These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another.

For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure can be achieved, and no limitation is imposed herein.

[0021] It should be noted that the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision, and disclosure of user personal information involved in the technical solution disclosed herein all comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and do not violate public order and good morals.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for assessing the full-cycle stability of open-pit coal mine slopes according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1As shown, it should be noted that the open-pit coal mine slope full-cycle stability assessment method of this disclosure is applied to the open-pit coal mine slope full-cycle stability assessment device. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps: Step 101: Obtain deformation monitoring data of open-pit coal mine slopes.

[0023] In one embodiment, deformation monitoring data may include slope displacement data collected at different time points and the time of collection for each slope displacement data.

[0024] In some embodiments, data cleaning can be performed on open-pit coal mine slope deformation monitoring data. First, the open-pit coal mine slope deformation monitoring data is resampled, transforming the massive monitoring data sampled at high frequency (seconds) into finer-grained low-frequency sampling (minutes, hours, days, etc.), reducing the data processing scale. Then, data cleaning methods such as interpolation, error correction, and filtering are used to address data missing, anomalies, and fluctuations. For data collected from different monitoring devices, the data format can be standardized before data cleaning. All these data cleaning methods can be automatically implemented by writing Python code.

[0025] Step 102: Generate a slope deformation curve based on deformation monitoring data, which includes the mapping relationship between the cumulative displacement of the slope and time.

[0026] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the slope deformation curve can be smoothed to obtain a smoothed slope deformation curve.

[0027] Step 103: Generate a deformation rate curve based on the slope deformation curve, which includes the mapping relationship between the slope deformation rate and time, and determine the curve tangent angle corresponding to each time point in the deformation rate curve, as well as the variation characteristics of the curve tangent angle.

[0028] In one embodiment, a deformation rate curve, which includes the mapping relationship between the slope deformation rate and time, can be generated based on the smoothed slope deformation curve.

[0029] As an example of a possible implementation, the instantaneous rate at each time point can be calculated by dividing the displacement difference between adjacent time points on the slope deformation curve by the time difference. Connecting all the instantaneous rates together yields a "deformation rate-time" curve, which is the aforementioned deformation rate curve.

[0030] It should be noted that the curve tangent angle is the angle between the tangent at a certain point on the deformation rate curve and the horizontal time axis.

[0031] As an example of a possible implementation, a very short time interval Δt can be taken on the rate curve, and the change in rate Δv during this time interval can be calculated. Then the tangent of the curve's tangent angle tan(θ) ≈ Δv / Δt. The curve's tangent angle θ = arctan(Δv / Δt) can then be obtained using the arctangent function.

[0032] In some embodiments, the change characteristics of the curve tangent angle may refer to the curve tangent angle continuously decreasing, or the curve tangent angle being within a preset angle range for a preset time period, or the curve tangent angle being greater than a first preset angle for a preset time period, or the curve tangent angle being greater than a second preset angle.

[0033] Step 104: Determine the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope based on the variation characteristics of the curve tangent angle.

[0034] The creep stage includes deceleration creep stage, uniform creep stage, stable accelerated creep stage, and unstable accelerated creep stage.

[0035] It should be noted that the tangent angle of the curve is a direct geometric representation of the "acceleration" of slope deformation, which can accurately reflect the dynamic process of slope deformation and thus correspond to different landslide risk levels. An increase in the tangent angle of the curve indicates an increase in the acceleration of slope deformation, while a decrease in the tangent angle indicates a decrease in the acceleration of slope deformation.

[0036] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 104 may specifically include the following steps: When the tangent angle of the curve continues to decrease, the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is determined to be the deceleration creep stage. When the tangent angle of the curve is within the preset angle range for a preset time period, the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is determined to be the uniform creep stage. If the tangent angle of the curve is greater than the first preset angle within a preset time period and the tangent angle of the curve continues to increase, the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is determined to be the stable accelerated creep stage. When the tangent angle of the curve is greater than the second preset angle, the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is determined to be the unstable accelerated creep stage; the first preset angle is less than the second preset angle.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first preset angle can be 45°. That is, when the tangent angle of the curve is continuously greater than 45° and the tangent angle of the curve increases monotonically, the time period is the stable accelerated creep stage.

[0038] In some embodiments, the value range of the second preset angle can be 60°-70°. For example, when the tangent angle of the curve exceeds 70°, it is an unstable accelerated creep stage.

[0039] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after step 104, the method may further include the following steps: The creep stage of at least one neighborhood of an open-pit coal mine slope is determined based on deformation monitoring data collected from at least one monitoring point in the neighborhood of the open-pit coal mine slope. If, in at least one neighborhood, there is a predetermined number of creep stages that coincide with the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, a stability assessment is performed using an assessment index and stability assessment method that matches the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, and a comprehensive assessment index value is obtained.

