Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pore pressure measurement and engineering service state warning in seasonal freeze-thaw environments, and relates to a geotechnical pore pressure sensing system in seasonal freeze-thaw environments, and more particularly to a distributed geotechnical pore pressure sensing and subgrade service state early warning system in seasonal freeze-thaw environments. Background Art
[0002] Geotechnical bodies play an important role in engineering construction, including infrastructure construction, underground engineering, tunnel engineering, etc. The physical and mechanical properties of geotechnical bodies, such as pore water pressure, aquifer distribution, soil strength, etc., directly affect the stability and safety of engineering. Under different environmental conditions, the behavior of geotechnical bodies may change significantly, especially in extreme environmental conditions such as cold regions or water-rich environments. In a low-temperature environment, the moisture in the geotechnical body may freeze, resulting in changes in the mechanical properties of the soil. The freezing and thawing processes will affect the strength, compressibility of the soil, and the change of pore water pressure. In a water-rich environment, the pore water pressure of the geotechnical body has a significant impact on the stability of the soil mass. Excessive moisture may cause liquefaction of the soil mass, reduction of strength, or rheological phenomena, affecting the stability of the project. During the construction and operation of highways, real-time monitoring of the pore water pressure (pore pressure) of geotechnical bodies is crucial for evaluating the stability of the soil mass. The change of pore pressure can reflect the internal stress distribution and hydrogeological conditions of the geotechnical body, thus predicting potential engineering risks. The current technical means mainly include: (1) Traditional sensors: Pore pressure sensors are installed on-site to measure the pore water pressure. However, these sensors usually can only provide local information and cannot effectively obtain the distributed data of geotechnical bodies. (2) Limited data acquisition: Existing monitoring systems often have difficulty covering the entire changing area of geotechnical bodies. Especially in complex cold and water-rich environments, traditional monitoring technologies may have problems such as incomplete data coverage or delayed feedback. (3) Limitations of the warning system: Existing engineering service state warning systems mostly rely on discrete measuring point data and it is difficult to achieve a comprehensive and timely early warning of the entire engineering state. In order to overcome the deficiencies of the existing technology, there is an urgent need for a geotechnical monitoring system that can achieve distributed sensing in seasonal freeze-thaw environments. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To improve the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a system for distributed perception of pore pressure in geotechnical bodies in seasonal freeze-thaw environments and early prediction of the service state of roadbeds. Based on distributed fiber optic sensors using fiber Bragg gratings, this system can achieve distributed perception of pore pressure in geotechnical bodies in severe cold and water-rich environments. Combined with data transmission and processing modules, it can perform early prediction during the service state of roadbeds. The fiber optic sensors used in the present invention can be installed in harsh environments, and the system can easily perform data recording and transmission automatically. The present invention can measure pore pressure along various regions of the geotechnical body, achieving comprehensive data collection for the entire geotechnical body. Through this distributed measurement method, detailed pore pressure distribution data can be obtained to accurately evaluate the stability and safety of the geotechnical body. The present invention integrates an efficient soil pore pressure detection module, a data processing module, and an early warning module, supports real-time detection of soil pore pressure, can analyze abnormal data and give early warnings, helping engineering managers to identify and respond to potential risks in a timely manner and improving the safety of the project.
