Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering monitoring technology, specifically to a deformation monitoring system and control method for soft foundation beam fields based on a hydrostatic level. Background Technology

[0002] When constructing beam yards on soft soil foundations, the characteristics of soft soil, such as high compressibility, low strength, and high water content, make the beam yards highly susceptible to deformation during construction and operation. If these deformations are not monitored and controlled in a timely manner, they can lead to serious consequences such as beam cracking and structural instability, affecting project quality and safety. Traditional deformation monitoring methods have many limitations. For example, total station monitoring requires professional operation and has limited measurement frequency, making real-time, continuous monitoring difficult; manual leveling is inefficient, labor-intensive, and its accuracy is greatly affected by human factors. Existing automated monitoring systems still need improvement in terms of data accuracy, system stability, and adaptability to the complex environment of soft soil foundation beam yards. As a high-precision elevation measurement instrument, the static level has advantages such as high accuracy and good stability, and has been applied in some engineering monitoring. However, there is currently no complete deformation monitoring system and control method for soft foundation beam fields based on the static level that can fully utilize the advantages of the static level to achieve comprehensive, accurate, and real-time deformation monitoring and effective control of soft foundation beam fields.

Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of a soft foundation beam field deformation monitoring system based on a hydrostatic level according to the present invention. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a soft foundation beam field deformation control method based on a hydrostatic level, according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] Please see the appendix Figure 1 This invention provides a deformation monitoring system and control method for soft foundation beam fields based on a hydrostatic level, comprising: The hydrostatic level service network consists of multiple hydrostatic levels, used to measure liquid level data at various monitoring points; The data acquisition and transmission module is connected to multiple hydrostatic levels to acquire liquid level data measured by the hydrostatic levels in real time and transmit it to the data processing and analysis module. The data processing and analysis module is used to receive data transmitted by the data acquisition and transmission module, preprocess the data, and use data analysis algorithms to calculate the deformation information of each monitoring point based on the liquid level data, and analyze and predict the deformation trend. The early warning and alarm module is used to set deformation thresholds so that when the detected deformation data exceeds the deformation threshold, the early warning and alarm functions are triggered immediately. The user interface module provides users with an intuitive and convenient operating interface, enabling them to view deformation data, deformation trend diagrams, and early warning information of various monitoring points in the beam yard in real time, as well as set system parameters, including deformation thresholds and monitoring frequency.

[0015] The communication protocol used between the above modules is as follows: The static level instrument service network and data acquisition and transmission module are connected via MODBUS-RTU, without the need for an additional gateway, and are directly connected to the data acquisition and transmission module terminal via RS485 bus; The data acquisition and transmission module and the data processing and analysis module communicate using the MQTT protocol (wireless transmission) + TCP / IP protocol (wired transmission). The data processing and analysis module and the early warning and alarm module communicate via an HTTP / REST API; The early warning and alarm module and the user interface module communicate using WebSocket (real-time data push) + HTTP (static resource loading).

[0016] Specifically, in the early warning and alarm module, the set deformation threshold needs to consider multiple factors such as structural characteristics, safety margin, monitoring accuracy, and environmental conditions. There is no fixed value; it needs to be determined through a combination of scientific calculations and engineering experience. The following is a detailed analysis: Structural safety margin: The deformation threshold needs to have sufficient safety margin to avoid false alarms triggered by minor deformations, and at the same time ensure timely warnings before the structure reaches the critical state.

[0017] Monitoring accuracy matching: The accuracy of the hydrostatic level (e.g., 0.01mm or 0.1%FS) must match the threshold. If the instrument accuracy is 0.01mm, setting the threshold too small (e.g., 0.05mm) may lead to frequent false alarms, while setting it too large (e.g., 5mm) may cause key deformations to be missed.

[0018] Environmental adaptability: Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity may cause measurement errors. For example, a temperature change of 1°C may result in a liquid level change of 0.02 mm. It is necessary to correct the data through a temperature compensation algorithm or appropriately relax the threshold to cover environmental interference.

[0019] Furthermore, in the static leveling instrument service network, each monitoring point is equipped with a static leveling instrument to monitor the items listed in Table 1 below. The monitoring range and number of monitoring points for each monitoring point are shown in Table 1 below.

[0020] Table 1

[0021] The settlement monitoring data at each monitoring point are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2

[0022] In this exemplary embodiment, the static levels in the static leveling instrument service network are rationally distributed at key locations in the soft soil foundation beam yard, such as the 260T track foundation and the mixing plant silos, according to the layout and monitoring needs of the beam yard. The static levels are connected via connecting pipes to form a unified liquid level balance system, ensuring accurate measurement of liquid level data at each monitoring point.

[0023] In an exemplary embodiment, the data acquisition and transmission module includes: The data acquisition module is used to acquire liquid level data measured by multiple hydrostatic levels in real time. The data transmission module is used to transmit liquid level data to the data processing and analysis module.

[0024] Among them, several hydrostatic levels meet the following conditions: measuring range ±50mm, resolution 0.01mm, and temperature compensation range -20℃ to +60℃.

