[0029] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for intelligent tunnel design is provided. First, a preliminary geological environment description is formed based on the input geographic location data and geological parameters. Then, at least two tunnel design schemes with different directions and cross-sectional shapes are created based on these descriptions and the knowledge base, and each scheme is subjected to structural stability and construction feasibility analysis. Next, the design schemes are scored and ranked using a preset scoring standard, and the design scheme with the highest score is selected as the preferred scheme, and a detailed structural diagram is generated based on this. Subsequently, a three-dimensional digital model of the preferred scheme is constructed using the detailed structural diagram, and a virtual construction simulation is performed on it to identify potential construction difficulties. The design details are adjusted according to the identified problems to form an improved design scheme. The present invention can select the most suitable tunnel design scheme through analysis of geological data and automatic evaluation of multiple schemes, and avoid risk points in advance through virtual construction simulation, effectively reducing changes and rework during the construction process, thereby shortening the construction period and reducing costs. Specifically as follows:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the tunnel intelligent design method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0032] S1: Input the tunnel geographical location data and geological parameters Dgeo, and form a preliminary geological environment description Egeo through analysis: Egeo = f(Dgeo), where f is the process of forming the geological environment description;

[0033] Furthermore, forming a preliminary geological environment description includes: collecting topographic and geomorphic information of the proposed tunnel location; combining the topographic and geomorphic information, collecting data on geological structure, rock characteristics, topography, hydrogeological conditions and climatic factors to determine geological stability factors; analyzing the geological stability factors and conducting a geological hazard risk assessment to identify potential geological risk areas, and based on the identified geological risk areas, formulating corresponding risk mitigation measures and incorporating them into the geological environment description.

[0034] The specific steps of this stage are as follows:

[0035] Collection of topographic information: Use remote sensing satellite images, aerial photogrammetry and other technical means to obtain topographic information of the proposed tunnel area, including but not limited to ground elevation changes, slope, slope direction, natural vegetation coverage, etc.

[0036] Collection of stratigraphic structure and groundwater data: Combined with topographic information, geological drilling work is carried out to obtain key geological parameters such as stratigraphic rock and soil properties, underground structural characteristics, and groundwater levels. The collected stratigraphic structure and groundwater data are analyzed to determine the main geological factors affecting the stability of the tunnel project, such as weak interlayers, fault fracture zones, and groundwater pressure.

[0037] Analysis of geological stability factors: Based on the above information, use professional geological software and engineering analysis methods to conduct a comprehensive analysis of geological stability factors and assess their impact on tunnel engineering. Identify potential geological risk areas, such as sections prone to collapse and water inrush risk areas.

[0038] Risk mitigation measures: Develop corresponding risk mitigation measures for the identified geological risk areas. For example, take reinforcement support measures in areas prone to landslides, and set up waterproof curtains or drainage systems in water-gushing risk areas. Incorporate these risk mitigation measures into the geological environment description to provide a basis for the subsequent design plan.

[0039] Through this series of steps, it can be ensured that the preliminary description of the geological environment is comprehensive and accurate, laying a solid foundation for subsequent tunnel design work.

[0040] S2: Based on the preliminary geological environment description Egeo and the knowledge base formed by the existing projects, create at least two tunnel design schemes Si with different strikes Pi and cross-sectional shapes Ci, analyze the structural stability, construction feasibility and economy of each tunnel design scheme, and evaluate its applicability: Si = g(Egeo, Pi, Ci), Ai = h(Si), g is the process of creating the design scheme, and h is the process of evaluating the applicability;

[0041] Specifically, the knowledge base contains experience data and related information from previous projects to support designers in creating at least two tunnel design plans with different orientations and cross-sectional shapes based on the preliminary geological environment description. The content of the knowledge base may include but is not limited to the following aspects:

[0042] Historical project data: Data on geology, design, construction, maintenance, etc. of similar projects completed in the past can provide reference and reference for the design of new projects.

[0046] Risk management information: including but not limited to geological hazard risk assessment, construction risk assessment, emergency plans, etc., to help designers identify potential risks and take preventive measures.

[0047] Cost estimation model: The cost estimation model based on historical project data helps designers to have a rough estimate of costs during the design phase, facilitating cost-benefit analysis.

[0048] Environmental impact assessment: The possible impact of tunnel construction on the surrounding environment and its mitigation measures to ensure that the design meets environmental protection requirements.

[0049] The knowledge base not only provides a wealth of information resources, but also can quickly apply this information to new design solutions in an intelligent way, thereby improving design efficiency and accuracy. In a specific implementation, the composition and application of the knowledge base play a key role in creating multiple design solutions, evaluating the applicability of solutions, selecting the best solution, and subsequent design optimization.

[0050] Furthermore, at least two tunnel design schemes with different orientations and cross-sectional shapes are created, including: determining possible options for tunnel orientation based on the preliminary geological environment description, and then designing a variety of cross-sectional shapes in combination with the tunnel orientation options to adapt to different geological conditions; simulating the stability of the tunnel structure under specific geological conditions based on the cross-sectional shape, and analyzing the simulation results to screen out design schemes with higher structural stability; conducting a cost-benefit analysis on the screened design schemes to determine their economic feasibility, and selecting at least two feasible tunnel design schemes based on the results of the cost-benefit analysis.

