[0002] At present, there are problems such as data fragmentation, process fragmentation and platform fragmentation between geological modeling and structure design in the tunnel design industry. On the one hand, the expression of geological information still stays at the level of two-dimensional drawings and static profile maps, which cannot be effectively coupled with the structure model, resulting in that the structure design cannot fully consider the influence of geological changes; on the other hand, the traditional BIM modeling is mainly based on structure, and lacks geological modeling capability, which causes problems such as incomplete construction information, insufficient model depth, design and construction disconnection and the like. In addition, the design data between different stages and different roles is difficult to share, and there is a lack of unified standard, which affects the reusability of the model and the fine management of the project.

[0081] The following will describe in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0082] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments:
[0083] like Figures 1-2As shown, an integrated geological modeling and tunnel structure design method employs multi-source data-driven 3D modeling, combining spatial data representation, attribute semantic modeling, and parametric design to achieve the availability and continuity of geological information in structural design. The method includes the following steps:
[0084] S1. Based on piecewise polynomial interpolation and weighted fusion of engineering survey control points, a terrain surface model for 3D modeling is constructed.
[0085] The terrain surface is constructed based on the fusion of spatial geometric constraints and terrain data. The modeling domain is defined by line strings or boundary shapes, and the terrain surface is represented as a piecewise continuous spatial function to reduce the computational complexity of the model while ensuring the integrity of spatial coverage. The mathematical expression is as follows:
[0086] , ;
[0087] in, Represents the modeling domain. Indicates terrain elevation. For piecewise continuous functions, they can be represented by polynomial interpolation or spline functions:
[0088] ;
[0089] in, As basis functions, Here, n represents the control point weights, and m represents the number of segments.
[0090] System Implementation: The "Terrain Drawing and Management Unit" in the geological modeling module is responsible for reading terrain data (point cloud, digital elevation model) and generating a 3D terrain mesh (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). Import terrain data (measurement points or DEM files), define the modeling extent using line strings or closed geometry, generate a 3D terrain mesh based on a continuous function, and visualize to check mesh integrity and coverage.
[0091] It is important to note that a buffer zone should be left at the boundary of the modeling area to provide spatial constraints for subsequent tunnel structure design; the number of control points should be balanced between accuracy and computational efficiency; and outliers in elevation should be removed or corrected during the data preprocessing stage.
[0092] S2. By using attributed, symbolic, and standardized expressions, stratigraphic information is unified with spatial geometry, realizing multi-dimensional semantic mapping of stratigraphic names, colors, and symbols;
[0093] The stratigraphic data is represented using a unified approach of attributed and symbolic representation. Stratigraphic names, colors, and symbols are used as a set of stratigraphic attributes. The color mapping rules are based on the "Engineering Geological Mapping Standard" and support user-defined stratigraphic-color association libraries, forming a data standard suitable for different model environments and ensuring the consistency of geological objects at the semantic and geometric levels.
[0094] Each stratigraphic unit It can be represented as a set of attributes:
[0095] ;
[0096] in, Indicates the name of the stratigraphy; Colors are represented, and the color mapping rules are selected according to the "Standard for Engineering Geological Mapping" (GB / T 50574-2010); Symbols are used to represent things, such as dots and stripes; Indicates density; Indicates the elastic modulus; Indicates Poisson's ratio; Indicates the angle of internal friction; It represents cohesion.
[0097] System implementation: The "Stratigraphic Drawing and Management Unit" in the geological modeling module enables the input and storage of stratigraphic attributes. Users can input or import exploration data (Excel / JSON format) through the interface, and the system will automatically generate attributed stratigraphic units.
[0098] It is important to note that attribute values must strictly adhere to specifications (such as surrounding rock grade and physical and mechanical parameters); symbols and colors should be consistent to ensure that the model's visualization effect is consistent with its semantic mapping.
[0099] S3. Based on the spatial coordinates of the borehole points, thickness parameters, and stratigraphic association rules, construct an integrated point-layer-volume borehole model to form a discretized constraint system for the geological structure.
