Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tailings pond safety monitoring, and in particular to a quantitative evaluation method, device, terminal and storage medium for the instability and dam break of a tailings pond. Background Art

[0002] Tailings ponds are a major source of danger. Safety monitoring of tailings ponds is an important method to ensure the safe operation of tailings ponds. Through the safety warning of the monitoring system, precious time can be provided for the safe evacuation of people and property downstream. Therefore, establishing reasonable warning conditions for tailings ponds through monitoring is the key to safety warning.

[0003] Displacement monitoring is an important monitoring content in tailings pond monitoring. Unlike ordinary slopes, the displacement of tailings ponds is affected by the heightening of the dam body and the change of the dry beach length during operation. The heightening of the dam body often leads to a large displacement, which leads to the phenomenon that the displacement monitoring value continues to increase. In ordinary slope monitoring, the continuous increase in displacement is often a precursor to slope instability. Therefore, the continuous increase in displacement can be used to judge the stability of the slope. In the tailings pond, the continuous increase in displacement may be the deformation caused by the increase in gravity and the consolidation of tailings during the heightening of the tailings pond. It is a continuous deformation under normal conditions and is not necessarily a precursor to the instability of the tailings pond. Therefore, unlike ordinary slopes and other buildings, the continuous increase in the displacement of the tailings pond cannot judge the safety of the tailings pond. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new discrimination method to realize the safety of the tailings pond by monitoring the displacement to ensure the safety of the tailings pond.

[0004] At present, all tailings ponds have established online monitoring systems, and the system platforms have established digital models and displacement monitoring modules of the tailings ponds. However, there is currently no good method to fully utilize the digital models and displacement monitoring data in the online monitoring systems to quantitatively determine the safety factor and potential dam failure range of the tailings ponds.

[0005] With the development of computers and the Internet of Things, digital twin technology will be applied to tailings dam monitoring. Judging the safety of tailings dams based on the combination of digital model calculation and monitoring is the development trend of tailings dam safety monitoring in the future. Therefore, developing methods that can be applied to digital twin technology to quantitatively evaluate the safety of tailings dams and the scope of potential dam failure is of great significance to promoting the comprehensive application of numerical twins in tailings dams, but the technology is not yet mature.

[0031] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present application.

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, specific embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] At present, although all tailings ponds have established online monitoring systems and the system platforms have established digital models and displacement monitoring modules for the tailings ponds, there is currently no good method for making full use of the digital models and displacement monitoring data in the online monitoring systems to quantitatively determine the safety factor and potential dam failure range of the tailings ponds.

[0034] Moreover, with the development of computers and the Internet of Things, digital twin technology has begun to be applied in tailings ponds. However, there is currently no reasonable technology and algorithm for making full use of the digital model of the tailings pond in the digital twin technology and the perception technology of the displacement and deformation of the tailings pond to quantitatively evaluate the safety of the tailings pond.

[0035] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a quantitative evaluation method for tailings dam instability and dam break based on the combination of tailings dam digital model calculation and displacement monitoring, aiming to solve the key technical problem of the lack of "a method for quantitatively evaluating the safety factor and potential dam break range of the tailings dam corresponding to a certain monitoring displacement" in the tailings dam online monitoring system or digital twin platform.

[0036] The specific design principles of the quantitative evaluation method for tailings dam instability and dam break are as follows:

[0037] (1) Before the tailings pond undergoes sliding failure, local damage often occurs first in the dam body. The tailings material in this area is destroyed, thus producing a plastic zone. As the plastic zone expands, plastic sliding displacement is induced in the tailings pond. Plastic sliding displacement is a precursor to the collapse of the tailings pond. It can be seen that the potential damage zone of the tailings pond can be determined by plastic sliding displacement.

[0038] (2) In the deformation of the tailings pond under the effects of dry spreading length, dam heightening, etc., the plastic sliding displacement is a key parameter for determining the safety of the tailings pond. This type of deformation often causes local changes in the shape of the tailings pond dam surface, but has little effect on the total volume of the tailings pond. Therefore, according to the shape of the tailings pond determined by monitoring, the volume of the tailings after deformation is determined, and the shape of the tailings pond after deformation is calculated by adjusting the elastic parameters of the tailings material using elastic finite elements so that the calculated volume of the tailings pond is the same as the volume of the detected tailings pond. Then, the calculated shape of the tailings pond is compared with the shape of the tailings pond determined by monitoring, and the plastic sliding displacement and distribution area of ​​the tailings pond can be determined.

