Monitoring indexes of concrete dam based on correlation and discreteness of multi-point displacements.

ABSTRACT: Monitoring indexes are significant for real-time monitoring of dam performance in ensuring safe and normal operation. Traditional methods for establishing monitoring indexes are mostly focused on single point displacements, and rational monitoring indexes based on multi-point displacements are rare. This study establishes monitoring indexes based on correlation and discreteness of multi-point displacements. The proposed method is applicable when several monitoring points show strong correlation. In this study, principal component analysis (PCA) was introduced for preprocessing the observations of multi-point displacements. Correlation and discreteness of multi-point displacements were extracted and constructed. The correlation and discreteness parts described the integral and local variance of the displacement field. On this basis, the annual maximum values of the correlation and discreteness parts were selected and their probability density functions (PDF) could be generated by employing the principle of maximum entropy. PDF was constructed using maximum entropy method and was least subjective because it barely provided the moment information of the observations. The multi-point monitoring indexes were then determined by the typical low probability method based on the obtained PDFs. Finally, the proposed method was analyzed using a practical engineering and was verified in terms of its feasibility.

Influence of Demographic and Health Survey Point Displacements on Raster-Based Analyses.

Project description:With this paper we explore the sensitivity of study results to spatial displacements associated with Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data in research that integrates ancillary raster data. Through simulation studies, we found that the impact of DHS point displacements on raster-based analyses can be moderated through the generation of covariates representing average values from neighborhood buffers. Additionally, raster surface characteristics (i.e., spatial smoothness) were found to affect the extent of bias introduced through point displacements. Although simple point extraction produced unbiased estimates in analyses involving smooth continuous surfaces, it is not recommended in analyses that involve categorical raster surfaces.

Influence of Demographic and Health Survey Point Displacements on Distance-Based Analyses.

Project description:We evaluate the impacts of random spatial displacements on analyses that involve distance measures from displaced Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) clusters to nearest ancillary point or line features, such as health resources or roads. We use simulation and case studies to address the effects of this introduced error, and propose use of regression calibration (RC) to reduce its impact. Results suggest that RC outperforms analyses involving naive distance-based covariate assignments by reducing the bias and MSE of the main estimator in most settings. Proposed guidelines also address the effect of the spatial density of destination features on observed bias.

Deep Learning-Based Diagnosing Structural Behavior in Dam Safety Monitoring System.

Project description:Collecting a myriad of prototype data through various types of monitoring sensors plays a virtual important role in many aspects of dam safety such as real-time grasp of safety state, exposure of hidden dangers, and inspection design and construction. However, the current methods of prediction are weak in the long-term sequence of nodes with missing and abnormal error value. Moreover, the limitation caused by the apparatus, environmental factors, and network transmission can lead to the deviation and inconsistency of diagnosis and evaluation of local region. In this paper, we consider the correlation of data on nodes in the entire monitoring network. To avoid the deviation caused by noise and missing value in the single-node data sequence, we calculate the correlation between the multiple sequences. A single-node assessment model based on multiple relevant sequence (SAM) is proposed to improve the accuracy of single node assessment. Given the different nodes of a local region have varying impacts on the evaluation results, a local region evaluation algorithm based on node credibility (LREA) is presented to model the credibility of nodes in order to alleviate inconsistent evaluation results in the local region of dam. LREA can assess the dam's operation state by considering the variations in credibility and multiple nodes coordination. The experimental results illustrate the LREA can reveal the trends of the monitoring values change in a timely and accurate way, which can elevate the accuracy of evaluation results of dam safety.

Influence of Demographic and Health Survey Point Displacements on Point-in-Polygon Analyses.

Project description:We use Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data to evaluate the impact of random spatial displacements on analyses that involve assigning covariate values from ancillary areal and point feature data. We introduce a method to determine the maximum probability covariate (MPC), and compare this to the naive covariate (NC) selection method with respect to obtaining the true covariate of interest. The MPC selection method outperforms the NC selection method by increasing the probability that the correct covariate is chosen. Proposed guidelines also address how characteristics of ancillary areal and point features contribute to uncertainty in covariate assignment.

Spatial-Temporal Features Based Sensor Network Partition in Dam Safety Monitoring System.

Project description: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.

