Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of model algorithm construction, specifically to a safety and health evaluation model for small reservoir dams, which is particularly suitable for the safety analysis of small reservoir dams. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, numerous reservoirs have been built across the country. However, due to their large number, wide distribution, and inconvenient transportation, small reservoirs are characterized by low design standards and insufficient maintenance funds. Accidents and dam breaks in small reservoirs are frequent. In response to these issues, smart water conservancy platforms provide analytical models for reservoir dam safety, but most are primarily statistical models driven by monitoring data. However, given the incomplete monitoring data and low precision calibration of monitoring instruments for small reservoirs, single monitoring data cannot reflect the comprehensive safety of small reservoir dams. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a multi-source information fusion perspective, considering the comprehensive conditions of the dam (basic information, monitoring data, and on-site inspection data), to further quantify and analyze the safety of reservoir dams. Summary of the Invention

Based on the obtained effect values, it uses the confidence interval estimation method to establish a grading index and obtain the module's score.

[0007] The flood control capacity verification module evaluates the dam's flood control capacity by comparing the changes in the current water level caused by different inflow rates with the dam crest elevation, and obtains the corresponding flood control capacity score.

[0040] Using the maximum dam height (H) max Using 1% and 3% as secondary control indicators, the safety of deformable structures is discussed in a tiered manner. The following formula is used to obtain: (15)

[0043] Where: permissible safety factor The value is 1.1, and C is the threshold coefficient, which is 1.0 and 1.2 respectively. The safety factor is calculated from this. By comparing the control index range, the corresponding structural safety rating score can be obtained. ): 100, 50, 0. The safety factor is determined by the Swedish slice method. When the soil structure is discretized into m soil strips for analysis, according to the principle of limit equilibrium, the sliding moment = the resisting moment, and the safety factor... Then we have: (17)

[0044] In the formula: , , Let be the cohesion, angle of internal friction, and weight of the m-th soil block, respectively. , , respectively, represent the length of the slip surface and the horizontal angle of the m-th soil block.

[0045] The structural safety rating scores for deformation and stability can be combined and calculated using the following formula: (18)

[0046] Submodule ratings can be determined by scores. The classes are divided into: Class 4 (0, 25), Class 3 (25, 50), Class 2 (50, 75), and Class 1 (75, 100).

[0047] The overall score for dam safety and health is expressed as follows: (19)

[0048] in, The overall score for the dam; The U-th submodule is scored, where U=1,2,3,4,5, corresponding to the on-site safety inspection module, safety monitoring data analysis module, flood control capacity verification module, seepage safety evaluation module, and structural safety evaluation module, respectively. Let U be the weight coefficient of the U-th submodule. The overall dam rating can be divided into the following categories based on the score: low risk (0, 25], medium risk (25, 50], relatively high risk (50, 75], and high risk (75, 100]; the weight coefficient range is [0, 1].

[0049] This invention also provides a method for evaluating the safety and health of small reservoir dams using the aforementioned small reservoir dam safety and health evaluation system, comprising the following steps:

[0050] (1) Basic data summary: The basic data of the dam is obtained by analyzing the basic information of the dam, the test data and the on-site inspection data. The basic information of the dam includes the dam height, the upstream and downstream slope ratio, the dam crest width, the dam bottom width, the cohesion of the dam material, the internal friction angle of the dam material, the permeability coefficient of the dam material, the reservoir capacity curve, and the discharge curve. The monitoring data includes the displacement monitoring data and its relative position, the piezometer monitoring data and its relative position, the seepage flow monitoring data and its relative position, the upstream and downstream water levels, the rainfall, the temperature, and the inflow rate.

[0051] (2) The on-site safety inspection module, safety testing data analysis module, flood control capacity verification module, seepage safety module and structural safety evaluation module are calculated in parallel to calculate the corresponding scores.

