Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of structural safety monitoring technology, and in particular to an electromagnetic emission assessment method and device for stress evolution of concrete dam structures. Background Technology

[0002] The structural safety of concrete dams is crucial for the stable operation of hydropower stations. Under the influence of external forces or environmental factors, the stress inside the dam will change over time, leading to stress concentration and, under further stress, cracking or even dam collapse. Currently, stress evolution is mainly monitored using strain gauges, requiring the pre-installation of strain sensors inside the concrete dam structure; otherwise, it is difficult to monitor changes in internal stress.

[0003] In related technologies, for example, a method for the damage evolution of recycled concrete based on the cumulative number of acoustic emission events monitors damage to concrete structures using acoustic emission. However, this monitoring method requires close contact with the concrete structure surface, limiting the monitoring range. Another example is a method and device for stress-strain analysis of concrete dams based on multi-point combined calculations. This method analyzes the vertical changes of the concrete dam through a multi-point stress-strain system to determine the overall stress changes in the dam foundation. However, this method is difficult to assess and predict internal stress changes. Yet another example is a method for analyzing the movement and failure characteristics of overlying strata. This method establishes a monitoring and analysis method for stress evolution through simulation analysis. However, it mainly utilizes microseismic sensors, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive prediction of stress in concrete dams. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, the first objective of this application is to propose an electromagnetic emission assessment method for stress evolution in concrete dam structures, which can effectively monitor stress concentration areas in concrete dams and improve the safety and stability of concrete dam structures.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application proposes an electromagnetic emission assessment method for stress evolution in concrete dam structures, comprising:

[0009] Electromagnetic emission signals are acquired through an electromagnetic emission signal acquisition device, which is located at a measuring point in the stress monitoring area of ​​the concrete dam. The device is equipped with an electromagnetic induction antenna that measures three axes (x, y, and z) to continuously acquire electromagnetic emission signals in space. The three axes (x, y, and z) of the device remain consistent during signal acquisition.

[0010] For each measuring point, the electromagnetic emission signal collected by the device is passed through a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter respectively to obtain the triaxial electromagnetic emission signal S. Lx S Ly S Lz and S Hx S Hy S Hz The electromagnetic emission signals from the three axes are combined to obtain the low-frequency electromagnetic emission signal S at each measuring point. L and high-frequency electromagnetic emission signal S H ;

[0011] Based on the amplitude of the low-frequency electromagnetic emission signal at all measuring points, the location and intensity of stress concentration in the monitoring area of ​​the concrete dam are determined.

[0012] Based on the amplitude variation of the low-frequency electromagnetic emission signal at all measuring points, the rate of change of stress concentration in the monitoring area of ​​the concrete dam is determined.

[0013] Based on the amplitude of the high-frequency electromagnetic emission signal at all measuring points, the evolution direction of stress concentration in the monitoring area of ​​the concrete dam is determined.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of the present invention provides a computer device, including: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the above-mentioned electromagnetic emission assessment method for stress evolution of concrete dam structures.

[0015] To achieve the above objectives, a third aspect of the present invention provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that, when the instructions in the storage medium are executed by a processor, enables the execution of an electromagnetic emission assessment method for stress evolution of a concrete dam structure.

[0016] The electromagnetic emission assessment method and apparatus for stress evolution of concrete dam structures in this application collect electromagnetic emission signals around the concrete dam and perform low-frequency and high-frequency component analysis on the signals. By comparing the magnitude of the signal amplitude and the rate of change of amplitude at different measuring points, the method determines various indicators such as the concentration location, intensity, trend of change, and direction of stress in the concrete dam structure, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the concrete dam and having broad application prospects.
