the tth monitoring value of the monitoring index; H t-1 is the hidden state, I t is the importance of the control input ground subsidence data, F t controls the information retained in the neuron state at the previous moment; w xf , w ht , w xf , w hf are weight coefficients of H H t-1 , H t-1 , b i and b f are bias coefficients;
[0074] All the weights w and the bias b are parameters of the ground subsidence prediction model, which are automatically updated, and the whole model is used to find suitable w and b to minimize the value of the loss function MSE, and the size of each parameter update is determined according to the learning rate.
[0075] O t = σ (x t w xo + H t-1 w ho + b o )
[0076] wherein, O t is the output result of the ground subsidence prediction model at t time, σ is a sigmoid activation function; w xo , w ho are weight coefficients of H H t-1 , and b o is a bias coefficient;
[0077]

[0079] is the unit state of the current input gate at t time, C t-1 is the unit state at t-1 time, C t is the updated neuron state information;
[0080] H t = O t ⊙ tanh (C t-1 )
[0081] H t It is calculated using the neuron's memory information and output gate from the previous time step, and includes information from the current time step. tanh is the hyperbolic tangent activation function.
[0082] Step 4.3: Using the same method as in Step 4.2 for establishing the surface subsidence prediction model, establish the crown subsidence prediction model and the horizontal convergence prediction model and train them.
[0083] Step 5: Input the measured data collected in Step 3 into the prediction model trained in Step 4, input the measured deformation, and generate the predicted deformation. For example, using the surface settlement data of the [0, n] segment, calculate O. n+1 O n+2 O n+3 O n+4 O n+5 This refers to the predicted surface settlement data for the [n, n+5] segment, which is then fitted and analyzed with the corresponding deformation data in the numerical simulation of tunnel deformation in step 1. If the difference is less than ±5mm, normal construction can proceed. If it is greater than ±5mm, a level II (yellow) early warning will be activated to strengthen monitoring, closely observe the development, analyze the causes, stabilize the tunnel deformation, and formulate emergency plans and countermeasures.
