Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of computer technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for predicting full-field foundation settlement under heavy rainfall scenarios. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, under conditions of heavy rainfall, rainwater infiltration significantly alters the pore water pressure distribution in the foundation soil, reducing the effective stress of the foundation and thus causing uneven settlement. In severe cases, this can lead to cracking, tilting, or even failure of the superstructure. For foundation settlement prediction, the common approach is to rely on settlement plates, settlement sensors, or GNSS equipment to obtain settlement information at a finite number of discrete points in the foundation, and then use numerical simulation and data-driven methods for prediction.

[0003] However, when using the above method to predict foundation settlement, the following technical problems often arise:

[0004] Detection equipment can only acquire settlement information at a limited number of discrete points in the foundation, making it difficult to directly obtain the continuous settlement field distribution across the entire foundation area. Numerical simulation methods involve complex model construction, high computational costs, and are highly sensitive to parameter accuracy, making them unsuitable for meeting the engineering requirements for real-time prediction under heavy rainfall conditions. Data-driven prediction methods lack physical constraints, and with a limited number of monitoring points, the prediction results are unstable and cannot meet the reliability requirements of engineering safety assessments, hindering project progress under heavy rainfall conditions and causing significant losses of engineering resources.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the inventive concept, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The summary portion of this disclosure is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description portion. This summary portion is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0007] This disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for predicting full-field foundation settlement under heavy rainfall scenarios, along with electronic equipment and computer-readable media, to solve one or more of the technical problems mentioned in the background section above.

[0008] In a first aspect, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for predicting full-field foundation settlement under heavy rainfall scenarios, including: acquiring rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data, wherein the rainfall parameter data is data during a heavy rainfall process, and the real-time settlement data is data collected from a limited number of monitoring points within the foundation; establishing a foundation computational domain with a spatial coordinate system and a time dimension based on the rainfall parameter data and the real-time settlement data; establishing a physical information neural network model characterizing the foundation response based on the foundation computational domain, the rainfall parameter data, and the real-time settlement data; and consolidating the foundation settlement based on seepage. The mechanism involves determining the mechanical equilibrium constraints and pore pressure diffusion constraints, as well as the physical constraint residuals based on physical collocation points, where the physical collocation points are selected within the aforementioned foundation computational domain. A joint loss function is constructed based on the fitting error of the settlement data from the limited monitoring points and the aforementioned physical constraint residuals. The aforementioned physical information neural network model is then trained to obtain the trained model. In response to receiving real-time settlement data and real-time rainfall parameters from the limited monitoring points, the trained model is invoked for forward inference to obtain the predicted settlement values ​​for the aforementioned foundation computational domain, thus forming the overall foundation settlement distribution.

[0009] Secondly, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a foundation settlement prediction device under heavy rainfall scenarios, comprising: a data acquisition unit configured to acquire rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data, wherein the rainfall parameter data is data during a heavy rainfall process, and the real-time settlement data is data collected from a limited number of monitoring points within the foundation; a computational domain establishment unit configured to establish a foundation computational domain with a spatial coordinate system and a time dimension based on the rainfall parameter data and the real-time settlement data; a model establishment unit configured to establish a physical information neural network model characterizing the foundation response based on the foundation computational domain, the rainfall parameter data, and the real-time settlement data; and a constraint determination unit configured to... Based on the mechanism of foundation settlement and seepage consolidation, mechanical equilibrium constraints and pore pressure diffusion constraints are determined, and physical constraint residuals are determined based on physical collocation points, wherein the aforementioned physical collocation points are selected in the aforementioned foundation calculation domain; the model training unit is configured to construct a joint loss function based on the fitting error of the settlement data of the aforementioned limited monitoring points and the aforementioned physical constraint residuals, and to train the aforementioned physical information neural network model to obtain the trained model; the settlement prediction unit is configured to, in response to receiving the real-time settlement data and real-time rainfall parameters of the aforementioned limited monitoring points, call the aforementioned trained model to perform forward inference to obtain the settlement prediction value of the aforementioned foundation calculation domain, so as to form the full field distribution of foundation settlement.

[0010] Thirdly, some embodiments of this disclosure provide an electronic device, including: one or more processors; and a storage device having one or more programs stored thereon, such that when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the method as described in any implementation of the first aspect.

[0011] Fourthly, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the program, when executed by a processor, implements the method as described in any implementation of the first aspect.

