AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, active drainage anti-buoyancy systems for underground structures cannot accurately sense water pressure at different locations in real time. This results in high energy consumption and an inability to work in conjunction with passive anti-buoyancy components after the active drainage system starts and stops, making it unable to effectively cope with extreme weather or sudden water level changes.
By employing a pressure sensor array, an adjustable one-way pressure relief valve, and a cloud platform controller, the water pressure of the underground structure is monitored in real time. Combined with the passive anti-buoyancy bearing capacity, the ratio of buoyancy force to bearing capacity is calculated by linear interpolation, and the opening of the pressure relief valve is dynamically adjusted to achieve joint control of active and passive anti-buoyancy.
This approach achieves the goal of reducing drainage volume while ensuring structural buoyancy safety, reducing energy consumption, and improving the system's response speed and buoyancy resistance.

The pressure sensor array is used to periodically collect water pressure data at different locations in the underground structure foundation and feed it back to the cloud platform controller. The adjustable one-way pressure relief valve is arranged in the pressure limiting well and is used to perform drainage operations; The cloud platform controller is used to receive water pressure data from the seepage pressure sensor array, combine the passive anti-buoyancy bearing capacity of the structure with the buoyancy force experienced by the structure at various locations in the current state, perform joint anti-buoyancy verification, obtain the resistance effect ratio within the underground structure range, and control the opening degree of the adjustable one-way pressure relief valve.
2. The combined active and passive anti-buoyancy system for underground structures as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The cloud platform controller is configured as follows: Using water pressure data from a pressure sensor array, and based on the distance between the calculation point and each sensor in the pressure sensor array, the buoyancy force Sw at each location of the structure under the current state is calculated by linear interpolation. At each calculation point, the passive anti-buoyancy bearing capacity of the structure is taken as Rb=min{Rs,Rw}, where Rs is the location of the calculation point, which is the sum of the self-weight of all the superstructure and the vertical pull-out force provided by the pull-out piles and anti-buoyancy anchors within the adjacent column span, and Rw is the maximum water buoyancy force that the bottom plate of the structure can bear at the calculation point location. When the ratio of Kw to the preset safety factor K is lower than the preset margin F, small-flow drainage is started according to the preset rules.
3. The combined active and passive anti-buoyancy system for underground structures as described in claim 2, characterized in that, When starting the low-flow drainage, the method for determining the opening degree of the adjustable one-way pressure relief valve includes: Within each of the four quadrants surrounding the calculation point, select one pressure-limiting well equipped with an adjustable one-way pressure relief valve that is closest to the calculation point, and obtain four paths to the calculation point with lengths L1 to L4 respectively. The overall opening ratio is calculated as (Fw-1) / (F-1), where Fw=Kw / K; Based on the distance of the path, the opening ratio of the pressure relief valves in the four pressure-limiting wells is determined, i.e., Mi=Li / (L1+L2+L3+L4)×(Fw-1) / (F-1). After the adjustable one-way pressure relief valve is opened, the opening amount is dynamically adjusted in real time according to this calculation logic until Fw≥F.