[0054] Beneficial Effects: Due to historical reasons, the basic data, monitoring data, and operational management levels of small reservoirs are generally low. Previous single-assessment systems often fail to accurately reflect the actual operating status of reservoirs due to data gaps. Against this backdrop, this invention considers the comprehensive operating conditions of small reservoirs and proposes a safety and health evaluation model for small reservoir dams based on on-site safety inspections and monitoring data analysis. According to the basic framework of the "Guidelines for Safety Evaluation of Reservoir Dams," the safety and health evaluation model for small reservoir dams is divided into five modules: 1. On-site safety inspection; 2. Safety monitoring data analysis; 3. Flood control capacity verification; 4. Seepage safety evaluation; 5. Structural safety evaluation. Based on on-site inspections, monitoring data, dam material characteristics, and measured environmental data such as reservoir water level, rainfall, and temperature, the completeness of parameters is analyzed. Therefore, based on on-site safety inspections and monitoring data, a multi-scenario, multi-output dam safety and health evaluation model suitable for small reservoirs is established. This model emphasizes the complementarity and integration of multi-source information from the perspective of fusing similar and dissimilar information, comprehensively assesses dam health, and reduces uncertainty and subjective influence in the process of dam service performance assessment and early warning.

[0059] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, and the advantages of the present invention in the above and / or other aspects will become clearer.

[0060] This application reduces the uncertainty and subjective influence in the dam service performance assessment and early warning process by using multi-source information to conduct a comprehensive safety assessment of the dam.

[0061] Specifically, this application provides a safety and health assessment system for small reservoir dams, including an on-site safety inspection module, a safety monitoring data analysis module, a flood control capacity verification module, a seepage safety assessment module, a structural safety assessment module, and a dam safety and health overall rating module, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0062] The safety monitoring data analysis module sets up displacement statistical models, piezometer statistical models, and seepage flow models according to different monitoring types. It adopts a multi-factor time-varying model to establish a statistical model between external loads and effect values, thereby obtaining the effect values ​​under the current load conditions. Based on the obtained effect values, it uses the confidence interval estimation method to establish a grading index and obtain the score of this module.

[0063] The flood control capacity verification module evaluates the dam's flood control capacity by comparing the changes in the current water level caused by different inflow rates with the dam crest elevation, and obtains the corresponding flood control capacity score.

[0064] The seepage safety assessment module evaluates the hydraulic gradient and leakage based on the dam's basic information and monitoring data, and derives a score for the seepage safety assessment module.

[0065] The structural safety evaluation module calculates its score based on two aspects: deformation control and safety factor stability analysis.

[0066] The overall safety and health rating module of the dam is used to give an overall rating of the dam's safety and health based on the scores from the on-site safety inspection module, safety monitoring data analysis module, flood control capacity verification module, seepage safety evaluation module, and structural safety evaluation module.

[0067] The scoring methods for each module are explained in detail below.

[0068] The dam foundation data was obtained based on the dam foundation information, testing data, and on-site inspection data. The dam foundation information includes dam height, upstream and downstream slope ratio, dam crest width, dam base width, dam material cohesion, dam material internal friction angle, dam material permeability coefficient, reservoir capacity curve, and discharge curve. The monitoring data includes Boakai displacement monitoring data and its relative position, piezometer monitoring data and its relative position, seepage flow monitoring data and its relative position, upstream and downstream water levels, rainfall, temperature, and inflow.

[0069] (I) On-site safety inspection module (Module 1):

[0070] On-site inspection is a crucial step in assessing the health of small reservoirs. Analyzing data from previous inspections, qualitative judgments are made by examining abnormal dam appearances, their locations, patterns of change, and trends. To achieve comprehensive quantitative analysis, the inspection content needs to be scored to evaluate each inspection task. According to the "Guidelines for Safety Evaluation of Reservoirs and Dams" (SL258-2017), for small and medium-sized reservoirs, this invention assigns scores to the on-site safety of the dam according to Table 1:

[0071] Table 1. On-site scoring table for the dam

[0072]

[0073] Each item in the table above has three evaluation levels, each with a corresponding score: A: 100; B: 50; C: 0. The total score for the on-site safety inspection module is: (1)

[0074] in, Let j be the on-site safety rating score. To Calculate the average value, where if any part of the site inspection is rated as level C, the dam rating is classified as high risk.

[0075] This module's rating can be determined by a score. The classes are divided into: Class 4 (0, 25), Class 3 (25, 50), Class 2 (50, 75), and Class 1 (75, 100).

[0076] (II) Safety Monitoring Data Analysis Module (Module Two)

[0077] For small reservoirs, this invention employs a multi-factor time-varying model from the "Hydraulic Engineering Design Manual - Hydraulic Safety Monitoring" to establish a statistical model between external loads and effect values, thereby obtaining the effect values ​​under the current load conditions. Error analysis of the monitoring data is performed using confidence intervals, and the standard deviation coefficient is adjusted to determine the corresponding multi-level thresholds. Based on the different types of monitoring data, it can be divided into three sub-items: displacement, seepage pressure, and seepage flow.

