Abstract
In response to the complex risks that disasters caused by heavy rains bring to rammed earth ancient city site. This study proposes a heavy rain risk monitoring method based on digital twin technology, and uses the risk assessment model as an important twin model for intelligent prediction, aiming to improve the efficiency of risk identification, meet the needs of high-quality decision-making, and optimize the disaster management process. First, a user-friendly digital twin monitoring platform architecture is defined to include four layers: data layer, entity layer, model layer and function layer, which work together to enhance monitoring and prediction capabilities. Then, combining the dangers of disaster-causing factors and the vulnerability of the ancient city site itself, a risk assessment model was established to predict potential risks and threats in heavy rains. Finally, the effectiveness of this method was verified through practical application in the ancient city of Puzhou. This research not only provides a comprehensive management solution for ancient city site protection and disaster prevention, but also opens up a new path for digitally driven flood disaster risk assessment and prediction.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
