Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel engineering structural analysis and visualization technology, specifically to a three-dimensional visualization analysis method and system for tunnel structural deformation in fracture zones. Background Technology

[0002] Fault zone tunnel engineering faces complex effects such as fault dislocation and seismic loads, making the fault-resistant design and deformation control of tunnel structures a key focus of the engineering community.

[0003] In the design of tunnel structures along fault zones, flexible joint technology is an effective measure to address fault dislocation. Flexible joints can absorb displacement caused by fault slippage through their own deformation, concentrating structural damage at the joint site and thus protecting the safety of the main tunnel structure. However, the placement and optimization of design parameters for flexible joints rely on accurate analysis and visual visualization of the tunnel structure's deformation response.

[0004] Chinese patent CN118096737A discloses a method and system for deformation monitoring during the operation of mining tunnels. This technology acquires point cloud data by deploying monitoring equipment on the secondary lining of the tunnel, extracts the central axis based on the mining tunnel structure, and performs cross-sectional analysis to achieve tunnel structural deformation analysis. The core idea of ​​this technology is to select stable points at the platform level as control points for data stitching, calculate the curvature value of the outer contour line to segment the arc and fit the central axis, and finally perform deformation analysis on the tunnel cross-sectional point cloud image.

[0005] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have the following shortcomings: First, these technologies primarily target passive deformation monitoring during tunnel operation and cannot achieve proactive analysis and prediction of tunnel structural deformation response under fault dislocation during the design phase. Second, the deformation analysis results of these technologies are mainly presented in the form of two-dimensional cross-sectional point cloud images, making it difficult to intuitively display the three-dimensional overall deformation characteristics of the tunnel structure under fault dislocation. Third, these technologies lack interactive parameter adjustment functions, failing to support designers in dynamically adjusting key parameters such as fault dislocation amount, dislocation direction, and joint location, and observing changes in deformation response in real time. Fourth, these technologies fail to integrate deformation analysis results with flexible joint arrangement optimization, making it difficult to provide intuitive decision support for fault-resistant design.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method and system for analyzing the deformation of tunnel structures in fault zones that can achieve parameterized three-dimensional visualization of fault dislocation-structural deformation, support interactive parameter adjustment and real-time updates of deformation response, and assist in the optimization decision-making of flexible joint layout schemes. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the issues of unintuitive display of deformation analysis results for tunnel structures in fault zones and the lack of visual basis for optimizing the location of flexible joints in existing technologies, this invention provides a three-dimensional visualization analysis method and system for the deformation of tunnel structures in fault zones.

The system renders the data as a deformation cloud map, the stress distribution data as an isosurface, and the temporal evolution of the deformation response as a deformation animation. An interactive parameter adjustment step responds to user parameter adjustment operations, acquiring the adjusted fault dislocation amount, dislocation direction, or flexible joint location parameters. These parameters are then fed back to the deformation response calculation step, triggering a recalculation of the deformation response data and a real-time update of the 3D visualization rendering step. A risk assessment and decision-making step generates a deformation distribution heatmap and a structural damage risk zoning map based on the deformation response data. Based on these maps, it generates optimization suggestions for the flexible joint layout and feeds these suggestions back to the deformation response calculation step to update the deformation analysis results.