[0040] In one embodiment, the deformation monitoring data of the open-pit coal mine slope can be collected from a monitoring point on the open-pit coal mine slope. After determining the creep stage of the monitoring point, the same determination method can be used to determine the creep stage of at least one monitoring point in its neighborhood, thus obtaining the creep stage of at least one neighborhood. If there is a preset number of creep stages in the creep stages of at least one neighborhood that are consistent with the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, it indicates that the creep stage of the monitoring point is relatively reliable and accurate.

[0041] In one embodiment, the aforementioned preset quantity can be pre-set according to actual conditions, or it can be determined based on the total number of at least one monitoring point in the vicinity of the open-pit coal mine slope. For example, if 60% of the monitoring points in the vicinity correspond to the same creep stage as the open-pit coal mine slope, this is considered reliable in determining the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope. The next step is to perform a stability assessment using an assessment index and stability assessment method that matches the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, and obtain a comprehensive assessment index value.

[0042] It is understandable that data from a single monitoring point may fluctuate abnormally due to accidental factors such as temporary equipment malfunctions, minor local disturbances (e.g., small rockfalls), or data transmission interference. Making decisions based solely on data from a single point (e.g., a point suddenly changing to "accelerated creep") is highly likely to lead to false alarms. This disclosure requires that multiple points within an area (e.g., more than 70% of the monitoring points) show the same creep trend before determining that the area has entered that stage. This effectively filters out single-point noise, making the diagnosis of the overall slope condition more reliable and accurate.

[0043] In some embodiments of this disclosure, if at least one neighboring region is in a creep stage where there is no preset number of creep stages that coincide with the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, that is, if the region that coincides with the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is in a small number or does not exist, it indicates that there may be a problem with the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope. Warning information can be output to prompt the user to find and solve the problem, or to promptly adopt other methods to conduct slope stability assessment.

[0044] It should be noted that the creep stage of at least one neighborhood can be determined by the creep stage determination method proposed in any embodiment of this disclosure, and will not be elaborated here.

[0045] Step 105: When the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is a decelerating creep stage, a uniform creep stage, or a stable accelerating creep stage, a stability assessment is conducted using an assessment index and a stability assessment method that matches the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, and a comprehensive assessment index value is obtained.

[0046] The evaluation indicators include dynamic evaluation indicators and static evaluation indicators; the stability evaluation methods include long-term evaluation, medium-term evaluation and short-term evaluation.

[0047] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 105 may specifically include the following steps: When the creep stage is a decelerating creep stage, static evaluation indicators are used to conduct a long-term evaluation of open-pit coal mine slopes and calculate the comprehensive evaluation index value. When the creep stage is uniform creep stage, static evaluation indexes are used to conduct a mid-term evaluation of open-pit coal mine slopes to obtain comprehensive evaluation index values. When the creep stage is a stable accelerated creep stage, dynamic evaluation indicators are used to conduct a short-term evaluation of open-pit coal mine slopes to obtain comprehensive evaluation index values.

[0048] It should be noted that during the deceleration creep stage, the slope undergoes initial deformation and is self-adjusting and tending towards stability. This stability is long-term and is mainly determined by inherent, slowly changing "static" geological conditions. Therefore, the evaluation method can focus on the slope's geometry (such as slope height and slope angle) and the physical and mechanical properties of the soil and rock mass (such as internal friction angle and cohesion). These are the fundamental parameters that determine the slope's limit equilibrium capacity. By evaluating these indicators through fuzzy comprehensive analysis, a macro-level, strategic judgment can be made on the slope's "inherent stability" over the next few months to years, providing a basis for overall mine planning.

[0049] Furthermore, during the uniform creep stage, the slope is in a fragile equilibrium state, with deformation continuing but at a constant rate. This means that all long-term static factors are working together to maintain or weaken this equilibrium. Therefore, the evaluation method can more comprehensively consider all static factors. Groundwater indicators (such as water level) and geological structure indicators (such as rock mass GSI values) are added to the long-term evaluation indicators. Although these factors are relatively stable, they have a continuous impact on slope stability. The purpose of the mid-term evaluation is to monitor the health of this equilibrium state and determine whether it will deteriorate; the warning timescale can be from several weeks to several months.

[0050] Furthermore, during the stable accelerated creep stage, the risk of slope instability increases dramatically. Evaluation methods can incorporate dynamic indicators, such as real-time rainfall intensity and blasting vibration acceleration, in addition to considering all static factors. These dynamic factors are the direct triggers for disrupting the fragile balance of the slope and causing disasters. The purpose of short-term evaluation is to conduct pre-disaster assessments, shortening the warning timescale to several days or even hours, providing direct decision support for emergency responses (such as evacuation and work stoppages).