[0100] The construction of the borehole model is a discretization expression method based on spatial coordinate constraints, thickness functions and stratigraphic association rules. The borehole point is used as the spatial control point, the thickness parameter is used as the vertical layer constraint, and the stratigraphic association is used as the attribute mapping relationship to realize the point-layer-volume integrated expression of the geological body.
[0101] Borehole data is the core of 3D geological modeling; each borehole... It includes spatial coordinates, layer thickness, and stratigraphic association rules, namely:
[0102] ;
[0103] in, Represents the spatial coordinates of the borehole; Indicates the thickness of the j-th layer; Represents the mapping of formation attributes;
[0104] By using integrated point-layer-volume modeling, continuous three-dimensional geological bodies can be formed. ,Right now:
[0105] .
[0106] The system implements the following: The "borehole model unit" is responsible for importing borehole data, identifying layers, and assigning attributes. The system supports the fusion of multi-source data, such as original borehole data, ground-penetrating radar data, and geophysical data. It can automatically generate point-layer-volume constraints for profile fitting and 3D interpolation.
[0107] It is important to note that the data format should be consistent (CSV, JSON, BIM standard interface); the spacing between borehole points should be set according to the geological complexity to ensure the continuity of the model; outliers or missing data can be corrected through spatial interpolation or geological rules.
[0108] S4. By using two-dimensional to three-dimensional mapping, the longitudinal and transverse profiles are associated with the borehole model, and geological lines are used as fitting support to achieve continuous expression of geological interfaces.
[0109] In the 2D-3D mapping, the longitudinal profile is dominated by linear station coordinates, while the transverse profile is based on local orthogonal coordinates. The 3D borehole data is mapped to the 2D profile through profile projection, and then the fitting support between the 2D and 3D models is established through segmented continuous geological line markings.
[0110] The continuous representation of borehole models and three-dimensional geological bodies is achieved through two-dimensional longitudinal and transverse profile mapping:
[0111] ;
[0112] Among them, the longitudinal profile is a linear coordinate system along the station direction; the transverse profile is a locally orthogonal coordinate system; and the geological line fitting is the fitting of profile data by piecewise continuous curves or spline functions (B-spline).
[0113] The system implements interactive generation of longitudinal and transverse profiles using "geological profiles and identifier units". Users can manually or automatically select profile points, and the system generates fitted geological lines. These geological lines serve as boundary conditions in the 3D model to guide the generation of stratigraphic bodies.
[0114] It is important to note that the spacing between profiles and the number of profile lines should be balanced between modeling accuracy and computational load; geological lines should be smooth and continuous, avoiding local intersections or self-intersections; profile priorities can be set to handle complex faults or fracture zones.
[0115] S5. Based on spatial interpolation and Boolean algebra operations, stratigraphic volumes are generated layer by layer to realize the logical segmentation and spatial splicing of multi-layer geological units and obtain a complete three-dimensional geological model.
[0116] The construction of three-dimensional geological interfaces and stratigraphic volumes is based on a combination of spatial interpolation and Boolean algebra. The geological interfaces are jointly fitted using borehole control points and geological profile lines. A continuous surface interpolation method is used to form the boundary surfaces. Then, Boolean subtraction and intersection operations in set theory are used to generate stratigraphic volumes layer by layer, achieving the logical segmentation and continuous splicing of multiple geological units in space; that is:
[0117] Generate a complete three-dimensional geological body through spatial interpolation and Boolean algebra operations:
[0118] ;
[0119] in, This represents the geological interface of the i-th layer. This is the intersection of upper geological bodies;
[0120] Spatial interpolation uses either kriging or polynomial interpolation:
[0121] ;
[0122] in, Indicates the interpolation weights; Indicates the elevation of the control point.
[0123] The system implements: "Geological interface units" generate a 3D mesh, and layer-by-layer Boolean operations form a complete geological body (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it supports the inheritance of soil and rock properties (density, elastic modulus, friction angle, etc.), and the output can be used for parametric input in finite element analysis and tunnel structure design.
[0124] It is important to note that the mesh density must meet the requirements of structural design and mechanical analysis; for complex faults or fracture zones, additional profiles and control points are required; and attention should be paid to the order of Boolean operations during the calculation process to ensure logical correctness.