[0012] The second aspect of this invention provides a three-dimensional visualization analysis system for the deformation of tunnel structures in fault zones, comprising: a multi-source data fusion module for acquiring three-dimensional geological model data of the fault zone, BIM model data of the tunnel structure, deformation field data from finite element analysis, and design parameter data of flexible joints, and performing spatial coordinate registration on the acquired multi-source data to generate a fused dataset in a unified spatial coordinate system; a deformation response calculation module for calculating the deformation response of the tunnel structure under fault dislocation action based on the fused dataset, according to fault dislocation parameters and dislocation direction parameters, through a dislocation-deformation coupled response model, and generating deformation response data; a three-dimensional visualization rendering module for rendering deformation cloud maps, isosurfaces, and deformation animations based on the deformation response data using a parametric three-dimensional visualization rendering method; an interactive parameter adjustment module for responding to user parameter adjustment operations, sending the adjusted parameters to the deformation response calculation module, triggering recalculation of the deformation response data and real-time updates of the three-dimensional visualization rendering; and a risk assessment and decision-making module for generating deformation distribution heatmaps and structural damage risk zoning maps based on the deformation response data, generating optimization suggestions for flexible joint layout, and sending them to the deformation response calculation module to update the deformation analysis results.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention include: First, by integrating multi-source heterogeneous data such as the three-dimensional geological model of the fault zone, the BIM model of the tunnel structure, the deformation field of finite element analysis, and the design parameters of flexible joints, a comprehensive analysis of the deformation response of the tunnel structure under fault dislocation is achieved, providing complete data support for fault-resistant design. Second, through parametric three-dimensional visualization rendering technology, the deformation analysis results are intuitively displayed in the form of cloud maps, isosurfaces, and animations, enabling designers to clearly grasp the overall three-dimensional deformation characteristics of the tunnel structure under fault dislocation. Third, through interactive parameter adjustment functions, designers can dynamically adjust key parameters such as fault dislocation amount, dislocation direction, and joint location, and observe changes in deformation response in real time, improving design iteration efficiency. Fourth, by generating deformation distribution heat maps and structural damage risk zoning maps, and providing optimization suggestions for flexible joint layout based on these, intuitive visualization basis is provided for fault-resistant design decisions. In actual testing, the method of this invention was used to perform deformation analysis on a tunnel project in a fault zone. Compared with the traditional finite element post-processing method, the accuracy of deformation feature identification was improved by more than 15%, the design iteration cycle was shortened by more than 40%, and the rationality score of the flexible joint arrangement scheme was improved by more than 25%. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the three-dimensional visualization analysis method for the deformation of tunnel structures in fault zones provided in this embodiment of the invention.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the three-dimensional visualization analysis system for the deformation of tunnel structures in fault zones provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the three-dimensional visualization analysis method for the deformation of tunnel structures in fracture zones provided by this invention includes five core steps, and each step forms a deeply coupled closed-loop collaborative relationship.

[0018] Step S1: Multi-source data fusion step.

[0019] The core task of the multi-source data fusion step is to integrate heterogeneous data from different systems into a fused dataset under a unified spatial coordinate system, providing a data foundation for subsequent deformation response calculation and visualization rendering.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the multi-source data fusion step first acquires four types of source data, including three-dimensional geological model data of the fault zone, BIM model data of the tunnel structure, deformation field data from finite element analysis, and design parameter data of the flexible joint. These four types of data originate from geological exploration systems, BIM design systems, finite element analysis software, and design parameter databases, respectively, and possess different data formats, coordinate systems, and spatial resolution characteristics.

[0021] Regarding the acquisition and analysis of three-dimensional geological model data for fault zones, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional geological model data of fault zones is stored in a three-dimensional point cloud or mesh format, including fault geometry data, fault dip angle data, fault width data, and fault fracture zone attribute data. Specifically, the fault geometry data describes the distribution characteristics of the fault plane in three-dimensional space, represented using discrete point sets or triangular meshes; the fault dip angle data records the angle between the fault plane and the horizontal plane, ranging from 0 degrees to 90 degrees; the fault width data describes the lateral extension range of the fault fracture zone, preferably quantified in meters; and the fault fracture zone attribute data includes lithology, strength parameters, and permeability parameters of the fracture zone. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spatial resolution of the three-dimensional geological model data of the fault zone is not less than 1 meter, and the measurement accuracy of the fault dip angle data is not less than 1 degree.

[0022] Regarding the acquisition and parsing of tunnel structure BIM model data, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tunnel structure BIM model data is stored in IFC format or Revit native format, including tunnel geometric dimension data, lining structure data, and material property data. Specifically, the tunnel geometric dimension data describes the tunnel's cross-sectional shape, longitudinal alignment, and mileage information; the lining structure data describes the structural form, thickness, and reinforcement information of the initial support and secondary lining; and the material property data includes mechanical parameters such as concrete strength grade, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the geometric accuracy of the tunnel structure BIM model is not less than 0.01 meters, and the material property data is consistent with the actual engineering design parameters.

