TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of geotechnical engineering, and in particular to a slope material identification method based on in-situ electrical parameters. BACKGROUND
[0002] In-situ electrical parameter testing technology is widely used in geotechnical engineering investigation, but the resistivity data obtained by inversion is easily disturbed by measurement noise, inversion multi-solution and formation heterogeneity, resulting in fuzzy material division threshold. The traditional method relies on manual experience to set the threshold, which has strong subjectivity and insufficient resolution. The existing technology mainly discriminates lithology based on a single statistical parameter or a fixed threshold, which is difficult to effectively eliminate the influence of data errors on layering interpretation, especially in complex stratigraphic interfaces, which is prone to misjudgment. CN118914297A discloses a slope damage in-situ testing method, device and storage medium based on electrical measurement, which includes the following steps: obtaining the electrical parameter data and water content data of the slope obtained by electrical measurement at different periods; obtaining the orthographic image of the slope, constructing a digital terrain model, and obtaining the elevation data of the measurement line through gridding processing; based on the electrical parameter data and the elevation data of the measurement line, the resistivity data of the slope resistivity profile is obtained by smooth constrained least squares optimization; obtaining the relationship between soil damage variable, water content and soil resistivity; the slope resistivity profile at different periods is gridded, and the soil damage value is calculated based on the resistivity data and the water content data; the soil damage value is input into the digital terrain model to construct the damage variable profile, and the slope damage in-situ testing is realized. However, this method mainly focuses on the in-situ testing of slope damage, uses the smooth constrained least squares optimization method to analyze and process the electrical parameter data to obtain the resistivity data, and constructs the resistivity profile model based on this, which does not consider the complex noise influence in the obtained resistivity data, lacks the accurate division ability of the resistivity boundary of different materials, and cannot realize the high-precision identification of complex slope materials.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can eliminate noise interference in electrical measurement parameters under complex terrain conditions and accurately identify slope materials. SUMMARY

The embodiments are implemented on the premise of the technical solutions of the present application, and detailed implementation manners and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0038] The present embodiment provides a slope material identification method based on field electrical parameters, which realizes the noise reduction processing of the interference error, observation error, accidental error and system error contained in the field slope electrical measurement data, so as to determine the material group of different resistivity ranges. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:
[0039] S1, obtaining field slope electrical measurement data, and preliminarily determining the boundary of the rock-soil material based on the cluster analysis K-Means algorithm.
[0040] S11, obtaining resistivity profile data by high-density electrical method test.
[0041] S12, integrating the resistivity profile data to obtain resistivity sample data set X(x1, x2, ···, xn), n is the sample number, and based on the stratified probability statistical analysis of the overall slope, the number of material types is k (i.e. the number of grouping groups is k), and a corresponding number of centroid sets C(c1, c2, ···, ck) are randomly generated based on the number of material types k. n k ), determine the initial centroid of resistivity data, calculate the distance d of resistivity sample data and the clustering centroid of the jth group j , assign the resistivity sample data to the group with the minimum distance. Wherein the distance d of resistivity sample data and the clustering centroid of the jth group j satisfies the following equation:
[0042]
[0043] Wherein, d j is the distance (m) of resistivity sample data and clustering centroid j; x i is the ith resistivity sample data; c j is the clustering centroid of the jth group.
[0044] S13, recalculate the clustering centroid based on the assigned data, that is, update the clustering point to the average value of the resistivity sample data in the group, and the clustering centroid of the jth group satisfies the following equation:
[0045]
[0046] Wherein, c' j is the recalculated clustering centroid of the jth group; x j is the resistivity sample data of the jth group; n j is the number of resistivity sample data of the jth group.
[0047] Iterative calculation is performed until the objective function d reaches a minimum value or remains unchanged, and then the iteration is stopped, and the resistivity clustering result is obtained, wherein the objective function is expressed as:
[0048]
[0049] Wherein, d j is the distance (m) of resistivity sample data and clustering centroid j; d is the objective function, and min d represents minimizing the objective function.
[0050] S14, determine the resistivity threshold value between each group based on the clustering result (as shown in Figure 2 ), and preliminarily determine the material boundary based on the resistivity threshold value (as shown in Figure 3 ).
[0051] S2, based on the preliminarily determined rock-soil material boundary, determine the target depth of the slope material interface through stratified probability statistical analysis.
[0052] Specifically, according to the preliminarily determined rock-soil material boundary, the stratification thickness δh is determined according to the electrode spacing in the rock-soil material boundary, and for the standard symmetric Wenner device (AMNB), there is an empirical formula between the detection depth h and the electrode spacing a as follows:
[0053]
[0054] Beyond the depth of detection, the current density and electric field intensity decay significantly, the contribution from deeper formations becomes weak, thus the depth of detection is taken as the layer thickness. The rock-soil material is evenly divided into layers with the same thickness of δh, and the resistivity at different depths is statistically stratified, as shown in FIG. 1. Figure 4
[0055] The resistivity logarithm value is calculated, and the frequency of the resistivity logarithm value in each interval is statistically calculated at a preset interval of 0.1, the frequency is the ratio of the number of resistivity in the interval to the total number, the probability density of the resistivity logarithm value is obtained, and the probability density multi-peak value regression fitting is performed in each layer, as shown in FIG. 2, the mathematical expectation of the probability density peak value and the resistivity logarithm value of each layer is obtained, so as to calculate the standard deviation of the resistivity of each layer, and the standard deviation formula is as follows: Figure 5
[0056]
[0057] Where N is the total number of data points in the population, x i is the ith data, and μ is the population mean. Based on the resistivity standard deviation, the target depth of the material interface is determined. When the target is located in the high-resistance medium one and the high-resistance medium three (points A and E), the average property values are ρ1 and ρ3 respectively, and the standard deviations are σ1 and σ3; when the target is located in the low-resistance medium two (point C), the average property value is ρ2, and the standard deviation is σ2, wherein ρ1>ρ2; and when the target is located at the interface of high and low resistance media (points B and D), the standard deviation appears a minimum value, and the target depth of the material interface is determined based on the layer position corresponding to the minimum standard deviation, as shown in FIG. 3. Figure 6
[0058] S3, fitting the electrical measurement parameters at the target depth of the material interface of the slope, determining the segmentation threshold of the target slope material based on the peak value of the fitted curve, and dividing the slope material based on the segmentation threshold.
[0059] Specifically, the resistivity data at the target depth is fitted into two or more normal distribution functions, and the functions have two or more separate peak values. In one embodiment, the value corresponding to the valley between the peaks of the normal distribution function is taken as the material segmentation threshold, as shown in FIG. 4, and the resistivity is considered as three different rock-soil materials in the ranges of 0<ρ t1 , ρ t1 t2 , and greater than ρ t2 . Figure 7
[0060] Based on the above results of the slope material classification, a slope material distribution profile is made, as shown in Figure 8
