Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the interdisciplinary field of hydraulic engineering and geotechnical engineering, specifically to a method for controlling the stability of rock masses in surge tanks with on-demand support. Background Technology

[0002] As my country's water conservancy projects expand into areas with high water heads, large flow rates, and complex geological conditions, the demand for surge tanks in large hydropower station water conveyance systems continues to grow. Furthermore, the scale of their excavation is expanding, and the geological environment is becoming increasingly complex, placing higher demands on rock mass stability control during surge tank excavation. As a core structure of the hydropower station's water conveyance system, the surge tank faces a complex geological environment during its excavation: on the one hand, the surrounding rock often exhibits multiple fissures and concentrated ground stress, making excavation disturbances prone to rock mass displacement and fissure propagation; on the other hand, fluctuations in fluid pressure within the well can further exacerbate the deterioration of rock mass mechanical properties, leading to safety accidents such as collapses and water inrushes. However, existing methods for controlling the rock mass of surge tanks still have shortcomings that urgently need to be addressed.

[0003] Chinese patent (publication number CN119146871A) discloses a method for monitoring surrounding rock deformation based on three-dimensional point clouds. This method obtains rock surface deformation data through laser scanning and issues an early warning. However, it does not establish a mapping relationship between monitoring data and support parameters. After the early warning, it is necessary to rely on the experience of engineers to determine the support scheme. The average time from early warning to implementation exceeds 8 hours, which cannot meet the timeliness requirement of "supporting as soon as excavation".

[0004] Chinese patent (publication number CN120260230A) discloses a method for controlling the stability of the surrounding rock of a pressure regulating chamber in a high-seismic zone. The method optimizes the support structure through numerical simulation. However, it uses fixed support parameters and cannot dynamically adjust them according to the rock stress and fracture development rate collected in real time during the excavation process. This can easily lead to insufficient support strength in Class V fractured surrounding rock or material waste in Class II intact surrounding rock.

[0005] Chinese patent (publication number CN118542365A) discloses a method for predicting the surrounding rock grade based on LightGBM. Although it introduces machine learning algorithms, the model training only relies on historical static engineering data and does not include the current excavation cycle data of the project in the sample library for incremental training. As a result, when geological conditions change, the prediction accuracy of the model drops from 92% to 68%, and it cannot continuously guarantee the control accuracy.

[0006] Existing rock mass stability control technologies for pressure regulating wells still cannot achieve integrated control that includes real-time monitoring, dynamic modeling, precise support, and multi-factor coordination. There is an urgent need to propose a technical solution that can overcome these shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application discloses a method for controlling the stability of rock mass in a surge tank with on-demand support, specifically as follows:

[0008] Distributed fiber optic sensors are pre-installed around the excavation face of the surge tank well to synchronously collect stress values, displacement, and fracture development rates of the rock mass in the excavation area, forming a rock mass dataset; historical datasets are constructed using characteristic parameters and stability levels from historical projects.

[0009] Based on historical datasets, a rock mass stability judgment model was trained at the central control terminal by combining the parametric grid optimization method with the random forest algorithm, and a support scheme judgment model was trained by the LightGBM gradient boosting regression algorithm.

[0010] Based on the rock mass dataset, the current rock mass stability level is output through the rock mass stability judgment model, including the stable level, critical level and instability warning level. When the rock mass is judged to be at the critical level or instability warning level, the dynamic control mechanism is activated.

[0011] Based on the current rock mass stability level and rock mass data, the optimal support parameters are generated through the support scheme determination model. The initial support thickness of the quick-setting shotcrete, the spacing of the hollow grouting anchors, and the grouting pressure of the anchor channel are determined. The opening degree of the preset two-stage pressure regulating valve group at the bottom of the pressure regulating well is controlled to regulate the fluid pressure in the well.

[0012] After completing the excavation cycle, the central control terminal will include the data from this cycle into the model training sample library to incrementally train the random forest classification model and gradient boosting regression model until all the surge tank excavation operations are completed.

[0013] Preferably, the preset distributed optical fiber sensor specifically refers to: a preset sensor deployment depth multiple. Multiple rings of distributed fiber optic sensors are deployed at equal angular intervals along the excavation outline of the surge tank. These sensors simultaneously collect stress values, displacement, and fracture development rates of the rock mass in the excavation area. The depth of each sensor ring is equal to the excavation radius. The distributed fiber optic sensor acquires rock mass strain data using BOTDR technology and calculates stress values ​​using the following formula:

The rock mass strain values ​​are collected by distributed fiber optic sensors; the displacement is calculated by integrating the strain distribution curve of the fiber optic sensor; and the fracture development rate is determined by the ratio of the stress change gradient to the time difference in adjacent acquisition cycles.

