Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of data processing and building safety monitoring, and particularly to an intelligent management platform and method for engineering construction based on digital delivery. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of the urbanization process, the number and structural complexity of buildings are gradually increasing, and the quality and safety problems of buildings are becoming increasingly prominent. Traditional building safety detection methods, such as manual inspections and manual measurements, have problems such as low inspection efficiency, poor accuracy, and high costs. Especially in the complex structures of buildings, many hidden defects and potential hazards cannot be detected in a timely manner through traditional methods, resulting in the long-term existence of safety hazards and even serious accidents.
[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN118735369B discloses an intelligent management platform and method for engineering construction based on digital delivery. This technical solution collects stress data by evenly arranging a plurality of stress sensors in a building. These sensors are arranged at different parts and different planes of the building to ensure comprehensive and accurate data; by analyzing the changes in stress data over time, the accelerating trend of stress changes is calculated, which helps to judge the stress changes of the building at different time points. Furthermore, based on the accelerating trend and stress data, the tendency of stress is determined to predict the structural safety of the building; based on the stress tendency, the structural safety of the building is detected in real time through an intelligent management platform. If the stress tendency exceeds a preset threshold, the platform will generate an alarm message to indicate that there may be potential structural safety hazards in the building.
[0004] The limitations of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0005] First, strong sensor dependence. This solution completely relies on the data collection of stress sensors, but in the actual engineering environment, the sensors may be affected by factors such as high temperature, humidity, and vibration, resulting in data distortion or sensor failure. This single data source challenges the reliability of the system.
[0006] Second, the data processing model is relatively simple. The current solution mainly relies on two indicators, namely the accelerating trend and stress tendency, for judgment. This linear analysis method may not be able to fully capture the complex non-linear characteristics of building structural safety.
[0007] Third, lack of consideration of environmental factors. The existing solution does not fully consider the influence of external environmental factors such as temperature changes, geological conditions, and surrounding construction on the building structure, which may lead to deviations in the judgment results. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The present invention provides an intelligent management platform and method for engineering construction based on digital delivery, which combines drone technology and laser scanning technology for real-time monitoring, evaluation, and management of building structural safety. The platform uses digital technology to achieve intelligent monitoring and timely warning of building structural health, and accurately detects structural defects and potential safety risks by comprehensively analyzing the three-dimensional data of the building. The purpose of the present invention is to improve the efficiency and accuracy of building quality inspection, while reducing the cost and difficulty of manual inspection, thereby enhancing the safety and management level of engineering construction.

[0027] Conduct a detailed analysis of the stress points and key structural parts of the building to determine whether there are problems such as cracks, deformations, and tilts.

[0070] 3. Implementation process
[0071] 3.1 Project preparation stage
[0072] Goal setting and equipment selection:
[0073] Determine the monitoring target: Select the building that needs to be evaluated for safety, and set the monitoring frequency (such as quarterly, semi-annually, etc.).
[0074] Equipment selection: According to the scale and complexity of the building, select appropriate drones and laser scanners. The drone needs to have sufficient flight capabilities and payload capacity, and the laser scanner should have high-precision data acquisition capabilities to meet the requirements of building structure monitoring.
[0075] Flight path and data acquisition plan:
[0076] Design the flight path: According to the floor plan of the building, design the flight route of the drone to ensure full coverage of the exterior of the building and areas that are difficult to reach (such as rooftops, high-rise buildings, etc.).
[0077] Set flight parameters: Determine parameters such as flight altitude and shooting angle to ensure that the laser scan can effectively capture all parts of the building, including hard-to-reach corners and details.
[0078] Avoid interference factors: Select a suitable weather condition with low wind speed for flight to avoid the impact of bad weather on the equipment.
[0079] 3.2 Data acquisition stage
[0080] As Figure 3 shown, start the drone and laser scan:
[0081] Under the set flight path, start the drone and begin laser scanning to collect the three-dimensional point cloud data of the building. The accuracy of each scanned point should reach the millimeter level to ensure the accuracy of the data.
[0082] Ensure real-time data transmission during flight to avoid data loss due to signal interruption.
[0083] Data synchronization and real-time monitoring:
[0084] The drone and laser scanner collect data synchronously and transmit the data to the control platform for monitoring and inspection in real time. The drone pilot and operator can adjust the flight route at any time to ensure the integrity of data collection.
[0085] 3.3 Data processing and 3D modeling stage
[0086] Data denoising and processing:
[0087] Perform denoising processing on the collected point cloud data to filter out redundant interference data and ensure the accuracy of the data. Apply point cloud processing software (such as Leica Cyclone) to correct the data and ensure the continuity and integrity of the scanned data.