[0012] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: The method for predicting full-field settlement of foundations under heavy rainfall scenarios, as described in some embodiments of this disclosure, can quickly predict full-field settlement under limited monitoring point conditions, reducing the safety assessment time for foundations and structures under heavy rainfall conditions. Specifically, common detection equipment can only acquire settlement information at a limited number of discrete points in the foundation, making it difficult to directly obtain the continuous settlement field distribution of the entire foundation area. Numerical simulation methods have high computational costs, and data-driven methods lack physical constraints, resulting in long prediction times. Based on this, the method for predicting full-field settlement of foundations under heavy rainfall scenarios, as described in some embodiments of this disclosure, firstly acquires rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data. The rainfall parameter data is data collected during heavy rainfall, and the real-time settlement data is data collected from a limited number of monitoring points within the foundation. This provides a real-time input data foundation, ensuring that in actual heavy rainfall scenarios, such as urban floods or mountain torrential rain events, changes in rainfall intensity and local settlement signals can be captured in a timely manner, avoiding structural risk assessment errors caused by delays. Secondly, based on the rainfall parameter data and the real-time settlement data, a foundation computational domain with a spatial coordinate system and a time dimension is established. Therefore, a complete spatiotemporal prediction range is defined, enabling continuous coverage of the entire area in practical engineering projects such as high-rise building foundations or bridge foundation monitoring. This compensates for the deficiency of limited monitoring points in reflecting the overall distribution and improves the comprehensiveness of flood season safety early warning. Next, based on the foundation calculation domain, the rainfall parameter data, and the real-time settlement data, a physical information neural network model characterizing the foundation response is established. This achieves intelligent mapping from data to the settlement field, efficiently integrating rainfall and settlement information, reducing the dependence of traditional methods on geological parameters, and improving prediction adaptability under complex geological conditions. Then, based on the foundation settlement and seepage consolidation mechanism, mechanical equilibrium constraints and pore pressure diffusion constraints are determined, and physical constraint residuals are determined based on physical points selected within the foundation calculation domain. This converts the settlement prediction results into actual dimensions, ensuring that the prediction results conform to physical laws. This avoids non-physical biases generated by purely data-driven methods, improves the accuracy of predicting uneven settlement, and prevents cracking or tilting of the foundation structure. Next, based on the fitting error of the settlement data from the limited monitoring points and the residuals of the physical constraints, a joint loss function is constructed, and the aforementioned physical information neural network model is trained to obtain the trained model. This improves generalization ability under limited data, ensures prediction stability under different rainfall intensities, and reduces uncertainty in engineering decisions. Finally, in response to receiving real-time settlement data and real-time rainfall parameters from the limited monitoring points, the trained model is invoked for forward inference to obtain the predicted settlement values ​​for the foundation computational domain, thus forming the overall distribution of foundation settlement.In summary, by fusing monitoring data with physical constraints through a physical information neural network, rapid prediction without iteration can be achieved in actual heavy rainfall scenarios. This reduces the safety assessment time for foundations and structures under heavy rainfall conditions, thereby improving the real-time performance and reliability of engineering safety assessments and avoiding sudden losses caused by disasters.

[0023] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 The flowchart 100 illustrates some embodiments of the method for predicting full-field foundation settlement under heavy rainfall scenarios according to the present disclosure. This method for predicting full-field foundation settlement under heavy rainfall scenarios includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 101: Obtain rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data.

[0026] In some embodiments, the execution entity (e.g., electronic device) of the above-described method for predicting full-field foundation settlement under heavy rainfall scenarios can be hardware or software. When the computing device is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed cluster composed of multiple servers or terminal devices, or as a single server or a single terminal device. When the computing device is software, it can be installed in the hardware devices listed above. It can be implemented as multiple software programs or software modules to provide distributed services, or as a single software program or software module. No specific limitations are made here.

[0027] In some embodiments, the aforementioned implementing entity can acquire rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data, wherein the rainfall parameter data is data from a heavy rainfall event, and the real-time settlement data is data collected from a limited number of monitoring points within the foundation. These limited monitoring points can be locations where a limited number of sensors are deployed in the actual foundation engineering project. As an example, the rainfall parameter data can be quantitative data related to rainfall during a heavy rainfall event. In practice, the rainfall parameter data can be acquired through meteorological monitoring equipment (e.g., rain gauges, weather stations). The real-time settlement data can be settlement observations collected in real-time by monitoring devices deployed within the foundation. This real-time settlement data can be collected through settlement plates, settlement sensors, or GNSS equipment.

[0028] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the rainfall parameter data includes one or more of rainfall intensity, cumulative rainfall, and rainfall duration. The rainfall intensity can be the rainfall amount per unit time. The cumulative rainfall can be the total rainfall from the start of rainfall to a certain moment. The rainfall duration can be the length of time elapsed from the start of rainfall to the current moment. Optionally, in different embodiments, one or any combination of the above parameters can be selected as model input according to engineering needs and data availability.

