Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for monitoring and warning the settlement of the tunnel vault, which is applicable to the field of tunnel construction monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Tunnel construction monitoring is an important link to ensure the safety, quality and progress of tunnel projects. During tunnel construction, the settlement of the vault is a key monitoring index, as it is directly related to the stability of the tunnel structure and construction safety. The research and application of methods for monitoring and warning the settlement of the tunnel vault are of great significance for preventing accidents during tunnel construction, protecting personnel safety and extending the service life of the tunnel.

[0003] At present, with the continuous development of computer technology and the continuous extension of the cross - application of multiple disciplines, in the analysis of tunnel vault settlement, using advanced algorithms for analysis and prediction is a hot topic in current industry research. Currently, industry insiders mainly consider the tunnel vault settlement monitoring data as time - series data, and use some algorithms for time - series data to analyze or build models, etc., and finally obtain predicted values to guide construction.

[0004] However, in the current research status, the fit between the change situation of tunnel vault settlement and the prediction algorithm adopted is not fully considered, resulting in the prediction results not conforming to the actual construction, and even hindering the normal progress of construction. The main reason is that the fit between the change situation of tunnel vault settlement and the prediction algorithm adopted is not considered. The change rate of tunnel vault settlement varies. For example, the monitoring results of the vault settlement in sections with shallow burial depth and poor surrounding rock conditions change relatively fast, while the monitoring results of the vault settlement in sections with relatively good surrounding rock conditions change relatively slowly. At the same time, there are many algorithms for time - series data, some of which are good at analyzing rapidly changing data, and some are conducive to capturing and analyzing slowly changing data. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for monitoring and warning the settlement of the tunnel vault that fully considers the fit between the change situation of tunnel vault settlement and the prediction algorithm adopted. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that there is an urgent need for a method for monitoring and warning the settlement of the tunnel vault that fully considers the fit between the change situation of tunnel vault settlement and the prediction algorithm adopted, and a method for monitoring and warning the settlement of the tunnel vault is proposed.

[0017] c) When the datasets containing monitoring timestamps are low-deformation-expectation datasets Dk When it is, the prediction value is obtained by using the linear regression method capable of capturing slow changes;

[0018] S104, achieving the warning purpose;

[0019] The achievement of the warning purpose includes judging the stability state according to the obtained prediction value P in combination with the corresponding vault settlement monitoring warning standard, and achieving the warning purpose. The corresponding vault settlement monitoring warning standard is comprehensively formulated according to the section topography and geology conditions and excavation conditions of the monitoring point where the prediction value P is obtained;

[0020] Further, in the above S103, in the data analysis, the time interval is 0.5 days or 1 day;

[0021] Further, in the above S103, the steps of constructing a prediction model by using the long short-term memory neural network to obtain a prediction value are: a) data normalization processing, b) dividing the data set into a training set and a test set, c) constructing a long short-term memory neural network prediction model, d) model training, e) model evaluation, f) model deployment and application, and obtaining a prediction value;

[0022] Further, in the above construction of the long short-term memory neural network prediction model, the smooth rectified linear unit function is used as the activation function, and the expression of the smooth rectified linear unit function is formula (1),

The curve of the measured value and the predicted value of the section number TJ-12 is as Figure 2 shown. The section number TJ-35 is the low point of the deformation expectation. The predicted value is obtained using the linear regression method that can capture slow changes.
