Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of geotechnical analysis technology, and in particular to a geotechnical reliability analysis method, apparatus, electronic equipment, medium, and program product. Background Technology
[0002] In geotechnical engineering, soil and rock parameters generally exhibit complex correlations. For example, there is a common negative correlation between the shear strength index cohesion and the internal friction angle of soil. For reliability analysis and risk assessment in geotechnical engineering, constructing a model that accurately reflects the probabilistic characteristics of soil and rock parameters is crucial. However, the practical challenge lies in the fact that test data or experimental data obtained from geotechnical engineering sites are often very limited. This directly leads to the difficulty in comprehensively establishing a multivariate probability distribution model for soil and rock parameters, i.e., facing the problem of incomplete probabilistic information. Therefore, when conducting engineering reliability analysis, geotechnical engineers must confront the reality of incomplete probabilistic information and instead rely on unilateral probabilistic descriptions of soil and rock parameters and limited knowledge of the correlation coefficients between these parameters to conduct risk assessments.
[0003] In related technologies, many researchers combine Copula theory with Monte Carlo simulation to solve complex geotechnical engineering reliability analysis problems. Research results show that the differences in how different Copula functions characterize the correlation structure between geotechnical parameters directly lead to different distribution patterns of sample points generated under the same failure domain conditions, thus affecting the final reliability assessment results of geotechnical structures. The root cause of this difference lies in the sensitivity of Copula functions to the number of samples within the failure domain and their unique sample generation mechanism. Specifically, some Copula functions may tend to generate samples in the edge regions of the failure domain, while others may more evenly cover the entire failure domain. This uneven distribution of samples directly affects the reliability analysis results. Furthermore, this method gradually reveals its efficiency bottleneck when performing numerical simulations of implicit function (EV) commonly found in practical engineering. Implicit function often involves complex physical processes and computational models, requiring significant computational resources for each simulation. Therefore, with limited computational resources, this method may struggle to efficiently complete geotechnical structure reliability analysis under low failure probability conditions, limiting its widespread application in engineering practice.
[0004] A first-order reliability method based on the first-order Taylor series expansion of the function has attracted considerable attention. This method approximates the complex nonlinear function as a linear function by performing a first-order Taylor series expansion of the function at the design point, thus greatly simplifying the reliability assessment calculation process. This method not only effectively reduces computational costs, making it possible to perform rapid and repeated reliability analyses even with limited resources, but also, through reasonable approximations, often meets the accuracy requirements of engineering practice for reliability assessment while maintaining high precision. Specifically, the first-order reliability method iteratively approximates the true failure probability of the soil structure by iterating through the design points of the soil and rock parameters. In each iteration, the position of the next design point is estimated based on the current computational conditions, the first-order Taylor series expansion of the function is recalculated, and the estimated value of the design point is updated accordingly until the convergence condition is met.
[0005] However, when Copula theory and first-order reliability methods are combined in related technologies, the design point iteration process may converge slowly or even diverge, resulting in low computational efficiency. Furthermore, it can cause the design point to fall into periodic and chaotic solutions, leading to low stability. This severely limits the application of the first-order reliability method based on Copula theory in geotechnical engineering reliability analysis, and urgently needs to be addressed.

[0122] Step S103: Transform the design points of the soil and rock mass parameters into an uncertain physical space to calculate the reliability index and failure probability of the retaining wall, generating the soil and rock reliability analysis results. The expression for transforming the design points of the soil and rock mass parameters into the uncertain physical space can be, but is not limited to, the following:

[0131] .
[0132] Ultimately, we can obtain the reliability index corresponding to the Gaussian Copula function. = 3.5063 and failure probability The reliability index corresponding to the Plackett Copula function = 2.7048 and failure probability The reliability index corresponding to the Frank Copula function = 2.9790 and failure probability Reliability metrics corresponding to the No. 16 Copula function = 2.1506 and failure probability .
[0133] The reliability analysis results of the soil and rock can be generated based on the reliability index and failure probability of the retaining wall. For example, when the reliability index of the retaining wall is high and the failure probability is low, the soil and rock reliability is high; conversely, when the reliability index of the retaining wall is low and the failure probability is high, the soil and rock reliability is low. It should be noted that the specific reliability analysis results generated from the reliability index and failure probability of the retaining wall can be set or adjusted by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation. This is only an illustrative example and does not impose any specific limitations.
[0134] This application's embodiments, when faced with the significant impact of Copula functions on the reliability indicators and failure probability of retaining walls, seamlessly adapt to various complex and ever-changing related structures through its high flexibility, providing an effective tool for related research and development. This deepens engineers' understanding of how the uncertainty and correlation of geotechnical parameters subtly affect the reliability of geotechnical structures, and greatly enhances the ability to predict risks in the early stages of geotechnical structure design. It helps engineers formulate more precise and effective construction strategies to flexibly address various challenges caused by uncertainties during construction, thereby ensuring the overall safety and stability of geotechnical engineering.
[0135] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to a specific embodiment.
[0136] Figure 7 This is a flowchart of a geotechnical reliability analysis method based on iHLRF-BFGS according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown:
[0137] Step S701: Establish the function for the retaining wall;
[0138] Step S702: Determine the parameters and probability distribution information of the soil and rock mass in the physical space with uncertainty;
[0139] Step S703: Transform the soil and rock mass parameters in the physical space with uncertainty to an independent standard normal space;
[0140] Step S704: Iteratively calculate the design points of soil and rock parameters in the independent standard normal space;
[0141] Step S705: Transform the design points of soil and rock parameters in the independent standard normal space to a physical space with uncertainty;
[0142] Step S706: Calculate the reliability index and failure probability of the retaining wall.
[0143] According to the geotechnical reliability analysis method proposed in this application, the parameters and probability information of geotechnical mass in an uncertain physical space can be determined, the design points of geotechnical mass parameters in an independent standard normal space can be calculated, and the result can be transformed back to the uncertain physical space. This yields the reliability index and failure probability of the retaining wall, and ultimately the reliability analysis results of the geotechnical mass. Thus, the geotechnical reliability analysis based on the iHLRF-BFGS efficient iterative technique is realized. Only a few iterations are needed to accurately pinpoint the design points of geotechnical mass parameters. Even when facing highly complex nonlinear functional functions, the iterative process exhibits extremely high stability, effectively improving the stability and computational efficiency of this application. Furthermore, it demonstrates high adaptability to different Copula function selections, exhibiting high practicality and applicability, effectively meeting the needs of geotechnical mass reliability analysis in various scenarios. This solves the problems in related technologies, such as the slow convergence or even divergence of the design point iteration process when combining Copula theory and the first-order reliability method, resulting in low computational efficiency and the design point getting trapped in periodic and chaotic solutions with low stability, which seriously limits the application of the first-order reliability method based on Copula theory in geotechnical engineering reliability analysis.
