Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geostress field analysis, and in particular to a method for visualizing and constructing a three-dimensional geostress field under complex geological structure conditions. Background Art

[0002] Accurate calculation and evaluation of geostress fields are key factors in solving the major challenges associated with the design, construction and operation of underground engineering projects (such as mining, civil and petroleum engineering). At the same time, accurate understanding of the distribution law of geostress fields is also indispensable for geoscience research such as plate driving mechanism, tectonic evolution, earthquake mechanism and prediction, fault activity, etc. With the vigorous development of underground projects such as exploration and development of underground energy resources, nuclear waste disposal and geological storage of carbon dioxide, complex geological structural conditions have brought great challenges to the analysis of geostress. Using geostress measurement methods such as stress relief method, hydraulic fracturing method, borehole collapse method and geophysical method, the measured stress data are often highly random, highly discrete, and have a small sample size, which cannot fully and accurately reflect the complex three-dimensional geostress state of a certain area, especially in the case of alternating multiple layers of soil and rock. These methods can usually only provide local "point" stress information, lack a full understanding of the geostress field of the entire region, and are difficult to meet the needs of underground engineering construction and geoscience research.

[0003] There are many deficiencies in existing technical means when dealing with complex geological structural features. First, the influence of the physical properties of the strata (such as density, Poisson's ratio, etc.) on the wave velocity has not been fully considered. The propagation speed of seismic waves in different rock and soil layers varies depending on the physical properties of each layer. If there is a lack of accurate characteristic data, the shear modulus and bulk modulus of each rock and soil layer cannot be effectively calculated, but this calculation is crucial to understanding the deformation and stress distribution of the rock strata under external loads. Secondly, traditional finite element analysis methods often rely on simplified assumptions and fail to fully consider the interaction between rock and soil layers and the influence of pore water pressure on the distribution state of ground stress. Pore water pressure plays an important role in many geological environments. Its changes directly affect the effective stress of the rock mass, and then affect the strength and deformation characteristics of the rock mass.

[0004] In addition, the existence of geological structures such as faults makes the construction of the geostress field more complicated. Fault characteristics, such as dip, strike angle, length, depth and width, will significantly affect the stress distribution in the surrounding rock and soil layers. The existing technology does not analyze the impact of faults in depth, resulting in an incomplete and inaccurate understanding of the stress field under complex geological conditions. The above factors together lead to huge challenges in the visualization and accurate construction of the geostress field under actual geological conditions, and an innovative technical method is urgently needed to solve these problems.

[0005] In the existing technology, the publication number CN118260982A discloses a method and device for determining the characteristics of a three-dimensional geostress field, including the following steps: collecting regional geological data and drilling data of the research area; constructing a three-dimensional geological model of the research area according to the regional geological data, drilling data and three-dimensional visualization modeling technology; establishing a three-dimensional rock mechanics parameter model of the research area corresponding to the three-dimensional geological model according to the drilling data; determining the model boundary conditions according to the simulated geostress values ​​of the three-dimensional geological model at the preset well points and the measured geostress values ​​of the well points; performing finite element simulation calculations based on the three-dimensional geological model, the three-dimensional rock mechanics parameter model and the model boundary conditions to obtain the geostress field characteristics of the research area. However, in this scheme, the construction of a three-dimensional geological model and a three-dimensional rock mechanics parameter model requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, such as the heterogeneity of rock and soil layers, the interaction between layers, pore water pressure, etc. These factors were not fully considered during the model construction process, resulting in an over-simplification of the model, which could not truly reflect the actual geological structure. In addition, the three-dimensional modeling and calculation have problems such as too many iterations, slow convergence speed, and easy to fall into local minimum values. Moreover, the dynamic factors and nonlinear behavior of the rock mass are not fully considered, which limits the accuracy of the stress field analysis and reduces the accuracy and effectiveness of the three-dimensional geostress field characteristic determination method.

[0006] The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present disclosure and therefore it may contain information that does not constitute the prior art that is already known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

This process not only improves the understanding of the physical properties of the rock and soil layer, but also lays a solid foundation for the subsequent calculation of the shear modulus and bulk modulus. Through this method, a comprehensive analysis of complex strata can be achieved to ensure that the actual characteristics of each rock and soil layer are taken into account when calculating stress. Secondly, based on the established rock and soil layer displacement finite element model, after applying external loads, the strain tensor of each rock and soil layer can be analyzed in detail, and the stress tensor can be calculated accordingly. The real behavior of the rock and soil layer under the action of external loads is simulated, and the interaction between the rock and soil layers can be effectively identified. In particular, by combining the fluid flow equation of Darcy's law, the influence of pore water pressure on the stress state is calculated, and a more accurate effective stress tensor can be obtained. The assessment accuracy of the stress state of the rock and soil layer is improved. Moreover, by further correcting the effective stress tensor of each rock and soil layer, considering the fault characteristic information provided in the geological report, an accurate analysis of the stress state under complex geological conditions is achieved. Finally, based on the accurate effective stress tensors of each rock and soil layer, the constructed three-dimensional geological model is divided into small grids, and the effective stress tensors are mapped to each grid unit of the model through visualization software. This visualization process allows the complex stress distribution to be presented intuitively, which not only facilitates on-site evaluation and design decisions of geotechnical engineering, improves safety and economic benefits, reduces the risk of disasters caused by geological factors, but also provides more detailed geological information for earth science research.