[0039] (3) Analyze the distribution pattern of plastic displacement zones and preliminarily identify the potential sliding areas of the tailings pond.

[0040] (4) If sliding plastic displacement occurs in a local area, an elastic-plastic finite element model is established, and the strength reduction method is used to determine the strength parameters of the tailings sand corresponding to the plastic displacement. Then, the safety factor and potential sliding range of the tailings pond under the strength parameters are calculated, and the relationship between the monitoring displacement and the safety factor is established. The safety factor of the tailings pond is judged by the displacement, and the potential sliding range of the tailings pond is determined. The early warning conditions of the tailings pond are given according to the safety factor.

[0041] Correspondingly, this application establishes the relationship between the displacement monitoring data of the tailings pond and the safety factor of the tailings pond, and can quantitatively judge the safety factor of the tailings pond and the potential dam break range by monitoring the displacement. Moreover, this application can be applied to the online monitoring system of the tailings pond and the digital twin technology of tailings. By embedding the technology of this application into the online monitoring system and the digital twin model of the tailings pond, the safety factor of the tailings pond and the potential dam break range can be determined to effectively evaluate the safety of the tailings pond. At the same time, this application can also be used for the safety early warning of the entire tailings pond (three-dimensional), and can also be used for the safety early warning of the typical longitudinal section of the tailings pond (two-dimensional).

[0042] Figure 1 The implementation flow chart of the quantitative evaluation method for the instability and dam-breaking of the tailings pond provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail as follows:

[0043] In step 101, an initial finite element model of the tailings pond is established using the initial geometric shape and tailings material parameters of the target tailings pond, wherein the geometric shape includes the total volume and shape, and the tailings material parameters include elastic modulus, cohesion and friction angle.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the initial geometry and tailings pond parameters of the target tailings pond are obtained, wherein the geometry includes the total volume and shape, and the tailings material parameters include elastic modulus, cohesion and friction angle. Then, the initial finite element model of the tailings pond is established using the initial geometry and tailings parameters of the target tailings pond.

[0045] In a possible implementation, using the initial geometry of the target tailings pond and the tailings material parameters, an initial finite element model of the tailings pond is established, which may include:

[0046] Use 3D laser scanning or drone photography to obtain the initial geometry of the target tailings pond;

[0047] Use geological survey data to obtain tailings material parameters in the target tailings pond;

[0048] The initial finite element model of the tailings pond is established using the initial geometric shape of the target tailings pond and the tailings material parameters.

[0049] Optionally, according to the digital twin system of the target tailings pond, when the displacement monitoring of the target tailings pond begins, the initial geometric shape of the target tailings pond at this time is determined by using three-dimensional laser scanning or unmanned photography in the digital twin system. Figure 2 , including the initial geometry of the target tailings pond and the infiltration line.

[0050] Then, based on the geological survey data, the tailings material parameters in the target tailings pond are determined, including but not limited to the bulk density, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, cohesion, friction angle, permeability coefficient and the dry spread length of the tailings pond at this time.

[0051] Finally, the initial finite element model of the target tailings pond is established using the initial geometric shape and tailings material parameters of the target tailings pond.

[0052] In step 102, the initial finite element model of the tailings pond is updated using the effect of the target tailings pond within the target monitoring period, and the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is used as the first finite element model of the tailings pond.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the effects of the target tailings pond within the target monitoring period are obtained, such as changes in the dry spread length and heightening of the tailings pond caused by heavy rain, and the effects of the target tailings pond within the target monitoring period are obtained. Then, the initial finite element model of the tailings pond is updated using the effects to obtain a first finite element model of the tailings pond.

[0054] In a possible implementation, the initial finite element model of the tailings pond is updated by using the effect of the target tailings pond in the target monitoring period, and the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is used as the first tailings pond finite element model, which may include:

[0055] Obtain the effects of the target tailings pond within the target monitoring period, including changes in dry-spread length and dam height;

[0056] Update the initial finite element model of the tailings pond using the action effects;

[0057] The cohesion of the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is enlarged by a target multiple, and the tangent value of the friction angle of the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is enlarged by a target multiple to obtain a first tailings pond finite element model.

[0058] Optionally, the initial finite element model of the tailings pond is used to simulate the effect, and the perception module in the digital twin system is used to record the effect of the target tailings pond in real time during the target monitoring period. The effect may include the change in the dry spread length of the tailings pond and the change in the height of the dam body. Then, the initial finite element model of the tailings pond is updated using the effect.