[0051] Determine possible options for the tunnel's orientation: Based on the topographic and geomorphic information in the preliminary geological environment description and the results of the geological stability factor analysis, taking into account factors such as terrain conditions, geological structure, and groundwater level, determine multiple possible options for the tunnel's orientation.

[0052] Design a variety of cross-sectional shapes to adapt to different geological conditions: Combine the tunnel orientation options, consider geological conditions, groundwater data and other factors, and design a variety of cross-sectional shapes to ensure that the tunnel structure can adapt to different geological conditions. The design of the cross-sectional shape should fully consider the feasibility of the construction technology, such as round, rectangular or other customized shapes.

[0053] Simulate the stability of tunnel structures under specific geological conditions: Use professional software tools to simulate each cross-sectional shape and analyze its structural stability under specific geological conditions. Evaluate the simulation results and select designs with higher structural stability.

[0054] Furthermore, each tunnel design scheme is analyzed for structural stability, construction feasibility and economy, including: analyzing the ground stress distribution of each selected tunnel design scheme to evaluate its structural stability; combining the analysis results to check whether the support structure in the design scheme meets the safety requirements, and based on the inspection results, evaluating the possible risk points in the tunnel excavation process; analyzing the identified risk points, determining the special treatment measures required in the construction phase, and based on the determined special treatment measures, comprehensively evaluating the actual construction feasibility of each design scheme.

[0055] Geostress distribution analysis: Geostress distribution analysis is performed on each selected tunnel design to evaluate its structural stability. Numerical simulation methods, such as finite element analysis, are used to predict the distribution of geostress under different geological conditions.

[0056] Check the support structure in the design: Combined with the results of the ground stress distribution analysis, check whether the support structure in the design meets the safety requirements. Evaluate the possible risk points during tunnel excavation, such as collapse risk, groundwater pressure, etc.

[0057] Determine the special treatment measures required during the construction phase: Analyze the identified risk points and determine the special treatment measures required during the construction phase. Special treatment measures may include but are not limited to reinforcement support, waterproof curtains, drainage systems, etc.

[0058] Comprehensive evaluation of construction feasibility: Based on the determined special treatment measures, comprehensively evaluate the actual construction feasibility of each design solution. Consider factors such as construction technical difficulty, construction cost, and construction period to ensure that the design solution is both safe and economical.

[0059] Through this series of steps, it can be ensured that the created tunnel design plan not only takes into account the characteristics of the geological environment, but also fully considers the actual needs and limitations in the construction process, providing strong support for the subsequent selection of the optimal plan.

[0110] S3: Combined with the evaluation result Ai, a scoring standard W suitable for the current tunnel design is formulated based on a multi-dimensional intelligent scoring system and scoring principles to score and rank each design scheme R. According to the ranking result, the design scheme with the highest score is selected as the preferred scheme Sopt, and a detailed structure diagram Dstr is generated based on the preferred scheme; R = sort(Ai·W)Sopt = argmax(R)Dstr = generate(Dgeo,Sopt), where generate is the sorting process:

[0111] R = sort (Ai·W) Sopt = argmax (R) Dstr = generate (Dgeo, Sopt), generate is the sorting process;

[0112] Furthermore, each design scheme is scored and ranked using a preset scoring standard, including: assigning a structural stability score to each design scheme based on the evaluation results; assigning a construction feasibility score to each design scheme in combination with the structural stability score; calculating an overall score for each design scheme based on the feasibility score and taking into account cost-effectiveness factors; ranking all design schemes according to the overall score, and then selecting the design scheme with the highest ranking as the preferred scheme.

[0117] Select the design scheme with the highest ranking as the preferred scheme: Select the design scheme with the highest score from the sorting results as the preferred scheme. The preferred scheme should be the one that performs best in terms of structural stability, construction feasibility, and economic benefits.

[0124] S4: Using the detailed structural diagram Dst, construct a three-dimensional digital model M3D of the preferred solution, and perform virtual construction simulation VS under various tunnel construction processes to identify corresponding potential construction difficulties Ni and risk points. By comparing and analyzing the construction difficulties and risk points corresponding to different processes, adjust the corresponding design details in the preferred solution to form an improved design solution Sopt′, M3D = build (Dstr) VS (M3D) → NiSopt′ = adjust (Sopt, Ni), where adjust is the process of constructing a three-dimensional model;

During the simulation, each construction stage will be advanced according to the set schedule. At this time, the observer needs to pay close attention to any problems that may arise during the simulation.

[0137] For example, when simulating the initial excavation stage, you may find the risk of rock collapse due to unstable geological conditions. Or when simulating the installation of the support structure, you may find that some heavy equipment cannot reach the designated location due to space limitations, thus affecting the construction progress. For another example, when simulating the installation of the drainage system, you may find that the originally designed drainage path does not match the actual geological structure, resulting in poor drainage and other problems.

