Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dam seepage monitoring, and specifically to a method and system for discriminating seepage in a double-layer dam foundation Background Art

[0002] As an important part of water conservancy projects, the stability of the foundation of a dam is directly related to the safe operation of the entire water conservancy facility. Due to the differences in the properties of the upper and lower soil layers in a heterogeneous double-layer dam foundation, seepage failure is extremely likely to occur under seepage action, which in turn triggers risks such as dam piping and landslides, threatening the safety of the lives and property of the surrounding people and the stability of the ecological environment. Accurately discriminating the seepage failure situation of a heterogeneous double-layer dam foundation is crucial for taking effective preventive measures in advance and ensuring the safety of the dam. Therefore, it is of great significance to invent a reliable method for discriminating seepage failure in a heterogeneous double-layer dam foundation.

[0003] Traditional techniques for discriminating seepage failure in dam foundations mostly rely on empirical judgment and simple on-site observations. For example, by observing whether phenomena such as water seepage and sand gushing appear on the surface of the dam to judge whether seepage failure has occurred. The advantage of this method is that it is simple to operate and has a low cost, without the need for complex equipment and professional knowledge, and can make a preliminary judgment on obvious signs of seepage failure to a certain extent. However, its disadvantages are also extremely obvious. On the one hand, this method overly relies on human subjective experience and lacks scientific quantitative analysis, making it difficult to accurately judge potential seepage failure risks; on the other hand, it can only be discovered when seepage failure has developed to a certain extent and obvious external manifestations appear, unable to achieve early warning and unable to take timely measures to prevent the further development of the failure, posing a large safety hazard.

[0004] Existing technologies have made certain progress in discriminating seepage failure in dam foundations, and some have adopted numerical simulation techniques and monitoring means. Numerical simulation techniques estimate potential seepage failure areas by constructing simple seepage models and calculating the seepage field and seepage force. At the same time, sensors are used to monitor parameters such as pore water pressure and seepage flow rate inside the dam. These technologies have made obvious progress compared with traditional methods, can analyze seepage problems more deeply, discover some potential seepage failure areas in advance, and can obtain monitoring data in real time. However, existing technologies still have deficiencies. On the one hand, existing seepage models often do not adequately consider the complexity of heterogeneous double-layer dam foundations, and fail to accurately reflect the influence of the differences in the parameters of the upper and lower soil layers and their interaction on the seepage field, resulting in deviations in calculation results; on the other hand, the layout of monitoring points lacks systematicness and pertinence, making it difficult to comprehensively capture the seepage changes in the entire dam foundation, easily missing important seepage failure information, and affecting the accuracy and reliability of discrimination results.

If both the change rate of pore water pressure and the seepage flow pressure exceed the preset corresponding thresholds, it is a heavy-risk seepage failure. If either the change rate of pore water pressure or the seepage flow pressure exceeds the preset corresponding threshold, it is a medium-risk seepage failure.

[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] This embodiment mainly describes a method for discriminating the seepage of a double-layer dam foundation, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0054] S1. Obtain the geological parameters of the double-layer dam to form a geological parameter set;

[0055] S2. According to the geological parameter set, construct a seepage numerical model of the double-layer dam foundation, where the seepage numerical model includes an upper-layer seepage numerical model and a lower-layer seepage numerical model. By setting different head differences in the seepage numerical model, simulate the seepage field distribution at each grid node of the double-layer dam foundation to obtain seepage field data;

[0056] S3. According to the seepage field data, calculate the seepage force of the grid nodes, and combine the soil shear strength indexes of the grid nodes to determine the potential seepage failure area;

[0057] S4. In the potential seepage failure area, set preset monitoring points to monitor the changes in pore water pressure and seepage flow rate at the preset monitoring points;

[0058] S5. Construct a seepage failure discrimination model. When the change in pore water pressure or seepage flow rate at the monitoring point exceeds the preset threshold and the duration reaches the set time, determine that seepage failure occurs in the monitoring area and output the seepage determination result;

[0059] S6. Perform grading processing according to the determination result of seepage failure, and output the graded seepage warning information through the seepage grading model.