[0059] For example, if the effect is that heavy rain causes the dry spread length of the target tailings pond to change to ΔL and the dam body to be raised by ΔH, then if the effect is that heavy rain causes the change in the dry spread length, the dry spread length in the initial finite element model of the tailings pond is changed to (L+ΔL); if the effect is that heavy rain causes the dam body to be raised, then the initial finite element model of the tailings pond simulates the dam body heightening by ΔH, that is, the dam body height is (H+ΔH).

[0060] For specific dry-spread length and dam height change, refer to Figure 3 As shown, after the target monitoring period, there are differences in height and length between the initial geometry of the target tailings pond and the tailings pond profile monitored in real time.

[0061] Finally, the cohesion of the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is enlarged by a target multiple, and the tangent value of the friction angle of the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is also enlarged by a target multiple, so as to obtain the first tailings pond finite element model.

[0062] Exemplarily, if the target multiple is 1000, the cohesion of the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is increased by 1000 times, and the tangent value of the friction angle of the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond is increased by 1000 times to ensure that the displacement calculated by the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond based on the action effect does not show plastic displacement.

[0063] In step 103, the elastic modulus of the finite element model of the first tailings pond is adjusted so that the total volume of the simulated geometric shape of the finite element model of the first tailings pond is equal to the total volume of the measured geometric shape, and the elastic modulus when the total volume is equal is used as the target elastic modulus, and the measured geometric shape is the measured geometric shape of the target tailings pond within the target monitoring period.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, after the tangent value of the friction angle and the cohesion of the updated initial finite element model of the tailings pond are enlarged by the target multiples, the elastic modulus of the first tailings pond finite element model is adjusted, and the corresponding first tailings pond finite element model is used to obtain the simulated geometric form in the process of continuous adjustment, so that the total volume of the simulated geometric form of the first tailings pond finite element model and the measured geometric form of the target tailings pond after the target monitoring period is equal, and the elastic modulus at this time is recorded, and the elastic modulus at this time is used as the target elastic modulus. Among them, the measured geometric form of the target tailings pond is the measured geometric form of the target tailings within the target monitoring period.

[0065] After adjusting the elastic modulus, the updated simulation geometry of the first tailings pond finite element model is referenced Figure 4 shown.

[0066] In a possible implementation, after adjusting the elastic modulus of the first tailings pond finite element model so that the total volume of the simulated geometric form of the first tailings pond finite element model is equal to the total volume of the measured geometric form, and taking the elastic modulus when the total volumes are equal as the target elastic modulus, the method may further include:

[0067] Determining whether the shape of the simulated geometric form of the updated first tailings pond finite element model coincides with the shape of the measured geometric form;

[0068] If the shape of the simulated geometric form of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond coincides with the shape of the measured geometric form, the target tailings pond is determined to be safe;

[0069] If the shape of the simulated geometric form of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond does not coincide with the shape of the measured geometric form, it is determined that sliding plastic displacement occurs in the target tailings pond;

[0070] Accordingly, adjusting the cohesion and friction angle of the updated first tailings pond finite element model so that the simulated geometric shape of the updated first tailings pond finite element model coincides with the shape of the measured geometric shape may include:

[0071] After determining that the target tailings pond has undergone sliding plastic displacement, the cohesion and friction angle of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond are adjusted so that the simulated geometric shape of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond coincides with the shape of the measured geometric shape.

[0072] Optionally, after adjusting the elastic modulus of the finite element model of the first tailings pond, it is necessary to compare the simulated geometry of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond with the measured geometry of the target tailings pond to determine whether plastic sliding displacement occurs in the target tailings pond.

[0073] If the simulated geometry of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond coincides with the measured geometry of the target tailings pond, it is determined that the displacements of the target tailings pond are all elastic displacements and no plastic sliding displacements occur, which means that the target tailings pond is safe.

[0074] If the simulated geometry of the updated first tailings pond finite element model does not coincide with the measured geometry of the target tailings pond, Figure 5 As shown, local areas of the tailings dam surface are located above the dam surface of the updated simulated geometric shape of the first tailings pond, and local areas are located below the dam surface of the updated simulated geometric shape of the first tailings pond, indicating that sliding plastic displacement has occurred in the target tailings pond and there is a safety risk. At this time, the area where the plastic sliding displacement is concentrated is the potential sliding area of ​​the target tailings pond, from which the sliding range of the dam surface of the target tailings pond can be preliminarily determined, but it is still necessary to further judge the internal sliding area of ​​the target tailings pond and the safety of the target tailings pond, that is, to adjust the cohesion and friction angle of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond so that the simulated geometric shape of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond coincides with the shape of the measured geometric shape.