[0051] In this embodiment, when the creep stage of an open-pit coal mine slope is in a decelerating creep stage, a uniform creep stage, or a stable accelerating creep stage, a stability assessment is conducted using evaluation indicators and stability assessment methods that match the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope. This yields a comprehensive evaluation index value, overcoming the drawbacks of traditional single-model, one-size-fits-all approaches. Since the dominant factors for slope stability differ under different life cycles and risk states, matching the most relevant evaluation indicators makes the evaluation conclusions more consistent with the physical reality of slope evolution, significantly improving the accuracy of the analysis. Furthermore, traditional methods trigger alarms solely based on deformation rate exceeding a threshold, which is highly susceptible to false alarms due to local disturbances or equipment noise. This disclosure, through a dual verification of "creep stage judgment + corresponding factor evaluation," greatly reduces false alarms, making the system more reliable and easier to adopt and implement on-site.

[0052] In some embodiments of this disclosure, long-term evaluation, medium-term evaluation, and short-term evaluation are all performed using a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, which includes: Step a1: Obtain the preset evaluation level of the evaluation indicators.

[0053] In one embodiment, the preset evaluation level may include "stable", "relatively stable", "less stable" and "unstable".

[0054] Step a2: For each evaluation indicator, use a normal membership function to calculate the membership degree of the measured value of the evaluation indicator corresponding to different preset evaluation levels.

[0055] In this embodiment of the disclosure, for each evaluation index (such as internal friction angle and slope height), its specific measured value is substituted into a preset normal membership function to obtain the membership degree of the measured value to each preset evaluation level. In this way, a certain measured value is transformed into a set of "compliance degree" distributions for different levels, which effectively solves the problems of fuzziness and uncertainty in index evaluation.

[0056] Understandably, in fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, "index membership degree" transforms a specific measured value (or survey score) into the degree of belonging to each evaluation level within the interval [0,1]. That is, it substitutes the measured value into the "membership function" to obtain a value between [0,1]. Commonly used membership functions include: rectangular functions, linear trapezoidal functions, sigmoid functions, and π-type functions.

[0057] Step a3: Based on the principle of minimum information entropy, the attribute weights and grade weights of the evaluation indicators are fused to obtain the comprehensive weight.

[0058] Among them, the attribute weights are calculated using the analytic hierarchy process and are used to characterize the importance of the evaluation indicators themselves, while the grade weights are calculated using the interval assignment method and are used to characterize the distinguishability of the evaluation indicators at different evaluation grades.

[0059] In one embodiment, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be used to quantify the importance of each evaluation indicator through expert scoring. An interval assignment method can be used to quantify the distinguishing ability of the same indicator at different levels.

[0060] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the principle of minimum information entropy is used to fuse the attribute weights and grade weights of the evaluation indicators to obtain a comprehensive weight, thereby ensuring that the final weight takes into account both expert experience (attribute weights) and conforms to the objective distribution law of data (grade weights), making the weight allocation more objective and reasonable.

[0061] Step a4: Based on membership degree and comprehensive weight, the fuzzy evaluation result is obtained through weighted calculation, and the fuzzy evaluation result is processed using the confidence degree identification principle to output the final stability level as the comprehensive evaluation index value.

[0062] In this embodiment, the membership degree (which may be a membership degree matrix) and the comprehensive weight are synthesized through a weighted calculation using fuzzy mathematics to obtain a fuzzy evaluation result. The fuzzy evaluation result is processed using a confidence level identification principle. A confidence level threshold (e.g., λ=0.7) is set, and the membership degree is accumulated starting from the optimal level (“stable”). When the accumulated sum first exceeds the threshold, the current level is used as the final output.

[0063] For example, if the fuzzy evaluation results are {Stable: 0.2, Relatively Stable: 0.3, Instable: 0.4, Unstable: 0.1}, and λ = 0.7, then starting from "Stable", the values ​​are accumulated as follows: 0.2 < 0.7; 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5 < 0.7; 0.5 + 0.4 = 0.9 ≥ 0.7. Therefore, the final evaluation level is "Instable".

[0064] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: performing wide-range processing on the normal membership functions of the best and worst levels in the preset evaluation levels, so that the membership degrees of the best and worst levels are still between 0 and 1 when the measured values ​​exceed the preset threshold range.

[0065] It should be noted that, in fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the first and last levels (optimal and worst) often have boundary closure problems (i.e., after exceeding the optimal threshold, the membership degree jumps to 1, making it indistinguishable even if it is better, and after exceeding the worst threshold, the membership degree directly becomes 0, resulting in the loss of worse information), a semi-open "wide-domain tail" is added to each of these two levels to keep the membership degree 0 < μ < 1 in the extreme interval, thus preserving the distinguishability and avoiding hard truncation.

