Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of high-precision prediction of tunnel gushing water disasters, and in particular to a tunnel construction gushing water quantity calculation method based on machine learning. BACKGROUND

[0002] In various types of projects such as water conservancy, transportation, underground mineral exploitation, etc., tunnel excavation is involved and may cause sudden gushing water accidents. The occurrence probability of sudden gushing water is high, the water inrush quantity is large, the water pressure is high, and it is difficult to accurately judge the position and predict the scale and dynamic characteristics because the occurrence process is sudden. The sudden gushing water problem often affects the construction, causes the surrounding rock to lose stability, falls off and blocks the tunnel, and at the same time causes ground subsidence and ground settlement and pollution of the surrounding water environment, affects long-term operation and the ecological environment of the ground surface, and even causes more serious life safety and property loss.

[0003] There are many methods for calculating gushing water quantity, which can be summarized as follows: approximate method, theoretical method, stochastic mathematical method, nonlinear theoretical method, and numerical method. The approximate method is mostly derived from the summary of engineering practice, and has good prediction accuracy for gushing water problems under simple geological conditions. The theoretical method often needs to be corrected in combination with measured data, and the theoretical accuracy may not be sufficient in actual application. The stochastic mathematical method is sensitive to abnormal data, and the results may be significantly affected by data noise or modeling errors. The nonlinear theoretical method requires a large amount of detailed observation data, especially in time series and spatial distribution. The numerical method needs to be verified by field data or theoretical models, and it may be difficult to judge the credibility of the results when there is a lack of experience. Machine learning method is a new means of quantitative analysis and calculation of groundwater, and is one of the important means, which is particularly suitable for complex geological conditions.

[0004] At present, the method for obtaining hydrogeological parameters for accurate prediction of tunnel gushing water is relatively perfect, but how to use various parameters to complete simple, fast, convenient and effective gushing water quantity prediction is still a difficulty. Therefore, the present application is based on random forest (RF), BP (Back Propagation) neural network algorithm, etc. to build an accurate prediction model for tunnel gushing water, which fills the gap in the field of high-precision prediction of tunnel gushing water disasters. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem of calculating tunnel gushing water quantity by integrating machine learning models, and to provide a tunnel construction gushing water quantity calculation method based on machine learning, which has low time cost, high accuracy and is more convenient.

[0006] Technical scheme, in order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a tunnel construction gushing water quantity calculation method based on machine learning, which comprises the following specific steps:

[0007] 1) Collect the geological environment data of the surrounding area of the tunnel project, including drilling data, surface exploration data, underground rock stratum data, hydrological information, and import into the heterogeneous gushing disaster big data storage;

[0008] 2) Use the large island ocean formula and the modified Goodman formula to preliminarily determine the tunnel unit length gushing quantity and the maximum gushing quantity of the calculation area, and use the unit length gushing quantity to judge the actual occurrence grade of the gushing disaster, and judge the danger grade of the gushing disaster according to the maximum unit length gushing quantity;

[0009] 3) Import the multi-source exploration information of the study section into the heterogeneous data storage based on the Hadoop system, and according to the fitting results of the field data of the section and the past gushing accident area field data in the original database, fill in the data vacancy of the prediction section and eliminate abnormal data;

[0010] 4) Input the data in the database into the simulation software Groundwater Model System (GMS) for three-dimensional geological modeling, and based on the differences between modeling and field conditions, the filled data is supplemented and corrected, and the database is further fitted and updated;

[0011] 5) Use the negative topographic type, stratum lithology, unfavorable geological type, structure surface type and development degree, karst development degree, groundwater occurrence or gushing type, rainfall, construction disturbance degree, rock stratum inclination and rock stratum dip angle, permeability coefficient, groundwater level depth, horizontal distance and vertical distance between groundwater body and tunnel, tunnel length and tunnel depth, and groundwater head information as input information of the prediction model, and iterate and update the initial model, so that the fitting degree of the tunnel prediction unit length gushing quantity output by the model and the actual unit length gushing quantity of the past gushing disaster is more than 85%, and the neural network model is trained;

[0014] Further, in step 2), the tunnel unit length maximum gushing quantity is calculated as follows:

The formula assumes that the initial groundwater level is horizontal and unchanging, that the groundwater is in a steady state and satisfies radial flow, and that the medium is homogeneous and isotropic.

[0022] ​Further, in the step 3), the data storage library built should contain the information in step 1), and the existing information is screened and cleaned, and the data with the relative error of the fitting result exceeding 50% is removed. When the data storage library is used to supplement the geological information of the study area, it should be further ensured that the proportion of missing data in the total data should be less than 25% to avoid the occurrence of data distortion phenomenon.

[0023] Further, in the step 4), the fitting coefficient of the corrected GMS three-dimensional data model and the actual situation should be kept above 0.9 to ensure the accuracy of the filled data.

[0024] Further, in the step 5), the selected model is any one of SVM, AdaBoost and BP.