[0075] In a possible implementation, after determining whether the shape of the simulated geometric form of the updated first tailings pond finite element model coincides with the shape of the measured geometric form, the method may further include:

[0076] If it is determined that the target tailings pond is safe, the display device will prompt that the current target tailings pond is safe.

[0077] If it is determined that sliding plastic displacement occurs in the target tailings pond, a display device will be used to indicate that there is a safety risk in the current target tailings pond.

[0078] In step 104, the cohesion and friction angle of the updated first tailings pond finite element model are adjusted so that the simulated geometric shape and the measured geometric shape of the updated first tailings pond finite element model coincide with each other, and the cohesion when the shapes coincide is used as the target cohesion, and the friction angle when the shapes coincide is used as the target friction angle.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining that the target tailings pond has plastic sliding displacement, the cohesion and friction angle of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond are adjusted, and the corresponding updated finite element model of the first tailings pond is used to obtain the simulated geometric shape during the continuous adjustment process, so that the simulated geometric shape of the updated first tailings pond finite element model and the measured geometric shape of the target tailings pond coincide with each other, that is, the plastic sliding displacement of the target tailings pond in the simulated geometric shape and the measured geometric shape is the same, the corresponding cohesion and friction angle at this time are recorded, and the corresponding cohesion at this time is used as the target cohesion, and the corresponding friction angle at this time is used as the target friction angle.

[0080] In a possible implementation, adjusting the cohesion and friction angle of the updated first tailings pond finite element model so that the simulated geometric shape of the updated first tailings pond finite element model coincides with the shape of the measured geometric shape may include:

[0081] The strength reduction method is used to adjust the cohesion and friction angle of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond so that the simulated geometric shape of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond coincides with the shape of the measured geometric shape.

[0082] Optionally, the embodiment of the present application adopts the strength reduction method to continuously adjust the cohesion and friction angle of the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond so that the simulated geometric shape of the updated finite element of the first tailings pond coincides with the shape of the measured geometric shape of the target tailings pond.

[0083] In step 105, the elastic modulus, cohesion and friction angle of the first tailings pond finite element model are updated using the target elastic modulus, target cohesion and target friction angle respectively to obtain the target tailings pond finite element model, and the target tailings pond finite element model is analyzed using a stability analysis method to obtain the safety factor of the target tailings pond under the measured geometric shape and the corresponding plastic penetration area.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the target elastic modulus obtained in step 103 is used to update the elastic modulus of the initial finite element model of the tailings pond, the target cohesion obtained in step 104 is used to update the cohesion of the first tailings pond finite element model, and the target friction angle obtained in step 104 is used to update the friction angle of the first tailings pond finite element model, and the updated finite element model of the first tailings pond is used as the target tailings pond finite element model.

[0085] Then, the finite element model of the target tailings reservoir is analyzed using the stability analysis method to determine the safety factor of the target tailings reservoir under the measured geometric form and the plastic penetration area corresponding to the safety factor. Figure 6 shown.

[0086] Among them, the stability analysis method may include but is not limited to the strength reduction method and the limit equilibrium method, and the limit equilibrium method may also include the simplified Bishop method and the Swedish arc method.

[0087] In a possible implementation, after obtaining the safety factor of the target tailings pond and the corresponding plastic breakthrough area, the method may further include:

[0088] Determine the safety level of the target tailings pond according to the safety factor of the target tailings pond;

[0089] Based on the plastic breakthrough area, the potential sliding area when the target tailings pond fails within the current monitoring period is determined.

[0090] Optionally, the embodiment of the present application can use the safety factor of the target tailings pond to quantitatively evaluate the safety of the target tailings pond after a certain displacement deformation during the monitoring period. The plastic penetration area can also be used to determine the potential sliding area when the target tailings pond breaks during the monitoring period.

[0091] The embodiments of the present application solve the problem that it is difficult to achieve tailings pond safety warning based on tailings pond displacement monitoring data, which not only improves the technological progress in this field, but also improves the prediction effect of the safety level of tailings ponds.

[0092] After the target monitoring cycle is completed, the embodiment of the present application uses the target tailings pond finite element model obtained in the target monitoring cycle as the initial finite element model of the tailings pond for the next monitoring cycle, and updates the corresponding initial geometric shape with tailings material parameters. The execution is repeated to obtain the safety factor of the target tailings pond in different monitoring cycles and the corresponding plastic penetration area.

[0093] In a possible implementation, after obtaining the safety factor of the target tailings pond under the applied effect and the corresponding plastic penetration area, the method may further include:
