Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tunnel construction, and more specifically, it relates to an intelligent decision-making method for TBM tunnel support based on multi-source fusion data. Background Art

[0002] As a key equipment for tunnel construction, the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is directly related to the quality and progress of the project in terms of its safe and efficient operation. However, the complex geological conditions and variable environments during tunnel construction pose great challenges to TBM tunnel support. In recent years, scholars and engineering technicians at home and abroad have carried out a large number of research works on TBM tunnel support and achieved remarkable progress. However, due to the diversity and complexity of geological conditions, the existing research still faces many challenges. For example, in soft strata and fractured zones, the TBM tunneling process is extremely likely to cause stratum deformation and support failure, seriously affecting the construction progress and safety. Therefore, how to make scientific and reasonable support decisions based on multi-source information fusion, and make real-time dynamic adjustments according to the construction situation, so as to achieve efficient, fast and safe support measures, has become a key technical problem to be solved urgently.

[0003] The selection of existing support parameters mainly relies on the engineering analogy method, which is greatly affected by human factors, the results are rough, it is difficult to quantify the support parameter decision-making, and there are problems of support waste and support failure in complex geological environments such as rock bursts and large deformations, and it is difficult to adapt to complex and changeable geological environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent decision-making method for TBM tunnel support based on multi-source fusion data. This method widely selects various influencing factors closely related to the support situation and surrounding rock situation, such as geological exploration data, rock mass information, TBM tunneling data, etc. Based on the support parameters actually implemented on site, it deeply integrates a variety of algorithms, so as to realize the intelligent decision-making of TBM tunnel support parameters and improve the intelligent level of TBM tunnels.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: An intelligent decision-making method for TBM tunnel support based on multi-source fusion data, including the following steps:

[0006] 1) Widely collect the tunneling parameters of existing or under-construction TBM tunnels to form an initial sample library of tunneling data;

[0007] 2) Divide the collected TBM tunnel tunneling parameters into tunneling states and non-tunneling states according to formula (1), and retain the data in the tunneling state;

[0008] f i =F i ·v i ·Ti ·n i (1)

[0009] Where: F i —— The total thrust at the i-th time step, unit: kN; v i —— The tunneling speed at the i-th time step, unit: mm / min; T i —— The cutterhead torque at the i-th time step, unit: MN·m; n i —— The cutterhead rotational speed at the i-th time step, unit: rpm; If f i = 0, then all data at the i-th time step are discarded;

[0010] 3) Process the tunneling state data set using the 3σ method, calculate the average value and standard deviation σ of each tunneling parameter, and remove outlier data points;

[0011] 4) Use the maximum inter-class difference adaptive method to extract tunneling cycles, divide them into cycle rising segments and stable segments, retain the average value of the stable segment of each tunneling cycle to represent the state of the tunneling parameters in this stage, and match them with the tunneling mileage. Finally, form a tunneling parameter database with the tunneling mileage as the coordinate;

[0012] 5) Collect the geological exploration data, designed support parameters, and changed design parameters of the built or under-construction TBM tunnel. Based on the designed support parameters, with the changed design parameters as the modified samples and the mileage as the coordinate, establish a field support parameter combination sample, and splice it with the tunneling parameter database in step 4) to form a TBM tunnel tunneling support sample database;

[0013] 6) Construct a support decision framework. First, arrange the data in a sequence form, and perform a convolution operation on the arranged input vector through Equation (4):

[0014]

[0015] Where, x ∈ R n×d is the input vector, W c ∈ R k×d is the convolution kernel, k is the size of the convolution kernel, b1 is the bias, and h1[t] is the result of the t-th time step of the convolution output.

