Characterizing multivariate parameters is crucial for uncertainty analysis in geological engineering. However, the commonly used multivariate distribution function-based methods are increasingly challenged by issues of diminished accuracy and efficiency, as well as the inclusion of subjective processes, due to the growing complexity of data structures resulting from advanced data acquisition techniques. To this end, the prevailing generative machine learning algorithms are tried to learn the joint distributions of multivariate geotechnical parameters, and a deep neural network, CasMDN, is proposed based on the mixture density network and a cascade mechanism. The principle, structure, and training method of CasMDN is first introduced. Then two applications of the model, including stochastic simulation and probability calculation, are presented. In the first experiment, a group of geometric parameters of rock joints are simulated by a variational autoencoder, a generative adversarial network, a Gaussian mixture model, and our model, respectively. The result shows a significant advantage of our method over other generative models in learning the joint distribution of orientation, trace length, and aperture. Then, another comparison between our method and the recently proposed copula-based approach is carried out with a set of five-dimensional soil parameters, which is an open-source dataset collected from previous literature. It is proved that the CasMDN model can achieve the best performances on both fitting and probability calculating. This research demonstrates that using intelligent generative models to characterize complex geotechnical parameters can help explore the deep laws of geological uncertainty by improving accuracy and reducing subjectivity. Furthermore, the proposed CasMDN model is considered to have a broad application scope beyond the provided cases, for instance, uncertainty modelling and risk assessment of geotechnical engineering.
Basic geological phenomena in a hydraulic cavern can be a reflection of the occurrence of geological disaster. An efficient classification and identification of such information are crucial to understanding the distribution of structural planes in the cavern and the properties of its surrounding rocks to guide its further exploration. This task usually relies on manual work, but such traditional methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive at a low level of automated analysis. In this work, we use a variety of deep learning models and machine learning models to analyze the images of basic geological observations of hydraulic cavern foundation; and the cavern phenomena are classified through applying different deep learning models and the methods of Softmax classifier, random forest, and support vector machine. By comparing and selecting models with better performance for coupling, we developed a satisfactory image recognition model for the cavern geological phenomena, achieving automatic identification and analysis of the caverns, so that the workload of geological engineers is reduced significantly.
In the eastern plain area of the Haihe River basin of Tianjin, the ground subsidence is serious and the overburden layer is deep. To improve the construction of the watershed elevation system under this terrain condition, four kilometer-level bedrock markers were built for Tuanbowa Reservoir, Qingyun hydrology station, Xianxian Hydrology Station,and Xinjiafang hydrology station, and complete the bedrock the leveling network initial measurements and key hydraulic structure level testing work. According to the investigation, the depth of these four bedrock markers will be ranked in the world’s top four for a considerable period. The construction of kilometer-level bedrock is extremely difficult and requires high technology, which is rare at home and abroad. This paper discusses in detail site selection, construction technology,hole slope control, and rock mass stability, which can provide valuable experience for the subsequent construction.
Aiming at the problems of defects suchas corrosion and fracture of prestressed anchor cables under long-term operation, a theoretical method to determine the defect location of anchor cables is proposed based on the strain monitoring technology and the numerical simulation tests on the middle, left and right defective anchor cables. The experimental results show that there is a relationship between the defect location and the strain, and the results and trends of the numerical simulation and physical tests are basically the same. The relationship between the cable strain and the defect location is established through 15 groups of numerical simulation tests on different defect locations. It provides a feasible way to determine the defect location of cables and also a technical support for long-term safe operation of prestressed anchorage engineering.
The integrity of rock mass is an important parameter in evaluating the quality grade of hydraulic rock mass. The traditional methods often adopt a single index that cannot fully reflect the comprehensive influences of geological conditions such as structural plane, groundwater, and unloading on the evaluation results. An intelligent evaluation method for the integrity of hydraulic rock mass is proposed by coupling with multi-source survey information. Firstly, the synthetic minority oversampling (SMOTE) algorithm is used to balance the survey information data to improve the data set structure. Then the random forest algorithm is used to predict the original rock mass integrity data and the pre-processed data, respectively. Based on the data of actual projects, the validity and applicability are verified, and the predicted results are discussed and analyzed according to different factors affecting the integrity of rock mass. The results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the evaluation accuracy of the integrity of a few rock samples by balancing the data sets. By coupling and mining the deep information of different integrity indexes, the intelligent evaluation of rock mass integrity can be realized, which provides a new method for further assisting the evaluation of rock mass quality.
