Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering technology, and in particular to a "pot lid effect" analysis method based on machine learning. Background Art
[0002] The "pot lid effect" of an airport is a phenomenon in which, driven by the temperature gradient, water in deep, enclosed soil migrates from warm areas to cold areas in the form of vapor and condenses into water or sublimates into ice, resulting in an increase in the moisture content of the shallow soil. Northwest and Northeast my country are typical arid and cold regions, with groundwater levels as deep as tens of meters and large temperature differences between morning and evening. These factors lead to the occurrence of the "pot lid effect". The accumulated water caused by the "pot lid effect" affects the roadbed or pavement through the year-round freeze-thaw cycle. These factors induce disasters such as uneven foundation settlement, cracks in the pavement, and softening of concrete, posing a potential serious threat to people's lives and property safety. Therefore, a more accurate and efficient simulation and calculation of the "pot lid effect" is crucial to improving the safe operation of airports.
[0003] In the past, researchers calculated the water vapor migration of unsaturated soil by deriving empirical formulas through indoor and outdoor tests and combining relevant empirical parameters to analyze the changes in moisture and temperature of unsaturated soil. There are also numerical simulation analyses using hot water vapor multi-field coupling equations combined with numerical software. The prediction accuracy of the above methods for the spatiotemporal changes in moisture and temperature of unsaturated soil is quite different from the actual engineering practice, and the results are not satisfactory. In recent years, machine learning has played an important role in various fields, especially in solving engineering problems, demonstrating the advantages of artificial intelligence. At present, the "pot lid effect" mechanism has not been combined with machine learning to predict the spatiotemporal changes in moisture and temperature of unsaturated soil.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a "pot lid effect" analysis method based on machine learning to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
