Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of landslide disaster early warning and machine learning, specifically to a method for evaluating the susceptibility of landslides in reservoir areas that takes into account reservoir water level changes. Background Technology

[0002] Hydropower, as an important clean energy source, plays a vital role in achieving energy conservation, emission reduction, and promoting low-carbon environmental protection. Southwest my country, located at the intersection of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the Sichuan Basin, is rich in hydropower resources. Its undulating terrain, concentrated rainfall, and dense river network make it an ideal region for constructing water conservancy and hydropower projects.

[0003] However, during the operation of a hydropower station, the periodic fluctuations in the reservoir's water level can trigger a series of geological problems. As the impoundment process progresses, the weight of the reservoir slopes increases, reducing the shear strength of the soil and rock, making them highly susceptible to landslides. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the landslide poses a serious threat to the structural safety of water conservancy projects and the safety of life and property of surrounding residents.

[0004] Landslide susceptibility assessment is a technical means used to predict the probability of landslides occurring in a specific area. It can effectively delineate high-risk and low-risk areas, providing technical support for landslide prevention and mitigation. Most traditional landslide susceptibility assessment methods are based on static geological parameters, which are difficult to respond to the dynamic changes in landslide risk caused by water level changes during reservoir operation.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an evaluation method that can dynamically reflect the impact of reservoir water level changes on landslide risk, so as to improve the real-time and scientific nature of water conservancy project risk management. Summary of the Invention

Probability Calculation and Loss Function Definition: Construct a probability calculation formula for landslide occurrence, measure the error between the model's predicted value and the actual value through the loss function, and construct a cost function to evaluate the overall performance of the model. S5. Parameter Optimization: The gradient descent algorithm is used to iteratively optimize the model parameters and improve the model accuracy. S6.

Results Output: The optimized model is used to accurately delineate high-risk landslide areas and complete the landslide susceptibility assessment.

[0015] This invention provides a method for evaluating the landslide susceptibility of reservoir areas considering reservoir water level changes. This invention primarily considers the impact of reservoir water level changes on the evaluation of landslide susceptibility in reservoir areas, and proposes a dynamic landslide susceptibility evaluation method that considers reservoir water level changes. This method can mainly solve the following problems: Traditional landslide susceptibility evaluation techniques are mainly geared towards administrative divisions, while this invention mainly evaluates the landslide susceptibility of reservoir areas by introducing "distance from the river" as an important influencing factor in the evaluation of landslide susceptibility in reservoir areas. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Figure 1 This is a diagram of the existing reservoir and its bank slope structure. Figure 2 This is a landslide susceptibility assessment map of the reservoir area before the first stage of water impoundment; Figure 3 This is a landslide susceptibility assessment map of the reservoir area after the second phase of water impoundment; Figure 4 This is a diagram of the new unstable slope that appears after the second stage of water impoundment. Detailed Implementation

[0017] Example 1 A method for assessing the susceptibility of reservoir landslides considering reservoir water level changes is proposed. This invention considers the impact of reservoir water level changes on the susceptibility of reservoir landslides. Based on the logistic regression algorithm of machine learning, "distance from the river" is taken as an important influencing factor. An amplification factor is introduced to consider the amplification effect of the "distance from the river" factor after the reservoir water level rises, resulting in a dynamic susceptibility assessment method for reservoir landslides considering reservoir water level changes. This enables real-time dynamic updating of the susceptibility assessment results for hydropower station reservoir landslides.

[0018] Collection of datasets on unstable slopes in reservoir areas: A dataset of historical unstable slopes in the reservoir area was obtained by combining multiple methods, including InSAR deformation interpretation, satellite remote sensing, and field surveys. 80% of the unstable slope dataset was selected as the training set, and 20% as the test set for training and accuracy verification of a machine learning model using a logistic regression algorithm.

[0019] Collection of main influencing factors of landslides in reservoir area: This method considers 11 main influencing factors of reservoir area landslides, including reservoir elevation, reservoir slope angle distribution, reservoir slope aspect distribution, reservoir topographic plan curvature, reservoir topographic profile curvature, reservoir lithology distribution, reservoir vegetation cover, distance from river, distance from road, distance from fault, and rainfall distribution. Among these, "distance from river" is a factor directly related to reservoir water level changes. Data collection for these influencing factors included database platforms from NASA and the National Tibetan Plateau Scientific Data Center, as well as meteorological and rainfall stations in the reservoir area. The natural discontinuity method was used to classify the collected influencing factors.