[0029] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the aforementioned real-time settlement data is vertical settlement data, wherein the aforementioned vertical settlement data is acquired in real time by a settlement monitoring device.

[0030] Step 102: Based on rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data, establish a spatial coordinate system and a ground calculation domain with a time dimension.

[0031] In some embodiments, the aforementioned executing entity can establish a foundation calculation domain with a spatial coordinate system and a time dimension based on the aforementioned rainfall parameter data and the aforementioned real-time settlement data. The foundation calculation domain can be a calculation area containing spatial coordinates (e.g., two-dimensional or three-dimensional coordinates) and a time dimension. As an example, a calculation domain can be constructed based on the spatial extent of the engineering foundation, and the rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data can be mapped into this domain.

[0032] Step 103: Based on the foundation computational domain, rainfall parameter data, and real-time settlement data, establish a physical information neural network model characterizing the foundation response.

[0033] In some embodiments, the aforementioned execution entity may establish a physical information neural network model characterizing the foundation response based on the aforementioned foundation computing domain, the aforementioned rainfall parameter data, and the aforementioned real-time settlement data.

[0034] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the aforementioned physical information neural network model is a neural network model that takes data representing spatial coordinates, time, and rainfall parameters as input and outputs data representing the settlement field and pore water pressure field. The aforementioned physical information neural network model can employ a multi-layer feedforward structure (fully connected layers). The input to the aforementioned physical information neural network model can be data samples representing spatial coordinates, time, and rainfall parameters. The output of the aforementioned physical information neural network model can be data samples representing the vertical settlement of the foundation and pore water pressure.

[0035] As an example, the above rainfall parameter data can be expressed in the following form: Settlement monitoring points within the foundation can be... . No. The coordinates of each monitoring point can be .exist The observation value at time can be Then the real-time data sample can be .

[0036] In practice, the input to the above-mentioned physical information neural network model can be... The output of the aforementioned physical information neural network model can be the vertical settlement of the foundation. and pore pressure The aforementioned pore water pressure can be used for physical constraint calculations, allowing for calculations without direct monitoring.

[0037] Optionally, in response to the model entering training and real-time inference, the preprocessing of input and observation data can be carried out in one of the following ways: outlier handling, missing data handling, and variable normalization. The outlier handling method can be a threshold filtering or median filtering of the settlement observation sequence to remove obvious jumps. The missing data handling method can be a method that, in response to a missing data point at a certain time, uses linear interpolation between adjacent time points to fill in the missing data. The variable normalization method can be a method of normalizing the input variables.

[0038] Step 104: Based on the foundation settlement and seepage consolidation mechanism, determine the mechanical equilibrium constraints and pore pressure diffusion constraints, and based on the physical collocation, determine the physical constraint residuals.

[0039] In some embodiments, the aforementioned execution entity can determine mechanical equilibrium constraints and pore pressure diffusion constraints based on the foundation settlement and seepage consolidation mechanism, and determine physical constraint residuals based on physical collocation points, wherein the aforementioned physical collocation points are selected within the aforementioned foundation calculation domain. As an example, several physical collocation points are sampled within the calculation domain (e.g., uniform or random sampling), and the residuals are calculated using automatic differentiation. The aforementioned foundation settlement and seepage consolidation mechanism can be a fundamental principle in soil mechanics describing the vertical displacement (settlement) of foundation soil under load (e.g., self-weight, rainfall, etc.) and the volume change (consolidation) of soil due to pore water pressure dissipation. This fundamental principle can include the effective stress principle and Darcy's law. The aforementioned mechanical equilibrium constraints can be physical constraints imposed on the settlement field predicted by the neural network according to mechanical equilibrium equations (e.g., stress equilibrium conditions or the geometric relationship between strain and displacement). The aforementioned pore pressure diffusion constraints can be physical constraints imposed on the pore water pressure field predicted by the neural network by the governing equations of pore water pressure changing with time. The aforementioned physical collocation points can be discrete points randomly or uniformly selected within the foundation calculation domain. The aforementioned discrete points can include spatial coordinates and temporal coordinates. The aforementioned physical constraint residuals can be the difference between the left and right sides of the physical control equations after substituting the settlement and pore pressure output by the neural network into the physical control equations at the physical collocation points. For example, the aforementioned physical constraint residuals can be the non-zero value on the left side of the mechanical equilibrium equations or the difference between the left and right sides of the pore pressure diffusion equations.