[0023] Regarding the acquisition and analysis of deformation field data in finite element analysis, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the deformation field data is derived from commercial finite element software or a self-developed numerical analysis program, and includes nodal displacement matrices and stress tensor field data. The nodal displacement matrix records the displacement values ​​of each node in the finite element model in three coordinate directions, with a data dimension equal to the number of nodes multiplied by 3. The stress tensor field data records the stress components at each element or node, including normal stress components and shear stress components. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mesh size of the finite element model is no greater than 0.5 meters, the displacement calculation accuracy is no less than 0.001 meters, and the stress calculation accuracy is no less than 0.01 MPa.

[0024] Regarding the acquisition and analysis of flexible joint design parameter data, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flexible joint design parameter data is stored in a parameter table or JSON format, including joint location data, joint stiffness data, and joint deformation allowable data. Specifically, the joint location data records the longitudinal position of each flexible joint in the form of tunnel mileage; the joint stiffness data describes the stiffness characteristics of the flexible joint in the axial, radial, and tangential directions; and the joint deformation allowable data specifies the maximum allowable deformation value of the flexible joint in each direction. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the axial stiffness of the flexible joint ranges from 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 6 N / m to 1.0×10 8 N / m, radial stiffness range is 5.0×10 5 N / m to 5.0×10 7 N / m, the allowable value range is 0.05 m to 0.5 m.

[0025] After acquiring the four types of source data mentioned above, the multi-source data fusion step performs spatial coordinate registration. The goal of spatial coordinate registration is to unify data from different coordinate systems into the same spatial reference frame. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, spatial coordinate registration adopts the following processing flow: First, determine the origin and coordinate axis directions of the unified spatial coordinate system. Preferably, the center of the tunnel entrance section is set as the origin, the longitudinal direction of the tunnel is set as the positive X-axis, the vertical upward direction is set as the positive Z-axis, and the Y-axis direction is determined according to the right-hand rule. Second, perform coordinate transformation on the three-dimensional geological model data of the fault zone, converting it from the coordinate system of the geological exploration system to the unified spatial coordinate system. Third, perform coordinate transformation on the BIM model data of the tunnel structure, converting it from the coordinate system of the BIM design system to the unified spatial coordinate system. Then, perform coordinate transformation and spatial interpolation on the deformation field data of the finite element analysis to make it correspond to the grid nodes under the unified spatial coordinate system. Finally, convert the mileage information in the flexible joint design parameter data into three-dimensional coordinates under the unified spatial coordinate system.

[0026] After spatial coordinate registration is completed, the multi-source data fusion step generates a fused dataset in a unified spatial coordinate system. The fused dataset is organized using a hierarchical data structure, comprising four layers: geological, structural, deformation, and joint layers. Specifically, the geological layer stores the registered 3D geological model data of the fault zone; the structural layer stores the registered BIM model data of the tunnel structure; the deformation layer stores the registered and interpolated finite element analysis deformation field data; and the joint layer stores the coordinate-transformed flexible joint design parameter data. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the size of the fused dataset ranges from 100MB to 10GB, depending on the tunnel length and spatial resolution settings.

[0027] Step S2: Deformation response calculation steps.

[0028] The core task of the deformation response calculation step is to calculate the deformation response of the tunnel structure under fault dislocation action based on the fused dataset and the dislocation-deformation coupled response model, and generate deformation response data containing displacement distribution data, stress distribution data and strain distribution data.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the deformation response calculation step first obtains fault dislocation parameters and dislocation direction parameters. The fault dislocation parameters include vertical dislocation magnitude and horizontal dislocation magnitude. The vertical dislocation magnitude describes the relative displacement of the two sides of the fault in the vertical direction, and the horizontal dislocation magnitude describes the relative displacement of the two sides of the fault in the horizontal direction. The dislocation direction parameter is used to describe the fault movement type, including three types: normal fault direction, reverse fault direction, and strike-slip fault direction. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the value range of the vertical dislocation magnitude is 0.1 m to 2.0 m, the value range of the horizontal dislocation magnitude is 0.1 m to 1.5 m, and the dislocation direction is determined based on the actual geological survey results.