[0078] a) Displacement Statistical Model. This model primarily considers the dam's operational period. The displacement of an earth-rock dam is mainly caused by consolidation, but is also influenced by reservoir water level and temperature. The settlement caused by consolidation also reflects the characteristics of time-dependent changes. The statistical model for settlement during the operational period is as follows: (2)

[0079] In the formula: These are constant regression coefficients (displacement model); , For water level-related regression coefficients (displacement model); , , , These are the time-effect regression coefficients (displacement model). , The corresponding water levels of the upstream and downstream reservoirs on day i are for monitoring. To calculate the starting time, .

[0080] B) Piezometer Statistical Model. The main influencing factors can be categorized into upstream water level components, downstream water level components, rainfall components, and time-dependent components. Considering all factors, the piezometer statistical model for earth-rock dams is written as follows: (3)

[0081] In the formula: These are constant regression coefficients (pipe compression model); The average water level correlation regression coefficient (pipe pressure model). For rainfall regression coefficients (pipe pressure model); , The time-effect regression coefficient (pipe pressure model). The upstream water level is the average value of the previous i days; denoted as the average rainfall over the previous i days.

[0082] C) Seepage Flow Model. This is mainly affected by upstream and downstream water depth, rainfall infiltration, and the time-varying processes of siltation in front of the dam and the seepage barrier. Since the material properties of earth-rock dams change relatively little with temperature, the temperature component can generally be partially considered. In summary, the statistical model for seepage flow in earth-rock dams is as follows: (4)

[0083] In the formula: These are constant regression coefficients (seepage flow model); , For water level-related regression coefficients (seepage flow model); The average water level correlation regression coefficient (seepage flow model). For rainfall regression coefficients (infiltration model); , These are the time-effect regression coefficients (seepage flow model).

[0084] D) Comprehensive evaluation of safety monitoring data. Based on observation data, establish a statistical mathematical model (Equations 2-4), and calculate different types of numerical values. ( ) and its confidence interval band : (5)

[0085] In the formula: The standard deviation of the statistical model; For significance level of functions ( ; If the measured value is within... If the dam is within the acceptable range, it is considered to be operating safely; otherwise, it may be abnormal. Therefore, the control indicators for the monitoring quantities can be written as: (6)

[0086] The measured values ​​were then compared with the control index range to obtain the safety monitoring data rating score. The scores are 100, 50, and 0 respectively. Therefore, the total score of the safety monitoring data analysis module is: (7)

[0087] Submodule ratings can be determined by scores. The classes are divided into: Class 4 (0, 25), Class 3 (25, 50), Class 2 (50, 75), and Class 1 (75, 100).

[0088] (III) Flood Control Capacity Evaluation Module (Module 3)

[0089] Flood control capacity is evaluated by considering the changes in current water level caused by different inflow rates and comparing them with the dam crest elevation. The current water level is a dynamic process, incorporating both upstream inflow and downstream discharge capacity. When calculating changes in upstream reservoir elevation, inflow, spillway discharge, and gate discharge must all be considered. The entire process follows a water balance equation: (8)

[0090] In the formula: A s The area of ​​the reservoir surface; z s The reservoir level is represented by t; time is represented by Q. in For inbound flow; Q spill For the spillway discharge; Q sluice The outflow rate of the gate;

[0091] The predicted water level h can be obtained through the water balance equation. y , and the dam crest elevation h d Based on the initial water level h0, the corresponding flood control capacity score can be obtained: (9)

[0092] Module 3 rating can be determined by scoring. The classes are divided into: Class 4 (0, 25), Class 3 (25, 50), Class 2 (50, 75), and Class 1 (75, 100), with corresponding computational geometry diagrams as follows. Figure 2 As shown.

[0093] (iv) Seepage Safety Assessment Module (Module 4)

[0094] This submodule evaluates the dam's seepage safety based on its basic information and monitoring data, and the evaluation is divided into two aspects: hydraulic gradient and leakage rate.

