Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a seismic liquefaction assessment method based on conditional random field simulation, belonging to the fields of geological engineering and earthquake engineering technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of geological engineering and earthquake engineering, accurately assessing the risk of soil liquefaction induced by earthquakes is crucial for ensuring the safety of infrastructure in deep, heterogeneous sites. Traditional geological parameter simulation methods are usually based on assumptions such as homogeneity, isotropy, continuity, linear elasticity, and small strain. However, geological materials in actual sites typically exhibit significant spatial variability, which may stem from a variety of factors, including sedimentary conditions, loading history, the presence of cracks and bedding, hydrogeological conditions, and human activities.
[0003] To more realistically reflect the spatial variability of geological parameters, researchers have developed random field simulation methods. Unconditional random field simulation does not consider the constraints of field borehole data and generates the spatial distribution of geological parameters based solely on assumed correlation distances and statistical parameters. Conditional random field simulation can use field borehole data to constrain simulation results, thereby improving simulation accuracy. However, existing conditional random field simulation methods have limitations such as low computational efficiency and the inability to synchronously update correlation distances and parameter values.
[0004] In seismic liquefaction assessment, traditional liquefaction discrimination methods are mainly based on one-dimensional or isotropic random field models. These models cannot fully describe the significant variability of geological parameters in the depth and horizontal directions, resulting in high uncertainty in the liquefaction assessment results. In addition, existing methods often fail to fully utilize the spatial constraint information of borehole data, affecting the accuracy of liquefaction assessment. Summary of the Invention

[0130] Calculate the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR), then proceed to step D4; where a max The peak horizontal ground acceleration is represented by g at a location within the target area, where g represents gravitational acceleration and σ represents the acceleration due to gravity. v This indicates the total overburden stress at a preset depth in the soil layer at a location within the target area.

Calculate the safety factor F S And define when F S ≤1 indicates soil liquefaction, and is calculated according to the formula: Calculate the soil liquefaction probability P L This means obtaining the soil liquefaction probability corresponding to each location in the target area, forming a liquefaction probability distribution map of the target area, which is used to assess the liquefaction risk of the target area; where N represents the number of times a single location in the target area is counted, and count() represents the counting function.
[0132] The above-mentioned seismic liquefaction assessment method based on conditional random field simulation is applied in practice, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a random field model was used to simulate the strata and SPT-N values at a deep, heterogeneous site along the Yangtze River. Each borehole had an initial diameter of 130 mm, a final diameter of 110 mm, and a depth of 30 m.
[0133] The initial stage of this invention involves determining the grid size, such as Figure 3As shown, a total of 27 boreholes (labeled J1 to J27) are located on the profile to facilitate two-dimensional simulation. The selection of boreholes depends on the scope of the engineering exploration. To optimize the utilization of the borehole profile, especially those located at the boundaries, lateral extensions of 160 meters and 100 meters were added to the outermost boreholes. Therefore, the resulting simulated site includes a lateral span of 5 kilometers and a depth of 30 meters. The stratigraphic information obtained from the boreholes is crucial for determining the stratigraphy of the study site, a step essential for the simulation of SPT-N random fields. Therefore, all 27 boreholes are projected onto a common profile to facilitate the simulation of stratigraphic arrangement using an embedded Markov chain model. Figure 4 This shows that the random stratigraphic distribution generated by the model represents the actual subsurface conditions.
[0134] Next, the design method described in this patent application will be followed, wherein when performing step C3 in step C, a conditional random field N will be constructed. cn ,like Figure 5 The relationship between the SPT-N stochastic simulation results in the study area and the number of simulations N is shown to verify the convergence of the results and ensure that the coefficient of variation of the standard deviation is less than 1%, which is a convergence conditional random field.
[0135] like Figure 6 The results of simulated SPT-N random fields under unconstrained conditions and conditional SPT-N random field simulations of the same borehole are shown respectively. Figure 7 The spatial distribution characteristics of the standard deviations of the SPT-N value predictions obtained using the traditional Hoffman Conditional Random Field (CRF) method and the improved simulation algorithm proposed in this study are shown. Comparative analysis shows that, compared with the traditional method, the method designed in this invention significantly reduces the prediction uncertainty of the simulation results by optimizing the spatial autocorrelation structure modeling mechanism.
[0136] Then continue with step D and subsequent steps until the liquefaction probability distribution map corresponding to the target area is obtained.
[0137] Continuing with the above embodiments, as follows: Figure 8 The results of SPT-N (Solution-Proof-of-Conditional Random Field) simulations for liquefaction are shown, such as... Figure 9 The accuracy of liquefaction assessments for 10 retained borehole locations is shown. Specifically, all accuracies are above 85%, with most predictions exceeding 95%. These data demonstrate that the reliability information obtained by the design method of this invention can be valuable for assessing the safety of real-world meshes.
[0138] This invention designs a seismic liquefaction assessment method based on conditional random field simulation. First, it obtains a log-normal random field with SPT-N values corresponding to the target area. Then, it resamples using the Bootstrap method and combines it with the likelihood function to construct a weighted prior probability density function for the target area. Next, based on Bayesian theory and the Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling method, it determines the optimal horizontal correlation distance through the posterior probability density distribution, constructing a covariance matrix to generate the conditional random field. This is followed by multiple simulations to converge the conditional random field. Finally, for the target area, it constructs a liquefaction probability distribution map corresponding to the target area by calculating the cyclic stress ratio and cyclic resistance ratio. This invention, by combining Bootstrap and Bayesian theory, infers and improves the conditional random field simulation method, significantly enhancing the accuracy and reliability of geological parameter simulation and providing reliable data support for seismic liquefaction assessment in deep, heterogeneous sites.