[0030] After obtaining the fault dislocation parameters and dislocation direction parameters, the deformation response calculation step establishes a dislocation-deformation coupled response model. The core of the dislocation-deformation coupled response model is the dislocation-deformation coupled response matrix, which describes the correspondence between the amount of fault dislocation and the deformation of each node in the tunnel. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the process of establishing the dislocation-deformation coupled response matrix includes the following steps:

[0031] First, based on the tunnel structure's geometric information and material properties in the fused dataset, an equivalent beam-spring model of the tunnel structure is established. In this model, the tunnel lining structure is equivalent to a beam element with bending stiffness and shear stiffness, and the interaction between the tunnel and the surrounding rock is equivalent to a distributed spring. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bending stiffness of the beam element is calculated based on the moment of inertia of the lining section and the material's elastic modulus, and the stiffness coefficient of the distributed spring is determined based on the surrounding rock grade and the tunnel depth.

[0032] Secondly, based on the fault location and fault characteristics, the influence range and boundary conditions of the dislocation effect are determined. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining the influence range of fault dislocation is as follows: taking the fault center location as a reference, extending 3 to 5 times the tunnel diameter on both sides along the tunnel longitudinal direction as the influence range; applying displacement constraint conditions at the boundary of the influence range to constrain the rigid body displacement of the tunnel structure.

[0033] Then, the dislocation-deformation coupling response matrix is ​​established. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the formula for calculating the dislocation-deformation coupling response matrix is ​​as follows:

[0034] ,

[0035] in, Let be the displacement vectors of each node in the tunnel structure. The overall stiffness matrix of the tunnel structure. This is the equivalent nodal force vector generated by fault dislocation. The dimension is ,in This represents the total number of degrees of freedom of the nodes; The dimension is ; The dimension is .

[0036] Equivalent nodal force vector The calculation method is as follows:

[0037] ,

[0038] in, This is the dislocation-force transformation matrix. This is the fault dislocation vector. The dimension is Its elements are determined based on the fault location, the angle between the tunnel and the fault, and the spring stiffness of the surrounding rock; , , respectively represent the dislocation components of the fault in the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0039] After establishing the dislocation-deformation coupled response matrix, the deformation response calculation step performs numerical calculations of the deformation response. The specific calculation process includes: first, converting the fault dislocation parameters into fault dislocation vectors. Secondly, based on the dislocation-force transformation matrix... Calculate the equivalent nodal force vector Then, solve the system of linear equations. , thus obtaining the nodal displacement vector Finally, the stress and strain distributions are calculated based on the nodal displacement vectors.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stress distribution is calculated using the following method: for beam elements, bending stress and shear stress are calculated based on the displacement-stress relationship; for solid elements, the components of the stress tensor are calculated based on the constitutive relation and the strain-displacement relation. The strain distribution is calculated using geometric equations, and the strain tensor at each point is calculated based on the gradient of the displacement field.

[0041] The output of the deformation response calculation step is deformation response data, which includes three parts: displacement distribution data, stress distribution data, and strain distribution data. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spatial resolution of the displacement distribution data is not less than 0.1 meters, and the calculation accuracy of the displacement values ​​is not less than 0.001 meters; the numerical accuracy of the stress distribution data is not less than 0.01 MPa; and the numerical accuracy of the strain distribution data is not less than 0.00001.

[0042] Step S3: 3D visualization rendering step.

[0043] The core task of the 3D visualization rendering step is to intuitively display the deformation analysis results in the form of cloud maps, isosurfaces, and animations based on deformation response data and through parametric 3D visualization rendering methods.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional visualization rendering step includes three sub-processes: deformation cloud map rendering, isosurface rendering, and deformation animation rendering.

[0045] Regarding the rendering of deformable cloud maps, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the processing flow of deformable cloud map rendering includes: first, establishing a mapping function between displacement values ​​and color levels; second, coloring each spatial point in the displacement distribution data according to the mapping function; and then, rendering the colored spatial points into a three-dimensional deformable cloud map using a volume rendering method.

