Building foundation detection method and system based on settlement data
By analyzing the settlement amount and spatial response relationship of the trough point of building foundation settlement data, the problem of the inability to identify defective piles in pile raft foundations in a timely manner in the existing technology has been solved. This enables early location and damage assessment of defective piles, reduces the risk of misjudgment, and provides effective maintenance measures.

AI Technical Summary
Existing building foundation testing methods cannot promptly identify progressive damage to defective piles in pile-raft foundations, leading to potential hidden risks. Existing testing methods cannot detect progressive damage inside the pile foundation when macroscopic indicators are still within the allowable range, and it is not discovered until the load transfer exceeds the bearing limit of adjacent piles.
By using a settlement data-based detection method, the settlement amount at the trough of the settlement time series is extracted, the non-monotonic fluctuation characteristics are determined, the spatial response relationship caused by load transfer is established, the location of defective piles is determined by combining geometric matching conditions, and the degree of progressive penetration damage is assessed.
It enables early identification and location of the integrity status of pile foundations inside the ground, reduces the possibility of misjudgment, provides a basis for targeted maintenance decisions, is suitable for long-term monitoring during operation, and has minimal construction impact and low cost.