[0125] S6. Through parametric design and rule matching, establish the coupling relationship between the tunnel cross section and the surrounding rock grade and ultra-high parameters, and generate a three-dimensional model of the tunnel structure by stretching the cross section profile and automatically matching the component library.
[0126] When generating a 3D model of the tunnel structure, the 2D cross-section constitutes a parameterized constraint set using station number, surrounding rock grade, and superelevation parameters. ,Right now:
[0127] ;
[0128] in, Indicates the tunnel radius or cross-sectional profile parameter; Indicates superelevation of the cross section; Indicates the cross-sectional thickness; Indicates the surrounding rock grade;
[0129] The 3D model is generated as a solid by spatially stretching the cross-sectional contour, that is: through the 2D contour curve. Spatial stretching generates a three-dimensional main hole:
[0130] ;
[0131] in, Indicates the length of the tunnel curve; This indicates that the solid volume is generated by stretching along the curve.
[0132] System implementation: The "parametric unit" in the tunnel structure design module enables parameter input and two-dimensional contour generation. It supports the import of national standards or enterprise design specifications, automatically matches cross-sectional dimensions and material properties, and can generate the contours of the primary support, secondary lining and trench, and automatically calculate structural parameters such as cross-sectional area and moment of inertia.
[0133] It is important to note that cross-sectional stretching should be cross-checked with a three-dimensional geological model to avoid conflicts with unsuitable strata or underground structures; cross-sectional parameters should take into account construction process limitations, such as shield diameter and lining installation space; for high-grade surrounding rock, the parameters of thickened primary support or secondary lining can be increased to ensure a safety factor.
[0134] The component layout establishes a rule base based on the matching relationship between the surrounding rock grade and the tunnel curve, enabling automated selection and layout of tunnel components. Furthermore, the layout parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the condition of the fractured strata. Component assembly. This includes steel frames, anchor bolts, locking anchor bolts, portals, and retaining walls, namely:
[0135] ;
[0136] Each component Define attribute set:
[0137] ;
[0138] Among them, PlacementRules represents the installation spacing, direction, and support method, while GeoLink represents the rules for associating components with geological bodies;
[0139] By rule matching function Automatic placement:
[0140] ;
[0141] in, Representing a three-dimensional geological model, This represents parameterized section constraints.
[0142] System Implementation: Automatic Component Matching and Layout Unit: Based on cross-sectional parameters and geological conditions, the system retrieves templates from the component library to automatically generate the positions and attributes of steel frames, anchor bolts, and tunnel portals. The layout density and spacing can be adjusted to adapt to different surrounding rock grades and construction requirements. The system supports integration with 3D visualization modules (such as...). Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown in the image, users can view the component layout in real time and make fine adjustments.
[0143] It is important to note that the arrangement of components must meet the feasibility requirements of construction, such as the installation sequence of the tunnel boring machine and the drilling angle of the anchor bolts; for irregular cross-section areas or fault fracture zones, the arrangement rules can be manually adjusted; the size and material properties of the components must be consistent with the enterprise standards and specifications.
[0144] S7. Integrate and output the three-dimensional geological model and the three-dimensional model of the tunnel structure in a unified and multi-formatted manner to achieve full-process integration and information sharing from geological modeling to structural design;
[0145] Through coupling function Combining the three-dimensional geological model with the three-dimensional model of the tunnel structure:
[0146] ;
[0147] Detect the intersection of the component with the geological interface and adjust the component's position or cross-sectional parameters; calculate the structural stress and support stability based on the geological physical and mechanical parameters, which can be combined with finite element analysis.
[0148] ;
[0149] in, Indicates normal stress, Indicates strain, Represents shear stress. Indicates cohesion. This represents the angle of internal friction.
[0150] System Implementation: The tunnel structure design module and the geological modeling module are coupled through data interfaces and semantic mapping. FEM or BIM data can be exported for structural analysis or construction simulation. The system supports multiple output formats (DGN, IFC, Excel, JSON) for easy use in the construction and operation and maintenance phases.
[0151] It is important to note that geometric accuracy must be ensured during the coupling process to avoid conflicts between components and geological bodies; for complex faults or fracture zones, mesh accuracy needs to be increased or layout rules adjusted; the system should support version management to facilitate iterative design optimization.