[0025] Furthermore, the data transmission module employs wireless transmission technologies such as 4G, 5G, or LoRa (Long Range) to transmit the collected data to the data processing and analysis module in a timely manner, reducing wiring costs and maintenance difficulties, thereby improving the system's flexibility and scalability. LoRa, in particular, is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) communication technology, especially suitable for the long-distance, low-power communication needs of IoT devices.

[0026] In an exemplary embodiment, the data processing and analysis module includes: The data processing module is used to receive data transmitted from the data acquisition and transmission module and to preprocess the data. The data analysis module is used to calculate the deformation (settlement, displacement) information of each monitoring point based on the liquid level data using data analysis algorithms, and to analyze and predict the deformation trend.

[0027] The specific implementation method of the data analysis algorithm for calculating deformation information and predicting deformation trends is as follows: I. Data Preprocessing: Ensuring Data Quality (1) Outlier removal Methods: Abnormal liquid level data (such as jumps caused by instrument failure or environmental interference) were identified and removed using the 3σ criterion or box plot method.

[0028] Example: If the standard deviation of the liquid level data at a certain monitoring point is 0.5 mm, data exceeding the mean ± 1.5 mm are considered abnormal and removed.

[0029] (2) Handling missing values Method: Missing liquid level data were filled using linear interpolation or time series smoothing (such as moving average).

[0030] Example: If data for a certain period is missing, fill it with the average of the three periods before and after.

[0031] II. Deformation Calculation: From Liquid Level to Settlement / Displacement (1) Selection of reference points Fixed reference point: Select a geologically stable area (such as bedrock far from the construction area) as the reference point, and consider the liquid level change to be zero.

[0032] Relative reference point: If there is no fixed point, the average liquid level of multiple monitoring points can be used as a dynamic reference.

[0033] (2) Settlement calculation Principle: Settlement = Change in liquid level at monitoring point - Change in liquid level at reference point.

[0034] formula: .

[0035] In the formula: Let be the settlement amount at the i-th monitoring point at time t; To monitor the change in liquid level at the monitoring point; This represents the change in liquid level at the reference point.

[0036] (3) Displacement calculation (horizontal direction) Multi-point joint calculation: If it is necessary to monitor horizontal displacement (such as lateral movement in a soft foundation beam field), it is necessary to combine the data from the inclinometer or total station and calculate through geometric relationships.

[0037] Simplified method: Differentiate the settlement difference between adjacent monitoring points to approximate the horizontal displacement (suitable for scenarios with small deformation).

[0038] III. Trend Analysis: Identifying Variation Patterns (1) Time series analysis Methods: Plot the curve of settlement over time and observe the deformation trend (such as linear growth, exponential decay, and periodic fluctuation).

[0039] Tools: Use line charts or scatter plots to overlay fitted curves (such as multinomial regression or exponential functions).

[0040] Example: If the settlement curve is "S" shaped, it may indicate that the soft soil foundation is in an accelerated settlement stage, and monitoring should be strengthened.

[0041] (2) Rate analysis The daily settlement rate is calculated using the following formula:

[0042] In the formula: This represents the settlement at the i-th monitoring point at time t2; This represents the settlement amount at the i-th monitoring point at time t1.

[0043] IV. Predictive Modeling: Early Warning of Risks Establish a time series forecasting model: (1) Establish an ARIMA model: suitable for linear trend data, predicting future values ​​through historical subsidence sequences.

[0044] Steps: Data stabilization → Model order determination (p, d, q) → Parameter estimation → Prediction.

[0045] Example: Build an ARIMA(1,1,1) model based on the settlement data of a monitoring point over the past 30 days to predict the deformation over the next 7 days.

[0046] (2) LSTM neural network model: suitable for nonlinear, long-period deformable data, capturing complex time series patterns.

[0047] Input: Historical settlement sequence, temperature, load and other multivariate data.

[0048] Output: Future deformation and confidence interval.

[0049] It should be noted that both the ARIMA model and the LSTM neural network model are existing technologies and will not be discussed in detail here.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the early warning and alarm module includes: The threshold monitoring module is used to set the deformation threshold and monitor the deformation threshold. The alarm module is used to immediately trigger early warning and alarm functions when the monitored deformation data exceeds the deformation threshold. Specifically, the alarm module notifies relevant personnel in a timely manner through various means such as SMS, email, and audible and visual alarms so that appropriate measures can be taken, such as reinforcing the foundation or adjusting the loading sequence of the beams.

[0051] The above embodiments of the present invention, by constructing a soft foundation beam yard deformation monitoring system based on a hydrostatic leveling instrument service network, achieve high-precision, real-time, and automated monitoring of soft foundation beam yard deformation, improve monitoring efficiency and accuracy, realize automation to reduce manpower and costs, and reduce the impact of human factors on monitoring results.

[0052] The above embodiments of the present invention analyze and predict deformation trends through data analysis algorithms. Through the early warning and alarm module, abnormal deformation in the beam yard can be detected in a timely manner, providing a scientific basis for decision-making and effectively ensuring the construction quality and operational safety of the beam yard.