[0060] Furthermore, the geological parameters of the double-layer dam include upper-layer geological parameters and lower-layer geological parameters; the upper-layer geological parameters include upper-layer permeability coefficient, porosity, saturation, and soil thickness; the lower-layer geological parameters include lower-layer permeability coefficient, porosity, saturation, soil thickness, and compression modulus.

[0061] Furthermore, the construction of the upper-layer seepage numerical model in S2 specifically includes:

[0062] Obtain the soil parameters of the upper-layer soil microelement, and construct the seepage continuity equation, the formula is: , where is the spatial coordinate of the microelement, is the time, is the upper-layer geological water head, is the upper-layer geological porosity, is the upper-layer geological saturation; obtain the seepage velocity component of the upper-layer soil in the direction, the formula is: , where are respectively the seepage velocity components of the upper-layer soil in the direction, is the permeability coefficient of the upper layer of geology. By coupling and solving with the above formula, the seepage field of the upper-layer microelement is obtained, and through the continuous fitting of the microelements, the upper-layer seepage numerical model is formed.

[0063] Further, the construction of the lower-layer seepage numerical model in S2 specifically includes:

[0064] Obtain the soil parameters of the lower-layer soil microelement, and construct the seepage continuity equation. The formula is: , where is the spatial coordinate of the microelement, is the time, is the lower-layer geological water head, is the lower-layer geological porosity, is the lower-layer geological saturation; Obtain the seepage velocity component of the lower-layer soil in the direction. The formula is: , where are respectively the seepage velocity components of the lower-layer soil in the direction, is the lower-layer geological permeability coefficient. The porosity of the lower-layer soil is affected by compression deformation, and it is coupled and solved in combination with the compression modulus. The formula is: , where is the lower-layer geological stress; By obtaining the seepage field of the lower-layer microelement and performing continuous fitting of the microelements, the lower-layer seepage numerical model is formed.

[0065] Further, couple the upper-layer seepage numerical model with the lower-layer seepage numerical model, set transition elements at the interface between the upper and lower layers, use dynamic loading technology to simulate the gradual change of the water head difference, capture the multi-dimensional seepage information of the grid nodes, and use distributed storage technology to store the seepage data under different grid nodes and water head difference simulations in multiple associated storage units to obtain the seepage field data.

[0066] Further, as Figure 2 shown, the grid nodes are obtained through the grid division intersection method, which specifically includes:

[0067] S2.1. Conduct geological exploration and structural analysis on the double-layer dam foundation to clarify the boundaries of the upper and lower-layer soils, the changing areas of geological materials, and the existing weak parts;

[0068] S2.2. For the areas in the double-layer dam foundation where the seepage change is relatively gentle and the geological conditions are relatively uniform, use a larger-scale grid for division; in the areas where the seepage change is drastic, the geological conditions are complex, the potential areas of seepage failure, and the parts with geological defects, use a smaller-scale grid for division;

[0069] S2.3. After grid division, through a grid connection method with gradual transition, the size change between adjacent grids is gradually reduced. Combining the actual shape and boundary conditions of the dam foundation, grid division intersections are carried out to obtain grid nodes.

[0070] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned S3, according to the seepage field data obtained from the simulation, the seepage force of the grid nodes is calculated. Combining the soil shear strength indexes of the grid nodes, the potential seepage failure area is determined, specifically including:

[0071] Obtain the seepage velocity of the grid nodes , the unit weight of water and the porosity of the soil corresponding to the node , calculate the seepage force of the grid nodes . The formula is: , where the seepage velocity is obtained from the seepage field data; obtain the soil friction angle , cohesion and effective stress of the grid nodes, and calculate the soil shear strength . The formula is: , where the effective stress is obtained from the total stress and pore water pressure of the grid nodes. The formula is: ; obtain the safety factor of the grid nodes. The formula is: . If the safety factor of the grid node is less than the preset safety factor , it is determined as a potential seepage grid node. Through continuous screening, the obtained potential seepage grid nodes are networked to form a potential seepage failure area.