[0056] Example:

[0057] See also Figure 1 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0058] A method for visualizing and constructing a three-dimensional geostress field under complex geological structure conditions, specifically comprising:

[0059] Step 1: Acquire characteristic data of different rock and soil layers in the area to be analyzed, wherein the different rock and soil layers include a surface rock and soil layer, a sedimentary layer, a parent material layer and a bedrock layer, and the characteristic data of the rock and soil layers include different rock and soil layer densities and Poisson's ratios of the rock and soil layers;

[0060] Based on the existing geological map and historical data, the drilling location is selected, and drilling is carried out according to the preset depth. Samples are taken in each rock and soil layer to obtain the characteristic data of the corresponding rock and soil layer. The density and Poisson's ratio of different rock and soil layers are determined experimentally. The different rock and soil layers include the surface rock and soil layer, the sedimentary layer, the parent material layer and the bedrock layer. The specific division logic is: the depth range is within The rock and soil layer at the depth is marked as the surface rock and soil layer, and the depth range is The rock and soil layer at the location is marked as the sedimentary layer, and the depth range is The rock and soil layer at the depth is marked as the parent material layer, and the depth range is The rock layer at the bottom is marked as the bedrock layer. The division of each rock layer varies due to different terrain and geological structures. Here we only give a general range division method. Multiple sampling is carried out in each rock layer through drilling, and the density and Poisson's ratio of the samples are measured experimentally. The mean density and Poisson's ratio of the samples in the same rock layer are used as the rock layer density and Poisson's ratio of the rock layer, respectively.

[0061] The density and Poisson's ratio of different rock and soil layers are determined experimentally. Specifically, suitable drilling equipment (such as mechanical drilling rigs or manual drilling) is selected for on-site operations. Rotary drilling or impact drilling is usually selected. Drilling is carried out according to the pre-set depth, and the parent material layer or bedrock layer is reached as much as possible. Soil samples of each rock and soil layer are collected and the density of the rock and soil layer is calculated using the drying method or the Archimedean method. The saturated soil samples are subjected to triaxial compression tests in the laboratory, and the relationship between strain and stress is recorded to calculate the Poisson's ratio.

[0062] The surface rock and soil layer usually includes topsoil, humus soil, etc., and the density and Poisson's ratio are usually low. Sedimentary layer: usually includes clay, sand, sandstone, etc. This layer contains a large amount of soil and rock formed by sedimentation, which may include sediments of different particle sizes. The density and Poisson's ratio are between the surface layer and the parent material layer. Parent material layer: usually an unconsolidated rock and soil layer, commonly found deep underground, may contain uncompacted sediments or rock fragments, with a high density, and the Poisson's ratio depends on the actual soil quality. Bedrock layer: usually hard rock, a hard rock layer, usually consolidated rock, such as granite, basalt, limestone, etc. The density and Poisson's ratio are generally high.

[0063] Step 2: Apply seismic waves to the area to be analyzed, and receive the reflected waves through the seismic detector to obtain the velocity of the longitudinal and transverse waves of each rock and soil layer, and calculate the shear modulus and bulk modulus of each layer based on the characteristic data of the rock and soil layer and the velocity data of the longitudinal and transverse waves of each rock and soil layer;

[0064] The specific scheme for receiving the reflected waves by the seismic detector to obtain the velocity of the longitudinal and transverse waves of each rock and soil layer is as follows: by applying seismic waves and recording the arrival time of the reflected waves, the reflection method can be used to estimate the velocity of each rock and soil layer. The relationship between reflection time, layer thickness and wave velocity can be expressed by the following formula:

[0065] ;

[0066] In the formula, is the arrival time of the reflected wave, is the thickness of the rock layer, is the shear wave velocity of the rock and soil layer. The calculation of the longitudinal wave velocity of the rock and soil layer is the same.

