Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of on-site geological logging and engineering rock mass classification, and particularly relates to a method for dividing three-dimensional rock mass structure homogeneous regions and identifying geological strength indices. Background Art
[0002] Discontinuity surfaces (such as joints, fractures, bedding planes, faults, etc.) have an important influence on the mechanical and seepage characteristics of rock masses. These discontinuity surfaces are crucial for the safety and stability of surface and underground civil engineering construction projects. Due to the uneven distribution, occurrence, and size of discontinuity surfaces in rock masses, before carrying out rock mass engineering design, it is necessary to divide the rock mass according to the development of discontinuity surfaces to identify homogeneous regions with similar geological conditions and physical properties. Different rock masses can be divided into the same homogeneous region under the condition of similar geometric properties. Currently, various methods based on statistical data, spatial distribution, numerical simulation, and cluster analysis have been developed. The most mainstream method for dividing rock mass homogeneous regions is to perform cluster analysis on the occurrence of discontinuity surfaces, and it is considered that the regions where the discontinuity surfaces in the same cluster are located belong to the same homogeneous region.
[0003] Patent CN110147526B uses the overlapping window method and the contingency table chi-square test method to divide homogeneous regions for the absolute difference in density and occurrence indices, and then combines the qualitative rock mass structure homogeneous region division method based on the mechanical origin of structural planes to determine homogeneous regions through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods.
[0004] Patent CN111199109B uses a measuring window to collect the traces on the actual rock mass surface, draws a trace map, improves the box-counting dimension method, and proposes shape similarity to make up for the deficiency that the box-counting dimension cannot detect the occurrence of discontinuity surfaces.
[0005] Patent CN110135515B utilizes the texture characteristics of the geometric morphology of rock mass structural planes in the outcrop area. Based on obtaining the actual-size rock mass structural plane occurrence images by photogrammetry, 10 texture parameters of the gray-level co-occurrence matrix are used to describe the rock mass structure. The main control texture parameters are screened out through the sensitivity detection of the point pair distance, point pair direction angle, and pixel scale and the principal component analysis method, and homogeneous regions are divided with the main control texture parameters as the clustering index.
[0006] The above patents divide homogeneous regions based on the two-dimensional distribution statistics of rock mass structural planes in the outcrop area or the corresponding image texture analysis method, all considering only the two-dimensional angle, and there is a problem of large differences in homogeneous region division due to different selections of cross-section positions, and the results are very one-sided. Based on the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a three-dimensional model method based on measured data. Summary of the Invention

[0060] Embodiment 1
[0061] As Figure 1As shown, it aims to solve the problem that the traditional rock mass homogeneous zone division is based on the two-dimensional distribution statistics of the rock mass structural surface in the outcrop area or the corresponding image texture analysis method, and there is a large difference in the homogeneous zone division due to the different section position selection. This embodiment provides a three-dimensional rock mass structure homogeneous zone division and geological strength index identification method. The present invention advances the rock mass homogeneous zone division method from a two-dimensional perspective to a three-dimensional perspective based on measured data, reduces the error caused by a single section, realizes the visualization of geological conditions, and improves the accuracy of prediction and analysis.
[0062] The present invention discloses a method of using a three-dimensional laser scanner to obtain point cloud data of spatial information of a rock outcrop area. On the basis of converting the point cloud data into DEM data, the rock structure surface attitude, trace length, spacing and three-dimensional coordinates of the trace are measured and calculated, and the three-dimensional spatial distribution information of joints, fissures, rock stratum layers and faults in the rock outcrop area is deduced. A three-dimensional fracture network model of the rock structure is established, and the ISODATA clustering method is used to divide the rock structure homogeneous areas using shape factors and block volumes as clustering indicators. The correlation between the rock block size and the geological strength index in the RMR index is compared to construct the correlation between the characteristics of the rock structure homogeneous area and the geological strength index. The present invention advances the rock homogeneous area division method from a two-dimensional perspective to a three-dimensional perspective based on measured data, establishes a quantitative representation of the geological strength index, and provides a key node for the digital-numerical integrated analysis of rock engineering. The specific steps are as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0063] Obtaining point cloud data of the spatial information of the rock outcrop area specifically includes the following steps (1):
[0064] (1) Point cloud data acquisition: A 3D laser scanner is set up 5 m in front of the selected tunnel face. 3D laser scanning technology is used to obtain point cloud data describing the geometric morphology of the rock surface of the tunnel face.
[0065] The structural surface is identified based on the point cloud data to obtain the real rock mass structural surface, which specifically includes steps (2) to (4):
[0066] (2) Data denoising and correction: remove the noise in the point cloud data caused by the interference of the tunnel face engineering; repair the local voids in the point cloud data after denoising, and fill the point cloud data according to the trend distribution of the point cloud data in the neighborhood of the void; thinning: the uneven distribution density of the point cloud data causes local data redundancy, and the density of the over-dense data distribution area is thinned according to the trend distribution of the point cloud data; correction matching is based on 3 calibration points and compass measurement to correct the point cloud data to the geological coordinate system. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0067] (a) Import the point cloud data into cloudcompare, fill the point cloud holes and perform thinning;
[0068] (b) Import the thinned point cloud data into GIS software. During the import process, perform three-dimensional coordinate correction, where the horizontal coordinate is the Y coordinate, the vertical coordinate is the X coordinate, and the Z coordinate is the elevation coordinate.
