Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for monitoring and forecasting the safety of earth-rock dam seepage, and belongs to the technical field of dam safety monitoring and artificial intelligence. Background Art
[0002] As an important water conservancy project, the safety of dams directly affects the safety of people and property, social security and stability, and economic development in the region. An effective dam safety monitoring, forecasting, and early warning system can obtain real-time seepage data from the dam body and predict potential risks through model analysis, helping to promptly identify hidden dangers and take appropriate measures to ensure the safe operation of the dam. Using upstream water level, downstream water level, rainfall, and other independent variables as independent variables, and the dam seepage pressure level as the dependent variable, linear and nonlinear relationship expressions between the dependent and independent variables are established. Dam seepage safety monitoring and early warning indicators are formulated to diagnose the dam seepage safety situation in real time and predict the future dam seepage status. These are important theoretical methods and technical means to ensure the safe operation of dams. Therefore, developing efficient monitoring and early warning models and systems has important theoretical and practical significance.
[0003] Chinese invention patent publication number CN113221215A discloses a BIM-based method for visually monitoring and analyzing the dynamic seepage of earth-rockfill dams. This invention is applicable to the field of dam monitoring. The technical solution is as follows: real-time monitoring data is acquired through buried measuring points at the upstream, toe, and along the seepage lines of each section of the dam; the pressure head of the measuring point is calculated based on the seepage pressure at the measuring point, and the coordinates of the z-axis projection of the measuring point on the seepage line are obtained when the spatial coordinates (x, y, z) of the measuring point are determined; based on the monitoring data and the seepage line generation method in the previous step, the seepage line is generated and visualized on the BIM model; a particle swarm algorithm is used to optimize the inversion of the permeability coefficients of each material partition of the dam to generate the seepage field of the dam body and visualize it on the BIM model of the dam body section; a range check is performed on the real-time monitored seepage head data, the permeability coefficients of each partition obtained by inversion in the previous step, and the seepage field data obtained by forward calculation. If the range exceeds the system's preset critical value, an alarm message is generated at the corresponding problem point.
[0004] However, existing technologies struggle to account for the lag time of concentrated seepage channels within the dam body and foundation, resulting in low accuracy and insufficient prediction and early warning capabilities for nonlinear responses under complex seepage conditions. Furthermore, their low intelligence makes it difficult to implement real-time dam safety monitoring and early warning. To address this issue, a model method and system for monitoring, forecasting, and early warning of seepage safety in earth-rockfill dams that considers the lag time of seepage channels is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a seepage safety monitoring, forecasting and early warning system and method for earth-rock dams. Based on the automated monitoring data of dam safety, the system takes into account the influence of the lag time of concentrated leakage channels in the dam body and foundation, improves the accuracy, nonlinear response forecasting and early warning capabilities under complex seepage conditions, and the intelligence level, and realizes real-time dam safety monitoring and early warning.