[0016] Preferably, the step of training the rock mass stability judgment model by fusing the parametric grid optimization method with the random forest algorithm specifically involves:

[0017] The feature parameters and rock mass stress anisotropy coefficients in the historical dataset are standardized to construct the training feature set, as shown in the formula:

[0018]

[0019] in, Let j be the standardized feature parameter of the i-th sample. Let j be the feature parameter of the original i-th sample. Let be the mean of the j-th feature parameter. Let $\frac{j}{j}$ be the standard deviation of the $j$-th feature parameter.

[0020] The parameter grid optimization method is used to optimize the key parameters of the random forest algorithm, including the number of decision trees, the maximum depth of decision trees, and the minimum number of samples required for node splits. The accuracy of 5-fold cross-validation is used as the evaluation index to select the optimal parameter combination.

[0021] A random forest classification model is constructed based on the optimal parameter combination. The model output is the current rock mass stability level. During model training, core influencing features are selected based on feature importance, using the following formula:

[0024] Preferably, the rock mass stress anisotropy coefficient is specifically defined as the coefficient obtained through the maximum principal stress of the rock mass. Minimum principal stress of rock mass and the mean principal stress of the rock mass Calculate the rock mass stress anisotropy coefficient The formula is:

[0025]

[0026] During model construction, a bagging method should be used for sample sampling, with the sampling ratio being a preset proportion of the total sample size. The number of features selected for each decision tree is set to the total number of features. ,in The total number of features is controlled by the purity threshold of the leaf nodes.

[0027] Preferably, the LightGBM gradient boosting regression algorithm is used to train the support scheme determination model, specifically by introducing the coupling coefficient of rock mass stress and displacement as a key input feature, as shown in the formula:

[0028]

[0029] in, The coupling coefficient is... This represents the change in rock mass stress between adjacent data collection periods. This represents the change in rock mass displacement between adjacent data collection periods. Density of the rock mass;

[0030] During the training process of the support scheme determination model, the gradient descent method is used to minimize the loss function, and the formula is:

[0031]

[0032] in, For loss function, The number of training samples. Let i be the actual support parameters for the i-th sample. These are the support parameters predicted by the model; and feature binning is used during model training to divide continuous features into multiple preset intervals, thereby improving the model's ability to fit nonlinear relationships.

[0033] Preferably, the dynamic control mechanism includes a three-level response strategy, specifically: based on the operating conditions of the pressure regulating well, the opening degree of the first-level valve of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group is preset. , , Rock mass stress growth rate threshold ;

[0034] When the condition is determined to be critical, the first-level response is initiated, and the opening of the first-level valve of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group is adjusted to... The secondary valve remains closed, and the initial support thickness of the quick-setting shotcrete is increased by a certain value based on the model prediction.

[0035] When it is determined to be at the instability warning level and the rock mass stress growth rate is less than At that time, the secondary response is initiated, and the opening of the primary valve is adjusted to... The opening of the secondary valve is adjusted to... Furthermore, the spacing between hollow grouting anchor rods was reduced, and the grouting pressure was increased;

[0036] When it is determined to be at the instability warning level and the rock mass stress growth rate is not less than At that time, a three-level response is initiated: the opening of the first-level valve is adjusted to... The opening of the secondary valve is adjusted to... Excavation work was suspended and advanced support was implemented, which adopted pipe roof support.

[0037] Preferably, the step of generating optimal support parameters through the support scheme determination model specifically involves determining the initial support thickness of the quick-setting shotcrete based on the rock mass fracture development rate, using the following formula:

[0038]

[0039] in, The corrected initial support thickness, To determine the initial support thickness predicted by the support scheme model, For correction factor, The rate of rock mass fracture development;

[0040] Based on the rock mass pull-out resistance requirements, the spacing of the hollow grouting anchors and the grouting pressure of the anchor channels are determined using the following formula:

[0041]

[0042] in, For the pull-out resistance of the anchor bolt, The diameter of the anchor rod. This refers to the anchorage length of the anchor bolt. The bond strength between the rock mass and the mortar;

[0043] The grouting volume is calculated based on the rock mass porosity, using the following formula:

[0044]

[0045] in, This refers to the grouting volume for a single anchor bolt. This represents the rock mass volume corresponding to the anchorage section of the anchor bolt. The porosity of the rock mass This is the grouting filling coefficient.