[0067] Seismic waves are applied to the area to be analyzed, and the reflected waves are received by the seismic detector. The shear modulus and bulk modulus of each layer are calculated based on the characteristic data of the rock and soil layers and the velocity data of the longitudinal and shear waves of each rock and soil layer. The formulas for calculating the shear modulus and bulk modulus are:

[0072] In the selected finite element software, you first need to create a geometric model of the geotechnical layer and define the material properties of the model, such as density, shear modulus, and bulk modulus. Fixed boundary conditions mean that no displacement or rotation of the nodes is allowed on the boundary. In the geotechnical layer model, fixed boundary conditions (such as no displacement) are usually applied at the bottom to simulate the support of the foundation or soil, and the sides can use free boundaries or apply constraints. Apply loads on the ground, which can be set as concentrated forces or uniformly distributed loads. Define the load size and application location according to the engineering requirements, and export the results to external files (such as CSV, TXT, etc.) according to the output of the model for further processing and analysis. Make sure that the exported data includes the node displacement information of each unit.

[0073] The strain tensor of each rock and soil layer under the set load mass is analyzed by the rock and soil layer displacement finite element model. The logic for determining the strain tensor of each rock and soil layer is as follows: first, a three-dimensional geological coordinate system is established, with the vertical direction pointing to the sky as the z The positive direction of the axis is perpendicular to z The horizontal line of the axis is x axis, and the north direction is x The positive direction of the axis is determined by the right-hand rule y Axis direction, thus establishing a three-dimensional geological coordinate system, in the established rock and soil layer displacement finite element model, input the characteristic data of each rock and soil layer, set unit nodes in each rock and soil layer, and record the position coordinates of each unit node, by applying the set load on the surface of the model, record the position coordinates of each unit node after the load is applied, and obtain the displacement information of the unit node, the displacement information includes the displacement component on the x-axis , the displacement component on the y-axis and in z Displacement component on the axis ;

[0109] Among them, the dip of the fault can be measured directly in the outcrop or exploration well using a geological compass to measure the inclination angle of the fault plane relative to the horizontal plane. The strike angle of the fault is measured by using a geological compass at the outcrop to measure the angle between the fault plane and the true north direction, or by using satellite images or high-resolution topographic maps to identify the direction of the fault line. The length of the fault, the depth of the fault and the width of the fault are determined through a geological report involving a detailed fault survey, which usually contains information on the length of the fault in the survey area, an estimate of the vertical extension of the fault and the width of the fault zone. In particular, if the fault has obvious outcrops on the surface, the report may describe its extension in detail.

[0110] The dip and strike angles of a fault determine the direction and tilt of the fault in three-dimensional space. The dip and strike angles affect how the fault plane redistributes the surrounding stress field. Generally speaking, the dip affects the position of the fault plane in the gravity field, while the strike angle determines the direction parallel to the surface. and It is to reflect the contribution of stress components projected in different directions to the total stress field.

[0111] The length and depth of a fault determine its range of influence. Longer and deeper faults may affect a larger range of stress fields. Longer and deeper faults usually lead to stress redistribution and concentration over a larger range, through It is expressed in proportion, reflecting the influence of the geometric size of the fault on the local stress field.

[0112] Fault width refers to the thickness of the fault zone, which may affect its sliding behavior and energy release. A wider fault zone may reduce the stress concentration effect because the energy release is distributed over a wider area. An exponential decay function is used. to describe the nonlinear reduction in the effect of width on stress, since wider faults gradually reduce the effect.

[0113] Step 6: Based on the accurate effective stress tensors of each rock and soil layer, a three-dimensional geological model containing each rock and soil layer is constructed. The three-dimensional geological model is divided into multiple grid units, each grid unit corresponds to an accurate effective stress tensor, and the accurate effective stress tensor is mapped to each grid unit of the three-dimensional model using visualization software to complete the construction of a visualized three-dimensional geostress field.

[0114] Use geological modeling software (such as Petrel or Leapfrog Geo) to build a 3D geological model based on geological exploration data. This model should be refined to each rock and soil layer to ensure that the boundaries and thickness of each rock and soil layer are accurately reflected in the model. Import stratigraphic sections and drillhole data, use contour lines and fault planes to construct 3D stratigraphic boundaries, and generate a comprehensive 3D geological model based on stratigraphic boundaries.

[0115] The 3D geological model is divided into multiple grid cells using the finite difference or finite element method. Unstructured grid division technology is used to adapt to complex geological conditions, and the grid is refined at the interface between faults and rock and soil layers to capture stress concentration phenomena.

[0116] Map the collected precise effective stress tensors of each unit node of each geotechnical layer to the corresponding grid unit one by one. Use bilinear or cubic interpolation methods to map discrete stress data to grid nodes. For each grid unit, assign the appropriate effective stress tensor to the unit according to the geological unit to which it belongs. Use visualization software (such as ParaView or Tecplot) to visualize the three-dimensional geostress field. Import the meshing results and stress tensor data into the visualization software, render the three-dimensional model, and generate an interactive visualization image of the geostress field.