[0095] A) Regarding the hydraulic gradient, this invention calculates the hydraulic gradient based on seepage pressure monitoring data and relative location. The corresponding seepage stability score is obtained by comparing it with multi-level hydraulic gradient thresholds. The calculation methods for the allowable hydraulic gradient are all derived from the "Code for Geological Investigation of Hydraulic and Hydropower Engineering". The critical hydraulic gradient adopts the piping type with the highest risk factor, and its expression is: (10)

[0096] In the formula: The soil permeability coefficient; The particle size of soil particles that account for less than 3% of the total soil weight is denoted as n; n is the porosity.

[0097] The hydraulic gradient is allowed to be controlled by a threshold coefficient (C) to obtain two levels of control indicators, which are divided into three intervals: (11)

[0098] In the formula: The hydraulic gradient threshold is for level C; C represents the threshold coefficients of 0.8 and 1.2, which can be adjusted according to the importance of the hydraulic structure; by comparing the range of the control index for the hydraulic gradient monitored at level j, the seepage safety rating score can be obtained. ): 100, 50, 0.

[0099] B) Regarding leakage, this invention utilizes a corresponding leakage threshold to evaluate the safety of seepage monitoring data. According to the "Code for Geological Investigation of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Projects," the basic leakage calculation value can be expressed as: (12)

[0100] In the formula, This refers to the upstream water level elevation. The downstream water level is the elevation; L is the horizontal distance between the upstream and downstream water levels, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0101] Based on the different upstream and downstream water levels, the allowable leakage threshold q is calculated. 允许 The multi-level control indicators can be obtained according to the following formula: (13)

[0102] In the formula: The threshold for seepage flow at level C is given, where C is a threshold coefficient of 0.8 or 1.2, which can be adjusted according to the importance of the hydraulic structure. The seepage safety rating score can be obtained from the range of the control index for the j-th monitored seepage flow. ): 100, 50, 0.

[0103] C) For the comprehensive evaluation of seepage safety, the total score for this module is calculated by summing the various hydraulic gradients and seepage flows using the following formula: (14)

[0104] Submodule ratings can be determined by scores. The classes are divided into: Class 4 (0, 25), Class 3 (25, 50), Class 2 (50, 75), and Class 1 (75, 100).

[0105] (V) Structural Safety Module (Module Five)

[0106] This invention relates to a structural safety module, which consists of two sub-items: 1. Deformable structural safety analysis, and 2. Stable structural safety analysis.

[0107] A) Deformation structure safety analysis mainly refers to the "Design Code for Rolled Earth-Rock Dams" (SL274-2001), which stipulates that "the settlement of the dam crest after completion should not exceed 1% of the dam height." Years of engineering practice have shown that settlement less than 1% of the dam height after completion generally does not produce significant cracks, while settlement greater than 1% to 3% is more likely to cause cracks. Therefore, the maximum dam height (H) is adopted. max The safety of deformable structures is discussed in a tiered manner, using 1% and 3% as secondary control indicators. The following formula is used to obtain: (15)

[0108] In the formula: Let C be the maximum dam height, and C be the threshold coefficients of 0.01 and 0.03 respectively. The corresponding structural safety rating score can be obtained from the range of the control index for the j-th monitored settlement displacement. ): 100, 50, 0.

[0109] B) Stability structural safety analysis, according to the "Code for Design of Slopes in Water Conservancy and Hydropower Projects" (SL386-2007), the control indicators for stability structural safety are ( It can be determined by the following formula: (16)

[0110] In the formula: The value is 1.1, and C is the threshold coefficient, which is 1.0 and 1.2 respectively. The safety factor is calculated from this. By comparing the control index range, the corresponding structural safety rating score can be obtained. ): 100, 50, 0. The safety factor can be determined using the Swedish slice method. When the soil structure is discretized into m soil strips for analysis, according to the principle of limit equilibrium, the sliding moment = the resisting moment, and the safety factor... Then we have: (17)

[0111] In the formula: , , Let be the cohesion, angle of internal friction, and weight of the m-th soil block, respectively. , , respectively, represent the length of the slip surface and the horizontal angle of the m-th soil block.

[0112] 3) For the comprehensive evaluation of structural safety, the total score in Module 5 combines the scores for deformation and stability structural safety ratings, and can be calculated using the following formula: (18)

[0113] Submodule ratings can be determined by scores. The classes are divided into: Class 4 (0, 25), Class 3 (25, 50), Class 2 (50, 75), and Class 1 (75, 100).