[0072] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned S5, an infiltration failure discrimination model is constructed. Monitor the change of pore water pressure or seepage flow rate at the monitoring points in the potential seepage failure area. If it exceeds the preset pore water pressure threshold or seepage flow rate change threshold and the duration reaches the set time, it is determined that the monitored area has suffered infiltration failure and the infiltration determination result is output. Specifically:

[0073] Obtain the pore water pressure of the monitoring points in the infiltration failure area at time . The pore water pressure at the initial moment in the infiltration failure area is . The seepage flow rate is . The initial seepage flow rate is . The preset pore water pressure threshold in the infiltration failure area is . The seepage flow rate threshold is . The set monitoring duration is and the change rate of seepage flow , and the formula is: , , a seepage failure discrimination function is constructed through the change rate of pore water pressure and the change rate of seepage flow pressure in the seepage failure area , and the formula is: .

[0074] Furthermore, the grading process is carried out according to the determination result of seepage failure, and the graded seepage warning information is output through the seepage grading model; the seepage grading model is constructed by accepting the seepage failure value output by the seepage failure discrimination model. If both the change rate of pore water pressure and the seepage flow pressure exceed the corresponding preset thresholds, it is a heavy-risk seepage failure. If either the change rate of pore water pressure or the seepage flow pressure exceeds the corresponding preset threshold, it is a medium-risk seepage failure. If neither the change rate of pore water pressure nor the seepage flow pressure exceeds the corresponding preset threshold, it is a low-risk seepage failure.

[0075] This embodiment details constructing a seepage numerical model by obtaining the geological parameters of the double-layer dam, simulating the seepage field distribution to obtain data, calculating the seepage force and shear strength to determine the potential failure area, monitoring the changes in pore water pressure and seepage flow and constructing a discrimination model, and grading the determination result to output warning information. It solves the problem that it is difficult to accurately discriminate and warn the seepage failure of the heterogeneous double-layer dam foundation, realizes the accurate positioning, real-time monitoring and grading warning of the seepage failure area, improves the accuracy and timeliness of the seepage failure discrimination of the dam, and effectively guarantees the safety of the dam.

[0076] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment describes coupling the upper-layer seepage numerical model and the lower-layer seepage numerical model, setting transition units at the interface between the upper and lower layers, using dynamic loading technology to simulate the gradual change of the water head difference, capturing multi-dimensional seepage information of grid nodes, and using distributed storage technology to store the seepage data under different grid nodes and water head difference simulations in multiple associated storage units to obtain the seepage field data. Specifically:

[0077] In the seepage analysis of heterogeneous double-layer dam foundations, the upper-layer seepage numerical model is coupled with the lower-layer seepage numerical model to simulate the seepage situation of the entire dam foundation. Due to different geological parameters of the upper and lower soil layers, there are differences in seepage characteristics. The coupling process is first based on their physical connection relationship, that is, the seepage continuity at the interface between the upper and lower soil layers. From the perspective of the mathematical model, the upper-layer seepage numerical model is obtained by establishing the seepage continuity equation for the tiny element of the upper soil layer and coupling and solving it in combination with the seepage velocity component formula; the same applies to the lower-layer model. When coupling, it is necessary to ensure the continuity of the water head and seepage velocity at the interface. For example, at the interface, the seepage velocity of the upper soil layer is equal to that of the lower soil layer in the vertical direction, and the water head values are also the same. This requires that during the calculation process, the seepage information at the interface obtained from the upper-layer model be transmitted to the lower-layer model, and vice versa.

[0078] An iterative algorithm is used to independently calculate the seepage fields of the upper and lower-layer models under the initial conditions. According to the relationship between the water head and seepage velocity at the interface, the parameters in the model, such as boundary conditions and initial values, are adjusted and calculated again. This process is continuously repeated until the water head and seepage velocity at the interface reach stability within a certain accuracy range, that is, the coupling of the upper and lower-layer seepage numerical models is achieved. This coupling method can comprehensively consider the interaction between the upper and lower soil layers and more realistically reflect the seepage situation of the entire dam foundation, providing a reliable model basis for accurately analyzing seepage failure subsequently.

[0079] During the coupling process of the upper and lower-layer seepage numerical models, setting transition elements at the interface between the upper and lower layers is an important means to solve the influence of the parameter differences of the upper and lower soil layers on seepage. Due to different geological parameters such as permeability coefficients and porosities of the upper and lower soil layers, seepage will undergo a sudden change when passing through the interface, resulting in inaccurate calculation results.