[0020] Machine learning algorithm model: Using the historical unstable slope data and 11 influencing factors collected above as input conditions, the landslide susceptibility of the reservoir area is evaluated based on the logistic regression algorithm of machine learning, and high-risk areas for landslide disasters are delineated. The calculation model is shown in Equations (1) and (2): (1); (2); In the above formula, x1~x 11 These represent dummy variables, b and w, representing various factors influencing landslides. i Let g(z=1) represent the coefficients of the model, e be the natural logarithm, h(x) be the decision value, and x be the eigenvalue.

[0021] Considering the amplification effect of "distance from the river" after the reservoir water level rises, an adjustment coefficient μ is introduced. The formula for calculating the adjustment coefficient is shown in equation (3): (3); In the formula, h1(m) represents the initial reservoir water level, h2(m) represents the reservoir water level after the water level change, and h0 represents the elevation of the bottom of the reservoir. Assuming the entire river channel is of uniform width, and factor x1 represents the distance of the influencing factor from the river, the expression for z after the reservoir water level changes is as follows: (4); In equation (4), μ adjusts the coefficient w1 to obtain a new coefficient w1.

[0022] The probability solution, loss function, gradient descent and model parameter update process are shown in equations (4) to (19).

[0023] (5); Where p is the probability of a random event occurring, and the range of p is [0, 1], h(x) is the decision value, and x is the eigenvalue; (6); (7); (8); (9); in Indicates predicted value , Represents the actual value. Since the loss function measures the error of a single-sample prediction, to measure the algorithm's performance on all training samples, a cost function needs to be defined. The cost function is the sum of the loss functions for m samples, divided by m. (10); The specific solution process is as follows, and the likelihood function is: (11); (12); The cost function is: (13).

[0024] The solution process of gradient descent, where Learning rate: (14); (15); (16); ; Therefore, we can conclude that: (17); The parameter update formula for gradient descent is as follows: (18).

[0025] After solving for the gradient descent parameters, a regularization function is added to prevent overfitting.

[0026] The objective function after adding the regularization function is as follows: (19); in For regularization terms, when As the value of increases, the model variance decreases.

[0027] Example 2 like Figures 2-4 As shown in Example 1, a reservoir area is analyzed as an implementation case. The first phase of water impoundment in the reservoir area was from December 3rd to December 5th, 2020, during which the water level rose from 2608 m to 2681 m. The second phase of water impoundment was from May 15th to August 24th, 2021, during which the water level rose from 2681 m to 2790 m. Using this reservoir area as a research case, the proposed technology was employed to collect historical unstable slope datasets and 11 influencing factors from the Lianghekou Reservoir area. Machine learning calculations were performed to obtain the landslide susceptibility assessment results of the reservoir area before the first phase of water impoundment and after the second phase of water impoundment. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Table 1, the model accuracy verification results indicate that the landslide susceptibility level significantly increases with the rise in reservoir water level. After the second phase of water impoundment, 18 new unstable slopes were created, such as... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 The results could only predict 16 unstable slopes; predictions for the 17th and 18th unstable slopes failed. The results were adjusted using different coefficients. Figure 3 The results showed that the 17th and 18th unstable slopes after the second stage of water impoundment could be successfully predicted.

[0028] Table 1: Model Accuracy Evaluation

[0029] It can be understood that this method uses "distance from the river" as the core evaluation indicator and dynamically adjusts its weight by adjusting the coefficient to reflect the amplification effect of rising reservoir water level on landslide risk, thereby achieving dynamic assessment of landslide susceptibility and thus realizing the purpose of dynamic landslide susceptibility assessment in the reservoir area.

[0030] An adjustment coefficient (Formula 3) was proposed to quantitatively describe the impact of reservoir water level changes on landslide susceptibility in the reservoir area. Distance from the river is considered an important influencing factor in the assessment of landslide susceptibility in the reservoir area. After the reservoir is filled and the water level changes, the importance of the "distance from the river" factor is adjusted in real time by adjusting the coefficients. The updating of the model coefficients relies on the iterative optimization of the gradient descent algorithm and also combines the adjustment coefficients to dynamically correct specific influencing factors (such as distance from the river) (Formulas 4 to 19). This achieves the goal of dynamic assessment of landslide susceptibility in the reservoir area, realizes real-time updates of future landslide susceptibility assessment results, and avoids the workload of secondary surveys and secondary collection of datasets.