[0046] Preferably, the opening adjustment of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group needs to be coordinated with the fluid pressure in the well, and the pressure control formula is:

[0047]

[0048] in, The target fluid pressure inside the well. This represents the initial fluid pressure inside the well. This is the pressure regulation coefficient. This represents the current maximum stress value of the rock mass;

[0049] During the coordination process, the actual pressure inside the well is collected in real time through pressure sensors. ,when Preset well pressure difference threshold At that time, the opening degree of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group is automatically adjusted.

[0050] Preferably, the incremental training is performed by setting a preset excavation cycle start threshold. Each completed After each excavation cycle, the rock mass dataset from this cycle, along with the corresponding support scheme parameters and stability level determination results, are used to form new training samples. Incremental learning algorithms are then used to update the parameters of the random forest classification model and the LightGBM gradient boosting regression model.

[0051] In the random forest model, incremental updates combine adding new decision trees with retaining the optimal decision tree, and preset an importance threshold for each decision tree. Preserve the importance of features in historical training before scoring The number of new decision trees is equal to the number of initial decision trees. ;

[0052] The incremental update of the LightGBM model adopts a hot start mode, which initializes the new model based on the parameters of the historical model and only performs a small number of rounds of iterative training on the newly added samples.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following technical effects:

[0054] This invention deploys distributed fiber optic sensors around the excavation face to collect data. When the critical level or instability warning level is reached, a dynamic control mechanism is activated. This solves the problems of existing technologies where monitoring and support are disconnected and response is delayed due to reliance on human experience. It reduces the time from warning to support plan generation from more than 8 hours to within 30 minutes, fully meeting the timeliness requirement of "excavation and support as needed" and effectively avoiding the risk of rock mass instability during the delay window.

[0055] This invention generates optimal support parameters such as the initial thickness of quick-setting shotcrete and the spacing of hollow grouting anchors from the support scheme determination model. The parameters can be dynamically adjusted according to the real-time collected rock mass stress and fracture development rate, avoiding the problems of insufficient support for Class V surrounding rock and waste of materials for Class II surrounding rock due to fixed parameters in the existing technology. This improves the matching degree of support strength and reduces the cost of support materials.

[0056] This invention incorporates data into a sample library for incremental model training after each excavation cycle, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies that rely on static data and suffer from accuracy degradation when geological conditions change. Even in scenarios where geological conditions transition from granite to sandstone and shale, it can maintain high model prediction accuracy and ensure the stability control precision throughout the excavation process.

[0057] The technical solution of this invention, which coordinates the regulation of fluid pressure in the well with support parameters, can effectively suppress the problem of fluid pressure seepage along fractures in water-rich pressure regulating wells, and significantly improve the support effect and engineering safety in complex scenarios such as water-rich and fractured surrounding rock.

[0082] Furthermore, the preset distributed optical fiber sensor specifically refers to: a preset sensor deployment depth multiple. Multiple rings of distributed fiber optic sensors are deployed at equal angular intervals along the excavation outline of the surge tank. These sensors simultaneously collect stress values, displacement, and fracture development rates of the rock mass in the excavation area. The depth of each sensor ring is equal to the excavation radius. The distributed fiber optic sensor acquires rock mass strain data using BOTDR technology and calculates stress values ​​using the following formula:

[0083]

[0084] in, This represents the rock mass stress value. The elastic modulus of the rock mass. The rock mass strain values ​​are collected by distributed fiber optic sensors; the displacement is calculated by integrating the strain distribution curve of the fiber optic sensor; and the fracture development rate is determined by the ratio of the stress change gradient to the time difference in adjacent acquisition cycles.

[0085] Furthermore, the method of training the rock mass stability judgment model by fusing the parameter grid optimization method with the random forest algorithm specifically involves: standardizing the feature parameters and rock mass stress anisotropy coefficients in the historical dataset to construct a feature set to be trained, as shown in the formula:

[0086]

[0087] in, Let j be the standardized feature parameter of the i-th sample. Let j be the feature parameter of the original i-th sample. Let be the mean of the j-th feature parameter. Let $\frac{j}{j}$ be the standard deviation of the $j$-th feature parameter.