[0046] The method for establishing the mapping function between displacement values ​​and color levels is as follows: Let the minimum displacement value in the displacement distribution data be... The maximum displacement value is Then the displacement value corresponding normalized value The calculation formula is:

[0047] ,

[0048] in, The displacement value to be mapped. and These are the minimum and maximum values ​​in the displacement distribution data, respectively. (Normalized value) The value range is from 0 to 1.

[0049] Normalized values The method for mapping to color levels is as follows: In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a rainbow color scale or a thermal color scale is used for mapping. For the rainbow color scale, the normalized value... The corresponding RGB color component calculation formula is:

[0050] ,

[0051] ,

[0052] ,

[0053] in, , , Normalized values The corresponding red, green, and blue components all have values ​​ranging from 0 to 1.

[0054] After the spatial points are colored, a volume rendering method is used to render the colored spatial points into a 3D deformable cloud map. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the volume rendering method employs a ray casting algorithm to sample and synthesize the colored spatial points along the line of sight to generate the final deformable cloud map image.

[0055] Regarding isosurface rendering, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the isosurface rendering process includes: first, setting a preset number of stress isosurface thresholds; second, using an isosurface extraction method to extract a three-dimensional surface corresponding to each stress isosurface threshold from the stress distribution data; and then, smoothing and rendering the extracted three-dimensional surface with transparency to generate a multi-level isosurface visualization result.

[0056] The method for setting the stress equivalent threshold is as follows: Let the minimum stress value in the stress distribution data be... The maximum stress value is The preset number of isosurfaces is Then the first Equivalent threshold The calculation formula is:

[0057] ,

[0058] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of isosurfaces The value ranges from 5 to 20, with a preferred value of 10.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the isosurface extraction method employs the Marching Cubes algorithm. This algorithm traverses each voxel of the stress distribution data, determines the topological structure of the isosurface within the voxel based on the relationship between the stress values ​​at the eight vertices of the voxel and the isosurface threshold, and generates corresponding triangular patches. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, to improve the smoothness of the isosurface, a Laplace smoothing algorithm is used for 3 to 5 iterations of smoothing processing based on the original isosurface extracted by the Marching Cubes algorithm.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transparency rendering method employs the following strategy: multiple stress isosurfaces are rendered in ascending order of stress value, with isosurfaces having lower stress values ​​set to higher transparency and isosurfaces having higher stress values ​​set to lower transparency. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first... Transparency of isosurfaces The calculation formula is:

[0061] ,

[0062] in, For basic transparency, a value of 0.3 is preferred; This represents the total number of isosurfaces. This is the index of the current isosurface.

[0063] Regarding morphing animation rendering, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the morphing animation rendering process includes: first, discretizing the fault dislocation process into a preset number of time steps; second, calculating the deformation response data corresponding to each time step; then, generating a corresponding morphing cloud map frame for each time step; and finally, compositing all the morphing cloud map frames into a morphing animation in chronological order.

[0064] The time-step discretization method is as follows: Let the total duration of the fault dislocation process be... The number of time steps is Then the first The moment at each time step and the corresponding dislocation proportionality coefficient The calculation formula is:

[0065] ,

[0066] Among them, the dislocation proportionality coefficient Used to calculate the The fault dislocation amount corresponding to each time step is calculated using the following formula: ,in This represents the final fault dislocation amount. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the number of time steps... The value ranges from 20 to 100, with a preferred value of 50.

[0067] Step S4: Interactive parameter adjustment steps.

[0068] The core task of the interactive parameter adjustment step is to respond to the user's parameter adjustment operation, obtain the adjusted fault dislocation amount, dislocation direction or flexible joint position parameters, and feed the adjusted fault dislocation amount, dislocation direction or flexible joint position parameters back to the deformation response calculation step, triggering the recalculation of deformation response data and the real-time update of the 3D visualization rendering step.

[0069] In one embodiment of the invention, the interactive parameter adjustment step provides three types of adjustable parameters, including fault dislocation parameters, dislocation direction parameters, and flexible joint parameters.