Sensitive real-time monitoring of refractive indexes using a novel graphene-based optical sensor.

Project description:Based on the polarization-sensitive absorption of graphene under conditions of total internal reflection, a novel optical sensor combining graphene and a microfluidic structure was constructed to achieve the sensitive real-time monitoring of refractive indexes. The atomic thickness and strong broadband absorption of graphene cause it to exhibit very different reflectivity for transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes in the context of a total internal reflection structure, which is sensitive to the media in contact with the graphene. A graphene refractive index sensor can quickly and sensitively monitor changes in the local refractive index with a fast response time and broad dynamic range. These results indicate that graphene, used in a simple and efficient total internal reflection structure and combined with microfluidic techniques, is an ideal material for fabricating refractive index sensors and biosensor devices, which are in high demand.

Advances on the Failure Analysis of the Dam-Foundation Interface of Concrete Dams.

Project description:Failure analysis of the dam-foundation interface in concrete dams is characterized by complexity, uncertainties on models and parameters, and a strong non-linear softening behavior. In practice, these uncertainties are dealt with a well-structured mixture of experience, best practices and prudent, conservative design approaches based on the safety factor concept. Yet, a sound, deep knowledge of some aspects of this failure mode remain unveiled, as they have been offset in practical applications by the use of this conservative approach. In this paper we show a strategy to analyse this failure mode under a reliability-based approach. The proposed methodology of analysis integrates epistemic uncertainty on spatial variability of strength parameters and data from dam monitoring. The purpose is to produce meaningful and useful information regarding the probability of occurrence of this failure mode that can be incorporated in risk-informed dam safety reviews. In addition, relationships between probability of failure and factors of safety are obtained. This research is supported by a more than a decade of intensive professional practice on real world cases and its final purpose is to bring some clarity, guidance and to contribute to the improvement of current knowledge and best practices on such an important dam safety concern.

Dynamic monitoring of immune function indexes in COVID-19 patients.

Project description:We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and dynamic variations of immune indexes in nine COVID-19 patients in Zigong, China. We used flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to measure the absolute levels of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, respectively. We found that CRP, LDH, HBDH, CD4/CD8 and IgE levels were increased in 6/9 patients, while PA and the absolute numbers of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes decreased in 7/9 patients. From disease onset through 63 days of follow-up, SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels were consistently higher than those of SARS-CoV-2 IgM, reaching peaks on days 28 and 13, respectively. IgM levels decreased to normal 35 days after disease onset, while IgG levels remained elevated through day 63. IgE levels varied similarly to SARS-CoV-2 IgM. Our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may elicit allergic immune responses in patients and that the levels of CRP, PA, LDH, and HBDH, as well as the absolute numbers of CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes could be used as early diagnostic markers of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Lastly, the dynamic variation of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies could guide the timing of blood collection for plasma exchange.

Novel Concrete Temperature Monitoring Method Based on an Embedded Passive RFID Sensor Tag.

Project description:This paper firstly introduces the importance of temperature control in concrete measurement, then a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor tag embedded for concrete temperature monitoring is presented. In order to reduce the influences of concrete electromagnetic parameters during the drying process, a T-type antenna is proposed to measure the concrete temperature at the required depth. The proposed RFID sensor tag is based on the EPC generation-2 ultra-high frequency (UHF) communication protocol and operates in passive mode. The temperature sensor can convert the sensor signals to corresponding digital signals without an external reference clock due to the adoption of phase-locked loop (PLL)-based architecture. Laboratory experimentation and on-site testing demonstrate that our sensor tag embedded in concrete can provide reliable communication performance in passive mode. The maximum communicating distance between reader and tag is 7 m at the operating frequency of 915 MHz and the tested results show high consistency with the results tested by a thermocouple.

Project description:Numerical simulation based on finite element method is conducted to predict the location of pitting corrosion in reinforced concrete. Simulation results show that it is feasible to predict corrosion monitoring based on ultrasonic guided wave in reinforced concrete, and wavelet analysis can be used for the extremely weak signal of guided waves due to energy leaking into concrete. The characteristic of time-frequency localization of wavelet transform is adopted in the corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete. Guided waves can be successfully used to identify corrosion defects in reinforced concrete with the analysis of suitable wavelet-based function and its scale.
