Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater structure spatial stability diagnosis, and particularly to a method for diagnosing the spatial stability of underwater structures based on three-dimensional penetration scanning. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the stability diagnosis of underwater structures mainly relies on the one-way profile scanning method. This method uses a shallow seismic profiler to obtain transverse or longitudinal profile data of the strata around the underwater structure along the survey line to evaluate the burial depth, sedimentary environment, and surrounding geological features. However, this technology has obvious deficiencies. First, one-way scanning can only provide local profile information and cannot comprehensively reflect the three-dimensional state of the underwater structure. Especially in sea areas with large undulations in the strata and complex sedimentary environments, it is easy to lead to inaccurate stability assessments. Second, key factors such as scouring, compaction, and displacement of sediments around the underwater structure are difficult to accurately identify through one-way scanning, which may lead to misjudgments of stability. In addition, the existing methods rely on manual data interpretation, are easily affected by subjective factors, lack intelligent analysis means, and affect the diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Where, is the inclination angle between the transverse axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane, is the length of the measurement section of the underwater structure.
[0012] Further, in step S14, take 2 longitudinal points along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure according to a preset rule , set as the initial point, and obtain the longitudinal elevation deviation through the buried depth of the underwater structure, and the expression is:
[0013] Where, The value obtained by taking points along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure, is obtained by fusing real-time water level monitoring data and DGPS elevation, which is the longitudinal elevation deviation.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S14, based on the longitudinal elevation deviation, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane is calculated, and the expression is:
[0015] where, is the angle between the longitudinal axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane, is the length of the measured section of the underwater structure.

In addition, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, rather than all the structures.
[0022] Referring to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a method for diagnosing the spatial stability of underwater structures based on three-dimensional penetration scanning.

[0027] S16. Compare the included angle at point A with a preset threshold to judge the stability of the underwater structure.
[0028] In this embodiment, taking the submarine buried pipeline as an example, based on the two-way travel time of sound waves and the medium sound speed formula, the formation depth of the target area (subaqueous structure) is measured. Based on the formation depth of the target area (subaqueous structure), the lateral settlement difference and the longitudinal elevation deviation of the target area are calculated respectively. Based on the lateral settlement difference and the longitudinal elevation deviation, the inclination angle between the transverse axis and the horizontal plane and the included angle between the longitudinal axis and the horizontal plane of the target area are calculated respectively. By understanding the included angles between the transverse and longitudinal axes and the horizontal plane, the orientation of the target area in the three-dimensional space is clarified, so as to determine the direction of the transverse and longitudinal tangents. By determining the direction of the transverse and longitudinal tangents, the intersection point of the transverse and longitudinal tangents is obtained.