[0040] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the aforementioned mechanical equilibrium constraints are used to constrain the coupling relationship between the settlement field and the pore water pressure field, and the aforementioned pore pressure diffusion constraints are used to constrain the diffusion evolution of the pore water pressure field over time, as well as the correlation between the pore water pressure field and rainfall parameters. The aforementioned mechanical equilibrium constraints can be... The aforementioned pore pressure diffusion constraint can be... Among them, the above These can be coefficients related to soil properties. (The above...) These can be parameters characterizing the foundation displacement field. (The above...) This can be a parameter characterizing pore pressure. (The above...) This could be the partial derivative of pore water pressure with respect to time. (The above...) This can be the diffusion coefficient. The diffusion coefficient mentioned above is related to the permeability and compressibility of the soil. The above... It can be the Laplace operator for pore water pressure. (The above...) This can be a coefficient characterizing the impact of rainfall. (The above...) This can be a time function of rainfall parameters (e.g., rainfall intensity or cumulative rainfall). The above. It can be a time parameter.

[0041] Step 105: Based on the fitting error and physical constraint residual of the settlement data from limited monitoring points, construct a joint loss function and train the physical information neural network model to obtain the trained model.

[0042] In some embodiments, the execution entity can construct a joint loss function based on the fitting error of the settlement data from the limited monitoring points and the physical constraint residuals, and train the physical information neural network model to obtain the trained model. The joint loss function can be a loss function consisting of a weighted sum of the monitoring data loss and the physical constraint residuals. The monitoring data loss can be the sum of squared errors between the settlement value predicted by the neural network and the measured settlement value.

[0043] As an example, the aforementioned monitoring data loss could be The aforementioned physical constraint residual loss can be... The total loss function can then be... Among them, the above This could be a loss function for monitoring data. (The above...) This can be used to measure the error between model-predicted settlement and measured settlement. (The above...) It can be the index value of the monitoring point (e.g., =1, 2, ..., , (This could be the total number of monitoring points). The above. It can be the index value of the time step (e.g., =1, 2, ..., , (This could be the total number of monitoring times). The above. It can be the first The spatial coordinates (horizontal and vertical) of each monitoring point. (The above...) It can be the first Each monitoring point. (The above) This could be a settlement value predicted by a neural network. (The above...) It can be the first Each monitoring point is at The measured settlement value at time [time]. The above. This could be the physical residual loss function. (The above...) This can be used to measure the degree to which the model output violates the governing equations at physical collocation points. The above... (Subscript) can be a physical coordinate index (e.g., =1, 2, ..., , (This could be the total number of monitoring points). The above. It can be the first The spatial coordinates and time of each physical point. (The above...) This could be a settlement value predicted by a neural network. (The above...) This could be the pore water pressure value predicted by a neural network. (The above...) These can be coefficients in mechanical equilibrium constraints. (The above...) It can be used to reflect the degree of influence of pore water pressure on the settlement field. The above... This could be the partial derivative of pore water pressure with respect to time. (The above...) This can be the pore pressure diffusion coefficient. The aforementioned diffusion coefficient is related to the permeability and compressibility of the soil. This can be a coefficient characterizing the impact of rainfall. (The above...) It can be in Rainfall parameters at any given time. (Above) This could be a joint total loss function. (The above...) It can be used to train neural networks. (The above...) It can be a weighting coefficient. (The above) It can be used to balance the fitting of monitoring data with physical consistency constraints.

[0044] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the coefficients in the aforementioned mechanical equilibrium constraints and pore pressure diffusion constraints are preset constants, wherein the preset constants are constants determined by normalization based on the foundation scale, time scale, and dimensions of rainfall parameters; or, the aforementioned coefficients are coefficients obtained by the joint inversion of the parameters to be estimated from monitoring data and physical constraints during the optimization process of the aforementioned joint loss function; the aforementioned physical constraint residuals are determined by automatic differentiation at the aforementioned physical collocation points, wherein the aforementioned physical constraint residuals include mechanical equilibrium constraint residuals and pore pressure diffusion constraint residuals.

[0045] Step 106: In response to receiving real-time settlement data and real-time rainfall parameters from a limited number of monitoring points, the trained model is invoked to perform forward inference to obtain the settlement prediction value of the foundation computational domain, so as to form the full-field distribution of foundation settlement.

[0046] In some embodiments, the execution entity may, in response to receiving real-time settlement data and real-time rainfall parameters from the limited monitoring points, invoke the trained model to perform forward inference to obtain the predicted settlement value of the foundation computational domain, thereby forming a full-field distribution of foundation settlement. The real-time rainfall parameters may be rainfall characteristic data acquired in real-time during heavy rainfall. The real-time settlement data may be vertical displacement data collected in real-time by settlement monitoring devices deployed within the foundation during heavy rainfall. The predicted settlement value may be the vertical settlement value output by the model. The full-field distribution of foundation settlement may be a continuous distribution field composed of settlement values ​​at various spatial locations (full field) within the foundation computational domain.