[0066] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes: When the creep stage is an unstable accelerated creep stage, the slope deformation curve is input into the trained Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network model to obtain the curve trend prediction result output by the LSTM model based on the slope deformation curve. Obtain the predicted value of slope deformation from the curve trend prediction results, and output early warning information when the predicted value of slope deformation is greater than the preset deformation threshold.

[0067] In one embodiment, the early warning information may include an early warning level. The early warning level and early warning threshold (preset deformation threshold) can be determined by analyzing historical cases of slope spalling or sliding at the mine, combined with deformation monitoring data. Early warning indicators may include cumulative deformation value, deformation rate, and tangent angle. Early warning levels are divided into four levels: blue, yellow, orange, and red.

[0068] As an example of a possible implementation, the LSTM model can be trained using the following steps: determining the number of LSTM layers and the number of units in the parent layer; adding a Dense layer to process the data and output the prediction results, and adding a Dropout layer to prevent overfitting; selecting a loss function and optimizer, and compiling the model; dividing the monitored slope displacement data into training set data and validation set data according to a ratio (e.g., 70% and 30%), using the training set data to train the model, and repeatedly adjusting the model parameters using the validation set data until the optimal value is reached.

[0069] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the slope enters the unstable accelerated creep stage, the deformation curve is predicted by using a pre-trained LSTM deep learning model, which can achieve advanced and accurate early warning of slope instability. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional alarms based on fixed thresholds, such as lag and false alarms. By predicting whether the future deformation value exceeds the threshold, the scientificity and reliability of the landslide warning are significantly improved, and the risk of disaster is greatly reduced.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process begins with importing and cleaning slope monitoring data, followed by determining the creep stage of the slope curve. If it is determined to be decelerating creep deformation, a static factor analysis of slope stability is conducted, and a long-term evaluation of slope stability is performed. If it is stable creep deformation, a mid-term evaluation of slope stability is implemented through a static factor analysis of slope stability. If it is stable accelerating deformation, a short-term evaluation of slope stability is conducted by combining static and dynamic factor analyses of slope stability. If it does not belong to any of the above three creep stages, the process proceeds to the slope deformation and slippage curve prediction stage. Subsequently, a slope slippage warning is issued based on the slope slippage warning index threshold, clarifying the warning level and scope, and providing corresponding measures and suggestions, thus forming a complete slope stability assessment and risk response process.

[0071] According to the full-cycle stability assessment method for open-pit coal mine slopes proposed in this disclosure, a slope deformation curve is generated based on the deformation monitoring data of the open-pit coal mine slope, including the mapping relationship between the cumulative displacement of the slope and time; a deformation rate curve is generated based on the slope deformation curve, including the mapping relationship between the slope deformation rate and time; the tangent angle of the curve corresponding to each time point in the deformation rate curve is determined, as well as the variation characteristics of the tangent angle; the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is determined based on the variation characteristics of the tangent angle; when the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope is a decelerating creep stage, a uniform creep stage, or a stable accelerating creep stage, a stability assessment is performed using an assessment index and stability assessment method that matches the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, and a comprehensive assessment index value is obtained. By utilizing the tangent angle of the slope deformation rate curve at different time points, the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope can be determined. An assessment index and stability assessment method suitable for this creep stage can be selected to assess the stability of the slope. This achieves a refined and adaptive safety assessment of the entire life cycle of the open-pit coal mine slope, significantly improving the accuracy and timeliness of the stability assessment of the open-pit coal mine slope.

[0072] Figure 3 This is a block diagram of a full-cycle stability assessment device for open-pit coal mine slopes, according to an exemplary embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The device includes an acquisition unit 301, a generation unit 302, a first determination unit 303, a second determination unit 304, and an evaluation unit 305.

[0073] Among them, the acquisition unit 301 is used to acquire deformation monitoring data of open-pit coal mine slopes; The generation unit 302 is used to generate a slope deformation curve based on deformation monitoring data, including the mapping relationship between the cumulative displacement of the slope and time. The first determining unit 303 is used to generate a deformation rate curve based on the slope deformation curve, including the mapping relationship between the slope deformation rate and time, and to determine the curve tangent angle corresponding to each time point in the deformation rate curve, as well as the variation characteristics of the curve tangent angle. The second determining unit 304 is used to determine the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope based on the variation characteristics of the curve tangent angle; the creep stage includes deceleration creep stage, uniform creep stage, stable accelerated creep stage and unstable accelerated creep stage. The assessment unit 305 is used to conduct stability assessments using assessment indicators and stability assessment methods that match the creep stage of the open-pit coal mine slope, and to obtain comprehensive assessment index values. The assessment indicators include dynamic assessment indicators and static assessment indicators. The stability assessment methods include long-term evaluation, medium-term evaluation and short-term evaluation.
