Dam Safety Monitoring

Many various types of sensors have been installed to monitor the deformation and stress in the dam structure. It is difficult to directly evaluate the operation status of the dam structure based on the massive monitoring data. The sensor network is divided into multiple regions according to the design specifications, simulation data, and engineering experiences. The local results from sub-regions are integrated to achieve overall evaluation. However, it ignores the spatial distribution of sensors and the variation of time series, which cannot meet the real-time evaluation for the dam safety monitoring. If the network partitions can provide the preliminary foundation for analyzing the dynamic change laws of the dam’s working conditions in a real-way, we should consider the similarity of structure and stresses in the local region of the dam and the correlation among the monitoring data. A time-series denoising autoencoder (TSDA) is proposed to represent the spatial and temporal features of the nodes by compressing high-dimensional monitoring data. Then, a network partitioning algorithm (NPA) based on spatial-temporal features based on the TSDA is presented. The NPA ensures that the partition results can support the analysis of the physical change laws by introducing the auxiliary objective variable to optimize the network partition objective function. Experimental results on the public datasets and a real dataset from an arch dam demonstrate that the proposed network partition algorithm NPA can achieve better partition performance than TSDA+K-Means and TSDA+GMM. The NPA can improve the silhouette coefficient by 45.1% and 58.4% higher than the TSDA+K-Means and TSDA+GMM, respectively. The NPA can increase the Calinski-Harabaz Index by 30.8% and 61.6%, respectively.

Bayesian Belief Nets

Application of the Bayesian Belief Nets in dam safety monitoring The systems for earth dam monitoring should enable measurements of basic physical parameters describing the behavior of the structure, including: soil water pressure, soil stress, displacements, leaks, and drainage discharges. In the case of earth dam safety assessment, the monitoring data are used to detect any anomalies in dam behavior. In this paper, the dam safety has been analyzed using the Bayesian Nets. Two types of information: water pressure measurements and drainage discharge measurements are used in analyses. The seepage anomalies in the Klimkówka Dam were considered in demonstrate the practical advantages of using the Bayesian Nets for monitoring data interpretation. Presented examples of the Bayesian Nets applications (forward and backward propagation) in analysis of seepage through earth dams show that this method can be an effective tool supporting an assessment of dams technical condition and monitoring of the dam safety.

How to identify and remove the noise of the dam monitoring data is an important work of dam safety-monitoring. The article makes use of a new compromise thresholding method to denoise the the dam horizontal displacement. Based on the de-noising data, the article uses the PSO-SVM to overfit and predict the dam horizontal displacement and compare the results with multiple regression.The result shows that the combination of the new compromise thresholding method and PSO-SVM has a better prediction accuracy.

Based on the new time series analysis and the theory of dam safety, this paper proposed a new forecasting model in dam safety monitoring. First the paper introduced basic method of flat forecast and described its algorithm routine, and explained what is time series. Second the model structure of monitoring system based on time series analysis was given through the analysis of the method. The system can provide the comparison chart of the measured data, forecast data and trends. At last the model was realized based on VB and tested by the actual data. Experimental results show that this forecasting model has better prediction results in dam safety monitoring.

Dam Safety Monitoring

The monitoring of data anomaly identification is an important basis for dam safety online monitoring and evaluation. In this research, a cluster of anomaly identification models for dam safety monitoring data was constructed, and a three-stage online anomaly identification method was proposed to discriminate outliers. The proposed method combined anomaly detection for measured values based on a single-point time series simulation, measurement error reduction based on remote retesting and spatio-temporal analysis, and environmental response mutation recognition. It brought about efficient and accurate detection for data mutation and online classified identification for its inducement. Additionally, problems such as missing outliers, misjudging normal values induced by the environmental response, and difficulty in online identification for measurement errors were effectively solved. The research productions were applied to the online monitoring system for the safety risk of reservoirs and dams in the Dadu River Basin. The results showed that the proposed method could effectively improve the accuracy of anomaly identification and reduce the misjudgment and omission rate to less than 2%. It could also successfully recognize and subtract nonstructural anomalies such as accidental errors, instrument faults, and environmental responses online, which provided reliable data for online dam safety monitoring.