[0069] (3) DEM data conversion. Based on the corrected point cloud data, perform triangulation to obtain the TIN data format of DEM. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0070] (a) Generate TIN data using the triangulation growth method. The steps are as follows:
[0071] Step 1: Select any point in the corrected point cloud data as the initial point;
[0072] Step 2: Detect the point closest to the initial point and connect them as a reference edge of a triangle. Determine the third endpoint according to the Delaunay triangulation discrimination rule;
[0073] Step 3: Connect the three endpoints in Step 2 to form two new reference edges;
[0074] Step 4: Iterate Step 2 and Step 3 until all reference edges are processed.
[0075] (b) Generate DEM data using the point-by-point interpolation method based on the TIN data. The steps of the point-by-point interpolation method are as follows:
[0076] Step 1: Determine the neighborhood size of the interpolation point;
[0077] Step 2: Select the sampling points included in the neighborhood;
[0078] Step 3: Select the interpolation method model;
[0079] Step 4: Solve the elevation of the interpolation point using the interpolation method model based on the sampling points in the neighborhood.
[0080] (4) Structural plane identification. Based on the three vertex coordinates of each triangular grid in the digital elevation model of the TIN data, calculate three indicators: the direction, angle, and elevation standard deviation of the normal vector of the triangular grid plane; use cluster analysis to perform ISODATA cluster analysis on the direction, angle, and elevation standard deviation of the normal vectors of all triangular grid units; use the moving window method to filter out smaller cluster groups, and the remaining cluster groups are potential rock mass structural planes. Calculate the elevation variation standard deviation of the vertex coordinates of the TIN data triangular grids composed of the potential rock mass structural planes to check whether the potential rock mass structural plane is a real rock mass structural plane. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0081] (a) Based on the digital elevation model, the slope, aspect, and elevation standard deviation data are statistically analyzed. The slope and aspect represent the inclination angle and direction of the grid plane normal vector respectively, and the elevation standard deviation represents the undulation degree of the surface.
[0082] The aspect α and slope β are expressed as the elevation change rates of the surface function H = f(x, y) in the east-west and north-south directions. The calculation formulas are as follows:
[0083]
[0084] The elevation standard deviation σ is used to reflect the undulation degree of the rock mass structural plane and is related to the elevation value. The formula is as follows:
[0085]
[0086] where z(i, j) is the elevation value, is the average elevation, D(z) is the elevation variance, and m and n are the number of grids in the calculation window.
[0087] (b) Using the slope, aspect, and elevation standard deviation as clustering indicators, ISODATA clustering is performed. The specific steps of ISODATA clustering are as follows:
[0088] Step 1: Select the initial parameters.
[0089] Step 2: Calculate the distance metric function for each cluster.
[0090] Step 3: Merge or split clusters according to the given requirements.
[0091] Step 4: Repeat the iteration. Calculate the new metrics and determine whether the results meet the clustering requirements
[0092] (c) The moving window method is used to group the clustering results spatially. According to the area of the on-site rock mass structural plane and the density of the point cloud data, a suitable number of grouped triangular grids is set as the threshold to filter out the clustering groups smaller than the threshold.
[0093] (d) Check whether the elevation variation standard deviation is between +1 and -1. If so, it is determined that the point cloud data formed by this cluster presents a planar feature; if not, this cluster is a general rock exposure surface. If so, it is determined that the potential rock mass structural plane is a real rock mass structural plane. The calculation formula for the elevation variation standard deviation DEV is as follows:
[0094]
[0095] The Topographic Position Index (TPI) of the rock mass structural plane represents the difference between the elevation of the center point z0 and the average elevation within a predetermined radius R around it The SD represents the standard deviation of the elevation.
[0096] Geological parameters of the structural plane are calculated based on the actual rock mass structural plane, specifically including step (5):
[0097] (5) Geological information calculation: Convert the TIN data corresponding to the rock mass structural plane into point cloud data. Based on the point cloud data of the actual rock mass structural plane, use the least squares method to calculate the attitude values of each structural plane through the point cloud coordinates, including dip direction, dip angle, two-dimensional trace length, and the position of the midpoint of the trace length. Cluster and group the dip angles and dip directions of the rock mass structural planes to obtain the dominant grouping of the rock mass structural planes, and classify them into joint fissures, rock layer bedding planes, and faults according to the dominant grouping. The specific steps are as follows:
[0098] (a) Based on the extracted actual structural plane TIN data, convert it into point cloud data, and use the least squares method to calculate the attitude and trace length of each structural plane point cloud set, and count the number of trace lines; the dip direction α i and dip angle β i of each structural plane are calculated as follows:
[0099]
[0100] where a i and b i are the direction vectors of the plane fitted by the least squares method.