The included angle of point A is compared with the preset threshold, so as to diagnose the stability of the target area (subaqueous structure), for example, judging the stability of the submarine pipeline by the above method.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, in step S12, generating a three-dimensional structure model based on the transverse profile point cloud data and the longitudinal profile point cloud data specifically includes: After preprocessing the collected transverse profile point cloud data and longitudinal profile point cloud data, align them to the same coordinate system for merging to generate a point cloud data set.
[0030] Based on the point cloud data set, a three-dimensional structure model is constructed through three-dimensional reconstruction technology.
[0031] In this embodiment, by merging the point cloud data in different directions, the geometric features of the underwater structure are captured more comprehensively, reducing data loss and errors. The merged point cloud data set contains more detailed information, providing a data basis for constructing a more refined and realistic three-dimensional model later.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment, in step S12, based on the three-dimensional structure model and the two-way travel time of sound waves and the medium sound speed formula, the expression for obtaining the burial depth of the underwater structure is:
[0033] Wherein, is the burial depth of the underwater structure (m, starting from the seabed surface), is the sound speed of the sediment layer (m / s), which needs to be determined by on-site calibration or empirical value (such as about 1500 m / s for the silt layer and 1700 - 1900 m / s for the sand layer), is the round-trip time of the sound wave from transmission to reception (s). Note: The denominator 2 corrects the sound wave propagation path (round-trip distance).
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, in step S13, based on the burial depth of the underwater structure, the lateral settlement difference is obtained, and its expression is:
[0035] Among them, is the height of the underwater structure, is the DGPS elevation correction value, is the lateral settlement difference, The height on the left side of the underwater structure, is the height on the right side of the underwater structure.
[0036] In this embodiment, based on the lateral settlement difference formula, the core parameter values of the uneven settlement of the foundation on both sides of the cross-section of the underwater structure are obtained. Zleft and Zright are the heights on the left and right sides of the pipeline respectively. Combining with the acoustic two-way travel time formula, the lateral settlement difference of the underwater structure is calculated. The DGPS elevation correction value is obtained through the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) technology. In terms of measuring elevation, the DGPS method is a method of correcting and improving the GPS altimeter by using differential technology. This method is corrected by using the difference between the measured values of the reference station with known coordinates and the station to be measured. The corrected data can improve the accuracy and precision of the measurement. The Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is based on GPS and uses differential technology to enable users to obtain higher precision from the GPS system, with the advantages of real-time continuity, high precision, etc. The DGPS technology sets a GPS receiver on the reference station with known precise position, calculates the distance correction number from the underwater structure to the satellite, and sends this correction amount to the user in real time or afterwards.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment, in step S13, based on the lateral settlement difference, the inclination angle between the transverse axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane is calculated, and the expression is:
[0038] Among them, is the inclination angle between the transverse axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane, is the length of the measured section of the underwater structure.
[0039] In this embodiment, based on the inclination angle θ formula, the included angle between the transverse axis of the pipeline and the horizontal plane is obtained.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment, in step S14, 2 longitudinal points are taken along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure based on a preset rule , and let be the initial point. The longitudinal elevation deviation is obtained through the buried depth of the underwater structure, and the expression is:
[0041] Among them, is the value of the point taken along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure, It is obtained by fusing real-time water level monitoring data and DGPS elevation, which is the longitudinal elevation deviation.
[0042] In this embodiment, based on the longitudinal elevation deviation calculation formula , two longitudinal points are taken along the longitudinal direction of the top plate of the underwater structure , and is set as the initial point, and the longitudinal elevation deviation of the underwater structure is calculated by combining with the acoustic two-way travel time formula. The real-time water level monitoring data is the water level data measured and recorded in real time by devices such as tide gauges and water level gauges, reflecting the actual water level height of the water body at different time points. The DGPS elevation data is used to provide the accurate elevation information of the measurement point, that is, the vertical distance of the measurement point relative to a certain reference datum. Since the tide correction value needs to consider the actual water level height of the measurement point and the elevation of the measurement point relative to the reference datum, the real-time water level monitoring data and the DGPS elevation data are combined to obtain the tide correction value.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, in step S14, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane is calculated based on the longitudinal elevation deviation, and the expression is:
[0044] where, is the angle between the longitudinal axis of the underwater structure and the horizontal plane, is the length of the measured section of the underwater structure.
[0045] In this embodiment, based on the inclination angle θ formula, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the pipeline and the horizontal plane is obtained.
[0046] As a preferred embodiment, in step S15, the angle at point A is obtained from the dot product formula, and the expression is:
[0047] where, is the angle at the intersection point A of the horizontal and longitudinal tangents; is the vector from the intersection point A of the horizontal and longitudinal tangents to any point B on the horizontal tangent, is the vector from the intersection point A of the horizontal and longitudinal tangents to any point C on the longitudinal tangent.
[0048] In this embodiment, by calculating the angle A between the horizontal tangent and the longitudinal tangent, the inclination degree of the whole or local section of the underwater structure is judged.
[0049] As a preferred embodiment, in step S16, the angle at point A is compared with a preset threshold. If it is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the inclination degree of the underwater structure has no influence on the stability. If it is greater than the preset threshold, the inclination degree of the underwater structure will have an impact on the stability.
[0050] In this embodiment, according to the standards and safety specifications of ocean engineering, we set the preset threshold of the inclination angle of the underwater structure to 3 degrees. If the inclination angle of the underwater structure is less than or equal to 3 degrees, it is considered that its inclination degree has no impact on stability.
[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
