In this model, the number of sluice holes, pump units, and hydropower station units to be opened were used as decision variables, and different optimization objectives and constraints were considered. This model was solved with improved genetic algorithms and verified using the Huaian Water Conservancy Project as an example. The results show that the use of the joint optimization scheduling led to a 10% increase in the power generation capacity and a 15% reduction in the total energy consumption. The change in the water level was reduced by 0.25 m upstream of the Yundong Sluice, and by 50% downstream of pumping stations No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4. It is clear that the joint optimization scheduling proposed in this study can effectively improve power generation capacity of the project, minimize operating costs and energy consumption, and enable more stable operation of various hydraulic structures. The results may provide references for the management of water conservancy projects in complex river networks.展开更多

To solve this issue, a stochastic modeling method based on the random field theory is proposed in comparison with the deterministic geometric modeling method. Then the constraint random field modeling method and the random field modeling method without constrained parameters are compared and analyzed. A case study shows that the novel stochastic simulation method is an effective tool to describe the distribution characteristics of corrosion parameters and reflect the updated geological prospecting information. The influence of geological corrosion on the dam behavior can also be better analyzed by using the stochastic simulation method. At the same time, the unconfined random field ignores the sample location information and may lead to higher variability. Therefore, the constraint random field modeling method can provide a useful reference for the numerical analysis under complex geological conditions.展开更多

文摘Concrete is widely used in various large construction projects owing to its high durability,compressive strength,and plasticity.However,the tensile strength of concrete is low,and concrete cracks easily.Changes in the concrete structure will result in changes in parameters such as the frequency mode and curvature mode,which allows one to effectively locate and evaluate structural damages.In this study,the characteristics of the curvature modes in concrete structures are analyzed and a method to obtain the curvature modes based on the strain and displacement modes is proposed.Subsequently,various indices for the damage diagnosis of concrete structures based on the curvature mode are introduced.A damage assessment method for concrete structures is established using an artificial bee colony backpropagation neural network algorithm.The proposed damage assessment method for dam concrete structures comprises various modal parameters,such as curvature and frequency.The feasibility and accuracy of the model are evaluated based on a case study of a concrete gravity dam.The results show that the damage assessment model can accurately evaluate the damage degree of concrete structures with a maximum error of less than 2%,which is within the required accuracy range of damage identification and assessment for most concrete structures.