[0088] The key parameters of the random forest algorithm are optimized using the parametric grid optimization method. The parameter range is set as follows: number of decision trees 50-200, maximum depth of decision trees 5-20 layers, minimum number of samples for node splitting 2-10. The accuracy of 5-fold cross-validation is used as the evaluation index. The optimal parameters are selected by traversing the parameter combinations in the grid.

[0089] A random forest classification model is constructed based on the optimal parameter combination. The model output is the current rock mass stability level. During model training, core influencing features are selected based on feature importance, using the following formula:

The number of features selected for each decision tree is set to the total number of features. ,in The total number of features is controlled by the purity threshold of the leaf nodes.

[0095] Furthermore, the LightGBM gradient boosting regression algorithm is used to train the support scheme determination model, specifically by introducing the coupling coefficient of rock mass stress and displacement as a key input feature, as shown in the formula:

[0096]

[0097] in, The coupling coefficient is... This represents the change in rock mass stress between adjacent data collection periods. This represents the change in rock mass displacement between adjacent data collection periods. Density of the rock mass;

[0098] During the training process of the support scheme determination model, the gradient descent method is used to minimize the loss function, and the formula is:

[0099]

[0100] in, For loss function, The number of training samples. Let i be the actual support parameters for the i-th sample. The support parameters are predicted by the model; and feature binning is used during model training to divide continuous features into multiple preset intervals to improve the model's ability to fit nonlinear relationships. The training iteration rounds are set to 100-150 rounds, and the learning rate is set to 0.05.

[0101] Furthermore, the dynamic control mechanism includes a three-level response strategy, specifically: based on the operating conditions of the pressure regulating well, the opening degree of the first-level valve of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group is preset. , , Rock mass stress growth rate threshold ;

[0102] When the condition is determined to be critical, the first-level response is initiated, and the opening of the first-level valve of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group is adjusted to... The secondary valve remains closed, and the initial support thickness of the quick-setting shotcrete is increased by a certain value based on the model prediction.

[0103] When it is determined to be at the instability warning level and the rock mass stress growth rate is less than At that time, the secondary response is initiated, and the opening of the primary valve is adjusted to... The opening of the secondary valve is adjusted to... Furthermore, the spacing between hollow grouting anchor rods was reduced, and the grouting pressure was increased;

[0104] When it is determined to be at the instability warning level and the rock mass stress growth rate is not less than At that time, a three-level response is initiated: the opening of the first-level valve is adjusted to... The opening of the secondary valve is adjusted to... Excavation work was suspended and advanced support was implemented, which adopted pipe roof support.

[0105] Furthermore, the specific method for generating optimal support parameters through the support scheme determination model is as follows: determining the initial support thickness of the quick-setting shotcrete based on the rock mass fracture development rate, using the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] in, The corrected initial support thickness, To determine the initial support thickness predicted by the support scheme model, For correction factor, The rate of rock mass fracture development;

[0108] Based on the rock mass pull-out resistance requirements, the spacing of the hollow grouting anchors and the grouting pressure of the anchor channels are determined using the following formula:

[0111] The grouting volume is calculated based on the rock mass porosity, using the following formula:

[0112]

[0113] in, This refers to the grouting volume for a single anchor bolt. This represents the rock mass volume corresponding to the anchorage section of the anchor bolt. The porosity of the rock mass This is the grouting filling coefficient.

[0114] Furthermore, the opening adjustment of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group needs to be coordinated with the fluid pressure inside the well. The pressure control formula is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] in, The target fluid pressure inside the well. This represents the initial fluid pressure inside the well. This is the pressure regulation coefficient. This represents the current maximum stress value of the rock mass;

[0117] During the coordination process, the actual pressure inside the well is collected in real time through pressure sensors. ,when Preset well pressure difference threshold At that time, the opening degree of the two-stage pressure regulating valve group is automatically adjusted.

[0118] Furthermore, the specific method of incremental training is as follows: preset the excavation cycle start threshold. Each completed After each excavation cycle, the rock mass dataset from this cycle, along with the corresponding support scheme parameters and stability level determination results, are used to form new training samples. Incremental learning algorithms are then used to update the parameters of the random forest classification model and the LightGBM gradient boosting regression model.