[0088] Convert the processed point cloud data into standard formats such as *.las, *.pts, etc. for further analysis and modeling.
[0089] Three-dimensional building model construction:
[0090] Use building information modeling (BIM) software (such as Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, etc.) to integrate the point cloud data with the BIM model of the building to generate a high-precision three-dimensional digital model of the building.
[0091] Ensure that the accuracy of the three-dimensional model can meet the requirements of subsequent structural analysis and that the model can reflect the actual condition of the building.
[0092] 3.4 Structural analysis and problem detection stage
[0093] As Figure 4 shown, structural safety analysis:
[0094] In the integrated three-dimensional building model, apply structural analysis software (such as ANSYS, STAAD Pro, etc.) to conduct mechanical analysis on the building, calculate parameters such as its bearing capacity, stress distribution, deformation, etc., and detect possible structural problems.
[0095] Calculation of the accelerating trend of stress change
[0096] Assume that the stress values at the x-th and (x + 1)-th moments in the time series are S x and S x+1 , then the accelerating trend of stress change can be expressed as
[0097] ΔS x,x+1 =S x+1 -S x
[0098] The calculation formula for the accelerating trend is:
[0099]
[0100] If A x > 0, it means that the accelerating trend of stress change shows an upward trend, which may indicate that the building is suffering from uneven stress and there is a risk of structural imbalance.
[0101] Calculation of stress tendency
[0102] Set the stress value at the z-th moment as S z , the stress value at the v-th moment as S v , and consider the shortest straight-line distance d z,v (in meters) between the stress sensors, then the stress tendency T zThe calculation formula is as follows:
[0103]
[0104] If the stress tendency T z is greater than the set threshold value, it indicates that there may be a risk of structural inclination or imbalance in the building, and measures need to be taken for further inspection and treatment.
[0105] Calculation of stress position matching
[0106] Under the arrangement of multiple stress sensors, in order to judge the stress position matching between the target sensor and other sensors, the calculation formula is as follows:
[0107]
[0108] The higher the position matching, the closer the positions of the target sensor and other sensors are, and the more representative the detected stress change is, which can effectively reflect the structural change of the building.
[0109] Analyze the stress and deformation trends of the building to judge whether there are potential safety hazards caused by long-term stress, construction defects or external factors.
[0110] Crack and deformation detection:
[0111] Use point cloud data and 3D models to automatically detect whether there are problems such as cracks, depressions, and deformations on the surface of the building. For complex geometric shapes, the system can automatically identify anomalies and mark the problem areas.
[0112] For the identified cracks or deformations, the system calculates parameters such as their length, width, and depth to evaluate the possible impact on the safety of the building.
[0113] 3.5 Alarm and Visualization Display Phase
[0114] As Figure 5 shown, Alarm Generation and Feedback:
[0115] The system automatically generates structural safety alarm information according to the analysis results. If it is found that problems such as the stress, deformation, or cracks of the building exceed the set safety threshold, the system will trigger the alarm mechanism.
[0116] The alarm information can be sent to relevant management personnel in various forms (such as text messages, emails, system push, etc.) to ensure timely handling of problems.
[0117] Visualization Display and Report Generation:
[0118] The system generates a 3D visualization of the building, showing the overall structure and problem areas of the building. By clicking on each part, managers can view detailed structural information and problem descriptions.
[0119] Based on the data analysis results and the visualization, a structural health report is generated, which includes the health status of the building, the problems found, the analysis results, and the recommended repair measures.
[0120] Set the threshold T for determining the structural safety of the building threshold , when the stress tendency T z and the cumulative acceleration trend A cumulative both exceed the set threshold, it is determined that the building has a safety risk.
[0121]
[0122] If the structural safety determination result is Warning, further measures need to be taken to ensure the safety of the building.
[0123] 3.6 Regular update and maintenance phase
[0124] Regular scanning and monitoring:
[0125] As Figure 6 shown, according to the service life and maintenance requirements of the building, the system can be set to regularly scan the building and conduct health monitoring. After each scan, the system will automatically update the 3D model of the building and compare it with historical data to analyze the structural change trend.
[0126] Historical data management and comparison:
[0127] All the collected data and analysis results will be stored in the cloud platform to form a historical data archive of the building. Each new scan data will be compared with the historical data to evaluate whether the building has new structural problems or deformation trends.
[0128] This invention covers any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this invention. For the public to have a thorough understanding of this invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of this invention, and those skilled in the art can fully understand this invention without these detailed descriptions. Additionally, to avoid unnecessary confusion to the essence of this invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.
[0129] The above are only the preferred embodiments of this invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of this invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of this invention.