[0101] (b) Based on the attitude data analysis, distinguish the fracture types of the structural plane species into three categories: joint fissures, rock layer bedding planes, and faults;
[0102] (c) Sort all types of structural planes according to their areas, and eliminate the structural planes with smaller areas through the area screening method, and retain the larger structural planes. To ensure that the structural planes have a certain representativeness, retain the top 20 structural planes in terms of area as the 20 major structural areas.
[0103] The three-dimensional spatial distribution information of the structural plane is deduced based on the geological parameters of the structural plane, specifically including step (6):
[0104] (6) Deduction of three-dimensional spatial information: Calculate the inter-group spacing of each dominant grouping through the geometric center coordinates and elevation values of the geometric center points of the joint planes, and combine the number of fractures per unit volume to calculate the three-dimensional fracture diameter and the position of the center point. The specific steps are as follows:
[0105] (a) Use GIS software to statistically analyze the geometric center coordinates of each structural plane in each structural plane grouping and the average elevation value of the DEM data corresponding to each structural plane. Based on the average elevation value, the geometric center coordinates of the structural plane, and the attitude data corresponding to each structural plane, calculate the structural plane spacing in ascending order of the horizontal coordinates. The formula for calculating the spacing is as follows:
[0106] The first major category, when a < b and the inclination is between 0 degrees and 180 degrees:
[0107] l = (b - a)cosα - csinα ctanα < b - a
[0108] l = csinα - (b - a)cosα ctanα > b - a
[0109] The second major category, when a < b and the inclination is between 180 degrees and 360 degrees:
[0110]
[0111] The third major category, when a > b and the inclination is between 0 degrees and 180 degrees:
[0112]
[0113] The fourth major category, when a > b and the inclination is between 180 degrees and 360 degrees:
[0114] l = (a - b)cosα - csinα ctanα < a - b
[0115] l = csinα - (a - b)cosα ctanα > a - b
[0116] Where l represents the spacing between joint sets; α represents the dip angle; a represents the average elevation of the left side of two adjacent joint planes; b represents the average elevation of the right side; c represents the absolute value of the difference in the Y coordinates of the center points of the two joint planes.
[0117] (b) Calculate the fracture surface density based on the number of traces in the tunnel face, infer its bulk density by combining the surface density and the occurrence of each structural plane, and finally infer the diameter of the nodular joints in space through the relationship between the bulk density, spacing, and diameter, and calculate the center coordinates of the joint fractures.
[0118] Tunnel face trace surface density The calculation formula is as follows:
[0119]
[0120] W is the side length of the square tunnel face, N (k) represents the total number of traces
[0121] The expectation of the cosine of the acute angle γ between the discontinuous normal vector and the sampling window plane is approximately calculated using the direction samples as follows:
[0122]
[0123] Where E (k)[cos(γ)] represents the expectation of cos(γ) formed by the k-th joint grouping. ) and respectively represent the dip direction and dip angle of the i-th sample of the k-th discontinuity set.
[0124] Combined with the trace center plane density and the expectation of the cosine of the acute angle γ, the bulk density formula can be obtained
[0125]
[0126] From this, the relationship between the fracture volume density and the fracture diameter can be obtained. Combining the relationship table of volume density, spacing and diameter, the average size of the diameter can be obtained. As shown in Table 1:
[0127] Table 1
[0128]
[0129] The calculation formula for the central coordinates of the joint fracture is as follows:
[0130]
[0131] Where: R is the radius size of the fracture, L is the length of the trace, (a, b, c) is the direction vector from the fracture center to the trace center, (X1, Y1, Z1) is the trace center coordinate, and (X2, Y2, Z2) is the fracture center coordinate.
[0132] Based on the three-dimensional spatial distribution information of the structural plane, a three-dimensional model of the rock mass structure is constructed, specifically including step (7):
[0133] (7) Three-dimensional modeling of the rock mass structure. According to the three-dimensional trace lengths and center point positions of joint fractures, rock layer surfaces and faults, a discrete fracture network model is established, the volume of the blocks cut by the three types of structural planes in the model is calculated, and the blocks are clustered according to the center of gravity points of the blocks to divide the three-dimensional structure of the rock mass. The intersection lines of 1 group of fractures and 3 groups of fractures are 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively, the intersection lines of 2 groups of fractures and 3 groups of fractures are 5, 6, 7, 8, and the intersection lines of 1 group of fractures and 2 groups of fractures are 9, 10, 11, 12. As Figure 2 shown, red is for 1 group, blue is for 2 group, and green is for 3 group. The specific steps are as follows:

The corresponding relationship between the degree of blockification and the surrounding rock classification is shown in Table 2.