[0016] Subsequently, perform a global average pooling operation, and perform a global average operation on the output h1 of the convolutional layer through Equation (5):

[0017]

[0018] Subsequently, perform a non-linear transformation through the fully connected layer using the ReLU activation function in Equation (6):

[0019] h3[i] = max(0, W2h2 + b2) (6)

[0020] Subsequently, a non - linear transformation is performed through a fully - connected layer using the sigmoid activation function in Equation (7):

[0021]

[0022] Subsequently, a transformation is performed using BiLSTM in Equation (8):

[0023]

[0024] In the formula, is the forward LSTM, and its calculation formula is shown in Equation (9), is the backward LSTM, and its calculation formula is shown in Equation (10);

[0025]

[0026] Subsequently, a non - linear transformation is performed through a fully - connected layer using the ReLU activation function in Equation (11):

[0027] h6[i] = max(0, W5h5 + b5) (11)

[0028] Subsequently, the output is transformed into a probability distribution using Softmax in Equation (12):

[0029]

[0030] (7) Based on the established support decision - making framework, train with the TBM tunnel boring support sample database established in step (5). Finally, obtain the TBM tunnel support decision - making algorithm based on multi - source fusion kernel data; this algorithm can be used for intelligent support decision - making in TBM tunnels to improve the intelligent level of TBM tunnels.

[0031] The present invention is further set as follows: The steps of the maximum between - class variance adaptive method are as follows:

[0032] (1) Initialize the threshold g0 between the rising section and the stable section in the total propulsion force of the cycle, and count the number of data with the total propulsion force less than g0 in the cycle as N0, and the number of data with the total propulsion force greater than g0 as N1;

[0033] (2) Denote the proportion of the data in the rising section of the total propulsion force of the cycle in the entire cycle data as w0, and calculate the average value μ0 of the total propulsion force in the rising section of the cycle. If the total propulsion force F < g0, it is regarded as the rising section; denote the proportion of the data in the stable section of the total propulsion force of the cycle in the entire cycle data as w1, and calculate the average value μ1 of the total propulsion force in the stable section of the cycle. If the total propulsion force F >= g0, it is regarded as the stable section;

[0034] (3) Based on the proportions w0, w1 and their average values μ0, μ1 of the rising section and the stable section data in the total cyclic propulsion force, the average value μ and the between-class variance S of the entire total cyclic propulsion force can be calculated:

[0035]

[0036] Through further simplification, an equivalent formula can be obtained:

[0037] S = w0w1(μ0 - μ1) 2 (3)

[0038] (4) Take the average value μ of the entire total cyclic propulsion force as the new threshold g1 between the rising section and the stable section of the total cyclic propulsion force, and then calculate the average value μˊ and the between-class variance S′ of the new total cyclic propulsion force according to steps (1) to (3). By comparing the between-class variances S and S′, if S′ > S, then take the average value μˊ of the total cyclic propulsion force as the final threshold between the rising section and the stable section of the total cyclic propulsion force. At this time, the data division of the cyclic rising section and the stable section ends; otherwise, continue to execute steps (1) to (3) until the cyclic division ends.

[0039] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] 1. The selection of the current TBM tunnel support parameters is based on human experience for decision-making, which is slow and has a large amount of subjectivity. The TBM tunnel support decision-making method established based on this technical solution can quantify decision-making indicators, replace the influence of human factors, and achieve rapid decision-making at the same time;

[0041] 2. The input indicators such as the tunneling parameters adopted by the method provided by the present invention can reflect the current surrounding rock conditions during excavation in real time, with high accuracy, so as to realize real-time decision-making of TBM tunnel support parameters;

[0042] 3. In the past, the selected factors for support decision-making were relatively single, such as the parameters of surrounding rock strength and integrity. This technical method is based on machine learning algorithms and can widely adopt multiple tunneling parameters and geological exploration data that reflect the surrounding rock conditions in real time, and the results are more accurate.

[0050] 2) Divide the collected TBM tunnel tunneling parameters into tunneling states and non-tunneling states according to Equation (1), and retain the data in the tunneling state;

[0051] f i = F i ·v i ·T i ·n i (1)

[0052] In the formula: F i ——The total thrust at the i-th time step, unit: kN; v i ——The tunneling speed at the i-th time step, unit: mm / min; T i ——The cutterhead torque at the i-th time step, unit: MN·m; n i ——The cutterhead rotation speed at the i-th time step, unit: rpm; if f i = 0, then all the data at the i-th time step are discarded;

By comparing the between-class variances \(S\) and \(S'\), if \(S' > S\), then take the average value \(\mu'\) of the cyclic thrust force as the final threshold between the rising section and the stable section of the cyclic thrust force. At this time, the data division of the rising section and the stable section of the cycle ends; otherwise, continue to execute steps (1) to (3) until the cycle division ends.