[0080] The purpose of setting transition elements is to alleviate this sudden change and enable seepage to transition smoothly. The size and shape of the transition elements need to be reasonably designed according to the characteristics of the upper and lower soil layers and the mesh division situation. The size of the transition elements should change gradually, transitioning from the mesh size of the upper soil layer to that of the lower soil layer to avoid discontinuous seepage at the interface. When determining the physical properties of the transition elements, the geological parameters of the upper and lower soil layers are comprehensively considered. For example, for the permeability coefficient, the weighted average method can be used to determine the equivalent permeability coefficient of the transition element according to the distance or volume ratio between the upper and lower soil layers and the transition element. In this way, the transition element has some characteristics of both the upper and lower soil layers, enabling seepage to gradually adapt to different soil conditions when passing through the interface.

[0081] The setting of the transition unit can also effectively reduce the errors in numerical calculations. In numerical simulations, grid discontinuities and parameter mutations are likely to cause numerical oscillations. The transition unit reduces the possibility of such oscillations by smoothing the seepage changes, improving the stability and accuracy of the calculation results. By reasonably setting the transition unit, the smooth transmission of seepage at the interface of the upper and lower soil layers is ensured, providing strong support for accurately simulating the seepage field of the entire dam foundation.

[0082] The dynamic loading technique is used to simulate the gradual change of the water head difference, reflecting the seepage effect on the heterogeneous double-layer dam foundation during actual operation. The water head difference between the upstream and downstream of the dam is not constant, but gradually changes with factors such as water level changes; the dynamic loading technique realizes the gradual change of the water head difference by gradually adjusting the water head boundary conditions in the seepage numerical model. In the initial stage, a relatively small water head difference is set to simulate the seepage situation of the dam under a certain initial state, and the corresponding seepage field data is calculated. Then, according to a certain time step and loading rate, the water head difference is gradually increased or decreased, and the seepage field is calculated again. This process is repeated continuously to simulate the continuous change of the water head difference over time.

[0083] The loading rate is determined according to the actual engineering situation and research purpose. If the loading rate is too fast, the detailed changes in the seepage field cannot be accurately captured; if the loading rate is too slow, the calculation cost and time will increase. Through multiple tests and comparisons, combined with engineering experience, the loading rate is determined.

[0084] During the simulation process, the dynamic loading technique is used to observe the changes in the seepage field in real time. As the water head difference gradually increases, the changing trends of seepage velocity and water head distribution parameters can be seen, as well as the influence of these changes on the potential seepage failure area. Using dynamic simulation can comprehensively understand the seepage characteristics of the dam foundation under different water head difference conditions.

[0085] During the seepage simulation of the heterogeneous double-layer dam foundation, a large amount of seepage data under different grid nodes and different water head differences are generated. The distributed storage technique is used to store them in multiple associated storage units; the distributed storage technique adopts a multi-node storage architecture and disperses the data in multiple storage units; during the seepage simulation, after the seepage data of each grid node is calculated, according to the preset storage rules, it is allocated to different storage units. For example, the storage location of the data can be determined through a specific algorithm based on information such as the grid node number and the size of the water head difference. This improves the storage capacity and scalability of the data. As the simulation scale increases, the data volume will continue to increase. The distributed storage technique can easily expand the storage capacity by adding storage nodes to meet the needs of data growth; the distributed storage technique enhances the reliability and fault tolerance of the data. Since the data is dispersed and stored on multiple nodes, even if a certain node fails, the data on other nodes can still be accessed normally without data loss.

[0086] This embodiment details the precise simulation of seepage in a heterogeneous double-layer dam foundation and the efficient processing of data. The model coupling ensures the consideration of the interaction between the upper and lower soil layers. The transition element mitigates the sudden change in seepage to improve the calculation accuracy. The dynamic loading simulates the gradual change of the water head difference to reflect the actual working conditions. The distributed storage technology efficiently manages the massive seepage data, making the seepage simulation more in line with the actual situation, accurately locating potential seepage failure areas, providing a reliable basis for the dam safety assessment and the formulation of protection measures, and effectively ensuring the safe and stable operation of the dam.