[0047] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, the above-mentioned full-field distribution of foundation settlement includes a preset grid point settlement value table, settlement profile data, and settlement contour line data.

[0048] Optionally, after model training is complete, the system proceeds to the real-time prediction phase in response to a new time frame. Receive real-time settlement data and real-time rainfall parameters The entire settlement can be obtained by performing forward inference from a neural network without the need for iterative solutions using traditional numerical models. First, a prediction grid can be established. For example, preset grid points within the computational threshold could be... The above. This could be a set of predicted grid points. For example, a predefined set of spatial locations (grid points) within the foundation computational domain, used to output the predicted total settlement values. This could be the horizontal coordinates of the predicted grid points (e.g., coordinates along the transverse direction of the foundation). The above. This can be the predicted vertical coordinates (depth or elevation) of the grid points. In response to performing forward and backward inference, the inference formula can be... The above. It can be the trained model in At this point, the current time is The predicted settlement value. The above. (Superscript) can indicate a prediction result. The above It can be the forward inference of a trained model, with spatial coordinates as input. ,time and rainfall parameters The settlement value at that time. The above. It can represent the current moment, the first... At each point in time. The above. This could mean performing the aforementioned forward inference on each grid point of the predicted grid points.

[0049] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: The method for predicting full-field settlement of foundations under heavy rainfall scenarios, as described in some embodiments of this disclosure, can quickly predict full-field settlement under limited monitoring point conditions, reducing the safety assessment time for foundations and structures under heavy rainfall conditions. Specifically, common detection equipment can only acquire settlement information at a limited number of discrete points in the foundation, making it difficult to directly obtain the continuous settlement field distribution of the entire foundation area. Numerical simulation methods have high computational costs, and data-driven methods lack physical constraints, resulting in long prediction times. Based on this, the method for predicting full-field settlement of foundations under heavy rainfall scenarios, as described in some embodiments of this disclosure, firstly acquires rainfall parameter data and real-time settlement data. The rainfall parameter data is data collected during heavy rainfall, and the real-time settlement data is data collected from a limited number of monitoring points within the foundation. This provides a real-time input data foundation, ensuring that in actual heavy rainfall scenarios, such as urban floods or mountain torrential rain events, changes in rainfall intensity and local settlement signals can be captured in a timely manner, avoiding structural risk assessment errors caused by delays. Secondly, based on the rainfall parameter data and the real-time settlement data, a foundation computational domain with a spatial coordinate system and a time dimension is established. Therefore, a complete spatiotemporal prediction range is defined, enabling continuous coverage of the entire area in practical engineering projects such as high-rise building foundations or bridge foundation monitoring. This compensates for the inability of limited monitoring points to reflect the overall distribution and improves the comprehensiveness of flood season safety early warnings. Next, based on the aforementioned foundation calculation domain, rainfall parameter data, and real-time settlement data, a physical information neural network model characterizing foundation response is established. This achieves intelligent mapping from data to the settlement field, efficiently integrating rainfall and settlement information, reducing the dependence of traditional methods on geological parameters, and improving prediction adaptability under complex geological conditions. Then, based on the foundation settlement and seepage consolidation mechanism, mechanical equilibrium constraints and pore pressure diffusion constraints are determined, and physical constraint residuals are determined based on physical points selected within the aforementioned foundation calculation domain. This converts the settlement prediction results into actual dimensions, ensuring that the prediction results conform to physical laws. This avoids non-physical biases generated by purely data-driven methods, improves the accuracy of predicting uneven settlement, and prevents cracking or tilting of foundation structures. Next, based on the fitting error of the settlement data from the limited monitoring points and the residuals of the physical constraints, a joint loss function is constructed, and the aforementioned physical information neural network model is trained to obtain the trained model. This improves generalization ability under limited data, ensures prediction stability under different rainfall intensities, and reduces uncertainty in engineering decisions. Finally, in response to receiving real-time settlement data and real-time rainfall parameters from the limited monitoring points, the trained model is invoked for forward inference to obtain the predicted settlement values ​​for the foundation computational domain, thus forming the overall distribution of foundation settlement.In summary, by fusing monitoring data with physical constraints through a physical information neural network, rapid prediction without iteration can be achieved in actual heavy rainfall scenarios. This reduces the safety assessment time for foundations and structures under heavy rainfall conditions, thereby improving the real-time performance and reliability of engineering safety assessments and avoiding sudden losses caused by disasters.