[0070] Regarding the interactive adjustment of fault dislocation parameters, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the user can adjust the vertical and horizontal dislocation amounts via a slider or numerical input box. The adjustable range for the vertical dislocation amount is 0.1 meters to 2.0 meters, with an adjustment step of 0.05 meters; the adjustable range for the horizontal dislocation amount is 0.1 meters to 1.5 meters, with an adjustment step of 0.05 meters. When the user adjusts the fault dislocation parameters, the system acquires the new parameter values ​​in real time and transmits them to the deformation response calculation step for recalculation.

[0071] Regarding the interactive adjustment of dislocation direction parameters, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the user can select the dislocation direction type via a drop-down menu or radio button, including three options: normal fault direction, reverse fault direction, and strike-slip fault direction. Furthermore, the user can precisely adjust the fault dip angle and dislocation azimuth angle via a numerical input box or angle slider. When the user adjusts the dislocation direction parameters, the system updates the dislocation-force transformation matrix in real time. And recalculate the deformation response data.

[0072] Regarding the interactive adjustment of flexible joint parameters, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user can adjust the flexible joint parameters in the following ways: First, by dragging and dropping in the 3D visualization interface, the joint position can be directly adjusted, and the system displays the joint's mileage coordinates in real time; Second, by using a slider or numerical input box, the joint stiffness parameters, including axial stiffness, radial stiffness, and tangential stiffness, can be adjusted; Third, by using a numerical input box, the joint deformation allowable parameters can be adjusted. When the user adjusts the flexible joint parameters, the system updates the joint layer data in the fused dataset and re-establishes the dislocation-deformation coupling response model.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the real-time update mechanism for the interactive parameter adjustment step employs the following strategy: When a parameter adjustment operation is detected, the system first determines the type of parameter being adjusted; if the adjustment involves fault dislocation quantity or dislocation direction parameters, only the displacement distribution in the deformation response data is recalculated, while the stress and strain distributions are updated synchronously based on the displacement distribution; if the adjustment involves flexible joint parameters, the dislocation-deformation coupled response matrix needs to be re-established before calculating the deformation response data. This classification and processing strategy can improve the real-time update response speed while ensuring calculation accuracy.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the real-time update response time requirements are as follows: the update time of the deformation cloud map after fault dislocation adjustment is no more than 500 milliseconds; the update time of the isosurface after dislocation direction adjustment is no more than 1000 milliseconds; and the update time of the complete visualization after flexible joint position adjustment is no more than 2000 milliseconds. The above response time requirements have been tested and passed on a computing device configured with an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card.

[0075] The interactive parameter-deformation linkage update algorithm is one of the core innovations of this invention, and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0076] ,

[0077] in, It is the displacement increment vector. This represents the fault dislocation increment vector. The formula shows that when a user adjusts the fault dislocation parameters, the displacement increment can be quickly calculated using matrix multiplication without resolving the complete system of linear equations. This incremental calculation method significantly improves the real-time response speed of parameter adjustments.

[0078] Step S5: Risk assessment and decision-making steps.

[0079] The core task of the risk assessment and decision-making process is to generate a deformation distribution heat map and a structural damage risk zoning map based on the deformation response data, generate optimization suggestions for the flexible joint layout based on the deformation analysis results, and feed the optimization suggestions back to the deformation response calculation process to update the deformation analysis results.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, the risk assessment and decision-making steps include three sub-processes: generating a deformation distribution heat map, generating a structural damage risk zoning map, and optimizing the arrangement of flexible joints.

[0081] Regarding the generation of deformation distribution heatmaps, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the generation process of deformation distribution heatmaps includes: first, dividing the tunnel structure longitudinally into a predetermined number of analysis units; second, statistically analyzing the maximum deformation, average deformation, and deformation gradient within each analysis unit; then, calculating the comprehensive deformation index of each analysis unit based on the maximum deformation, average deformation, and deformation gradient; and finally, mapping the comprehensive deformation index to a thermal color scale to generate a deformation distribution heatmap.

[0082] The method for dividing the tunnel structure analysis unit is as follows: Let the total length of the tunnel be... The number of analysis units is The length of each analysis unit and the Mileage range of each analysis unit The calculation formula is:

[0083] ,

[0084] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of analysis units The value range is 20 to 100, with a preferred value of 50; when the total length of the tunnel When the length is 1000 meters, the length of each analysis unit is... It is approximately 20 meters.