[0138] The above observations need to be recorded in detail. The contents of the record should include the construction stage, specific location, expected problems, possible cause analysis, etc. Such records can help the design team understand the nature of potential difficulties and provide a basis for the next step of solution formulation.

[0139] After recording, the design team will analyze the root causes behind potential difficulties based on the recorded information and propose targeted solutions. For example, if the risk of rock collapse is caused by unstable geological conditions, it may be necessary to strengthen the support structure or change the excavation method; if it is a space limitation issue, it may be necessary to re-plan the equipment transportation route or choose smaller but equally efficient equipment; for the problem of poor drainage, it is necessary to re-evaluate the drainage path and may need to adjust the design to ensure smooth water flow.

[0140] Through such steps, potential construction difficulties can be effectively identified and resolved, ensuring that the final design is both safe, reliable and cost-effective. In addition, through virtual construction simulation, various problems that may be encountered in actual construction can be discovered and avoided in advance, thereby improving construction efficiency and quality.

[0141] Furthermore, corresponding design details in the preferred solution are adjusted to form an improved design solution, including: listing the design details that need to be adjusted based on the identified construction difficulties, and re-evaluating their impact on the overall design in combination with the listed design details; making corresponding adjustments to the preferred solution based on the evaluation results, and generating a detailed structural drawing again; and constructing a three-dimensional digital model of the improved design solution based on the updated detailed structural drawing.

[0142] List the design details that need to be adjusted: Based on the identified construction difficulties, list all the design details that need to be adjusted and analyze the impact of these details on the overall design.

[0143] Re-evaluate its impact on the overall design: Re-evaluate the listed design details to ensure that the changes will not affect the safety and functionality of the structure. Consider the cost changes and other impact factors that may be brought about by the changes.

[0144] Make corresponding adjustments to the preferred solution: According to the evaluation results, make necessary adjustments to the relevant design details in the preferred solution. Ensure that the adjusted design solution still meets all design requirements.

[0145] Regenerate detailed structural drawings: Regenerate detailed structural drawings based on the adjusted design plan. These drawings will reflect all design changes.

[0146] Build a 3D digital model of the improved design: Use the adjusted new detailed structural drawings to build a 3D digital model of the improved design and check the consistency between the model and the drawings again.

[0147] Through this series of steps, potential construction difficulties can be effectively identified and resolved, ensuring that the final design is both safe, reliable and cost-effective. In addition, through virtual construction simulation, various problems that may be encountered in actual construction can be discovered and avoided in advance, thereby improving construction efficiency and quality.

[0148] S5: Output the improved design scheme Sopt′ and its three-dimensional digital model M3′D for selection and implementation: M3′D=bui ld(Dstr′,Sopt′). Specifically: Summarize the improved design schemes and their three-dimensional digital models, review the summarized design schemes and three-dimensional digital models to ensure that all modifications have been correctly implemented, create a detailed implementation plan document based on the review results, submit the implementation plan document together with the three-dimensional digital model to the project team for review, and finally determine the design scheme and prepare for implementation based on the feedback from the project team.

[0149] On the other hand, this embodiment proposes a tunnel intelligent design system, such as Figure 2As shown, it includes: a preliminary analysis module of geological environment, a design scheme creation and evaluation module, a scheme optimization and structural diagram generation module, a three-dimensional digital model construction and optimization module and a model output module.

[0150] A design scheme creation and evaluation module is used to create at least two tunnel design schemes with different orientations and cross-sectional shapes based on the preliminary geological environment description and the knowledge base formed by the existing projects, and to analyze the structural stability, construction feasibility and economy of each tunnel design scheme to evaluate its applicability;

[0151] The scheme optimization and structure diagram generation module is used to combine the evaluation results, formulate a scoring standard suitable for the current tunnel design based on the multi-dimensional intelligent scoring system and scoring principles, and rank each design scheme. According to the ranking results, the design scheme with the highest score is selected as the preferred scheme, and a detailed structure diagram is generated based on the preferred scheme;

[0152] A three-dimensional digital model construction and optimization module is used to construct a three-dimensional digital model of the preferred solution using a detailed structural diagram, and to perform virtual construction simulations under various tunnel construction processes to identify corresponding potential construction difficulties and risk points, and to adjust corresponding design details in the preferred solution by comparing and analyzing the construction difficulties and risk points corresponding to different processes to form an improved design solution;

[0153] The model output module is used to output the improved design plan and its three-dimensional digital model for selection and implementation.

[0154] The above-mentioned geological environment preliminary analysis module, design scheme creation and evaluation module, scheme optimization and structural diagram generation module, three-dimensional digital model construction and optimization module and model output module are also used to execute other steps of the above-mentioned tunnel intelligent design method when executed, which will not be described one by one here.

[0155] The present invention can more accurately select the most appropriate tunnel design scheme through the analysis of geological data and automatic evaluation of multiple schemes. By identifying potential risk points through virtual construction simulation, measures can be taken in advance to avoid safety hazards in actual construction. The optimized design scheme can effectively reduce changes and rework during the construction process, thereby shortening the construction period and reducing construction costs.

[0156] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