Geological investigation is a basic work in hydraulic project construction. The traditional geological survey records geological information on paper. However, this leads to a poor intuitiveness of the two-dimensional map and even a loss of its spatial features, and the field analysis process has to rely on subjective experiences heavily; disconnection of office work from field work makes it difficult to ensure data recording and analysis efficiency or data reliability. This paper presents an integrated method of 3D real scene recording and office-field analysis for hydraulic engineering geology. This system is based on the 3D real scene technology, Geographic Information System(GIS), machine learning algorithm, and geological modeling, focusing on the development of multi-source data fusion, multiplatform collaboration and 2D and 3D linkage, geological intelligence recording, and fast spatial interpretation. We develop two sets of platforms suitable for desktop and mobile terminals, including three main modules: 1) A base map module constructs a fused 3D reality using multi-source data and achieves multi-platform collaboration as well as 2D and 3D linkage of data, thereby providing reference scenes for office work and field work; 2) A recording module adopts a multi-platform collaboration and intelligent recognition method to implement the recording of geological points, geological boundaries,and exploration objects; 3) An analysis module, based on spatial interpretation, calculates spatial occurrence planes and makes inference about three-dimensional spatial intersection lines. In terms of specific functions, the mobile terminal focuses on field acquisition, while the desktop terminal on indoor analysis; both cooperate to achieve a seamless connection between office work and field work. The system has been applied to the geological survey of a hydraulic project in western China, and it shows a significant improvement on geological recording efficiency and quality in comparison with the traditional survey.

During the fieldwork of hydraulic engineering, practical engineers normally document geological information manually. Although there are some GIS-based digital tools for geology, they are not perfectly applicable to hydraulic engineering. As a result, the current work mode is ineffective, unmanageable, error-prone, and not conducive to subsequent analysis. To address this problem, we developed a digital tool which enables geological recording and quick modeling based on 3D real scenes in the field of hydropower projects. There are three modules in the surface tool: object recording, image interpretation, and field analysis. The object recording module is to mark geological points (e.g., drills and shafts), lines (e.g., faults, stratigraphic boundaries), and surfaces (e.g., slope and stocking yard) on a 3D scene and then store them in the database. The image interpretation is to interpret the 2D information in images to 3D models loaded in 3D software for further studies, such as GOCAD. The field analysis includes surface fitting, stability analysis of blocks, occurrences calculating, rock recognition, and 69/sketching. The tool is helpful for recording data, drawing geological boundaries, and building a preliminary model in the geological survey.

This subject,based on water diversion project in central southern Ningxia,studies engineering properties of soft rock in soft rock tunnel and gives the scientific basis for engineering design,construction and safety operation. In the subject,some properties of weak surrounding rocks,including the hydro-physical properties,swell-shrink property,rheological properties,mechanical properties and deformation mechanism,have been studied by several methods of exploration,the laboratory tests,the in-situ tests,the genetic mechanism method. From composition and existing environmen of the soft rock,it reveals the difference of the soft rock property between areas and the deformation law of the weak surrounding rock with the change of environment. It also puts forward supporting time and supporting measures of the tunnel in the layered soft surrounding rock with gentle occurrence. Due to its its strong hydrophilicity,a series of argillaceous soft rocks of Tertiary and Cretaceous,which are widely distributed in central and southern Ningxia area,have the characteristics of swell-shrink,slaking,rheology,time effect and sensitivity to the environment and are liable to cause the deformation failure of the tunnel. In consideration of the principle of engineering safety and investment control,this research result puts forward effective measurements that can be taken to inhibit or reduce the adverse impact on the mudstone engineering from excavation method,protection time and supporting technology.
Though the foundation rocks of Gomal Zam Dam Project are mainly composed of hard limestone ,they cannot meet the design requirements for gravity dam due to their low deformation modulus and high fracture index as a results of jointing and faulting .The stability of right abutment against sliding is also cann 't meet the code requirement due to the ex-istence of fault F2,F3 and F13.Because the river valley is rather narrow and steep ,and the rocks at depth are still frac-tured,it is unsuitable for deep excavation .Thus,the dam has to be based on moderately stress-relieved rocks,which would be treated by complete consolidation grouting to improve the rock mass integrity and deformation modulus .Meanwhile the concrete replacement method is applied for treatment of Fault F 2 to enhance the overall stability of the right bank abut-ment.