[0119] In the random forest model, incremental updates combine adding new decision trees with retaining the optimal decision tree, and preset an importance threshold for each decision tree. Preserve the importance of features in historical training before scoring The number of new decision trees is equal to the number of initial decision trees. ;

[0120] The incremental update of the LightGBM model adopts a hot start mode, which initializes the new model based on the parameters of the historical model and performs a small number of iterations of training on the newly added samples, reducing training time while ensuring that the model is adapted to the latest geological conditions.

[0121] This embodiment details a rock mass stability control method for surge tank wells with ongoing support during excavation. A rock mass dataset is constructed by pre-setting distributed fiber optic sensors around the excavation face to collect rock mass stress, displacement, and fracture development rates. A historical dataset is then built based on historical engineering characteristic parameters and stability levels. Based on this historical dataset, a stability judgment model is trained at the central control terminal using a parameter grid optimization method combined with a random forest algorithm, and a support scheme determination model is trained using a LightGBM gradient boosting regression algorithm. The rock mass dataset is input into the stability judgment model, which outputs stable, critical, and instability warning levels. A three-level dynamic control mechanism is activated at the critical or instability warning level. Combining the stability level and rock mass data, the support scheme determination model generates support parameters and adjusts the fluid pressure within the well. After the excavation cycle is completed, the data is incorporated into a sample library for incremental training of the two models, enabling adaptive learning and ensuring continuous adaptation to changes in geological conditions. This maintains high judgment accuracy throughout the process, providing strong support for the safety, efficiency, and economy of surge tank well excavation.

[0122] Example 2 describes in detail the experimental process of this method in a surge tank project of a pumped storage power station, as follows:

[0123] like Figure 5 As shown, the experimental surge tank was buried at a depth of 280m, surrounded by Class IV tuff with a fracture density of 9 fractures / m and a groundwater pressure of 0.5MPa. The excavation system adopted a step-type excavation process, with an excavation cycle set at 3m / cycle. It was equipped with a small hydraulic tunneling machine with an excavation rate of 0.8m / h.

[0124] Eight distributed FBG-600 fiber optic sensors were deployed in a 360° ring around the excavation face. The sensors were buried at a depth of 2m and spaced 1.5m apart. They collected data on rock stress, displacement and fracture development rate in real time, and the data was transmitted to the main control system through a fiber optic demodulator.

[0125] The main control system has a built-in random forest stability judgment model and a LightGBM support scheme judgment model trained based on 200 sets of historical engineering data. It is equipped with a quick-setting shotcrete equipment, a hollow grouting anchor drilling rig and an in-well water pressure regulating pump. It can adjust the support parameters and water pressure in real time according to the model output.

[0126] Stress, displacement, and crack rate data were collected every 10 seconds. Support cost data were statistically analyzed for each cycle. One excavation cycle was conducted per day for a three-month experimental test. At the same time, existing methods, such as three-dimensional laser scanning and LightGBM static data method, were designed as control groups in other areas of the project and conducted as control experiments for a three-month period.

[0127]

[0128] As shown in the table above, the average displacement and the average displacement over three months in the area controlled by this method are both lower than those of the other two existing methods. Furthermore, the support cost of this method is 107,500 yuan lower than that of the LightGBM static data method and 172,500 yuan lower than that of the three-dimensional laser scanning method. The total delay time is only 12.5 hours, and the average support strength matching degree is also higher than that of the other two methods. The average accuracy rate of judgment reaches 94%.

[0129] according to Figure 6 It can be seen that the rock mass displacement controlled by this method is generally smaller than that of the other two methods, which proves the reliable control capability of the scheme;

[0130] according to Figure 7 It can be seen that, as geological conditions deteriorate, the cumulative displacement of this method is still controlled at 10.2 mm, and the average change in rock mass displacement is only 1.3 mm, which is much lower than the other two methods, proving the outstanding stability of this scheme in long-term control.

[0131] according to Figure 8 As can be seen, the accuracy of the proposed method remained at 88% in the third month, while the accuracy of the other two methods dropped to 71% and 65% respectively. This proves that the incremental training mechanism of this application effectively resists the accuracy decay caused by geological deterioration and ensures the accuracy of control throughout the process.

[0132] This embodiment details the experimental process of this method in the surge tank engineering of a pumped storage power station. Through one excavation cycle per day for three months, the experiment fully verified the significant advantages of this method in rock mass control, support cost, response time, support strength matching degree and judgment accuracy. It also proved the cost and efficiency advantages, accuracy and versatility advantages, and long-term stability advantages of this method.
