The optimization of drilling parameters is one of the most important technologies of intelligent drilling, while how to determine the key values to improve the drilling efficiency is still a difficulty. In this paper, we established a composite percussive rock breaking model of a full-size PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) bit based on the Continuous-Discontinuous Element Method (CDEM). The evolution of rock fragmentation under the action of composite impact is analyzed by the rock breaking volume and the torque applied on the drill bit during drilling. Based on actual construction, two key parameters affecting the process of composite impact rock breaking were selected, axial impact velocity and impact frequency, to further investigate their effect of composite impact rock breaking. The fitting curves obtained from the sensitivity analysis of rock breaking effect under different construction parameters were proposed to guide the intelligent drilling. Furthermore, the construction parameters of a diversion inclined shaft in the #2 construction branch hole of Tiantai Mountain Pumped Storage Power Station in Zhejiang Province were collected, which provides validation data for the proposed optimizing theory of the drilling parameters.","PeriodicalId":500406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Construction","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135607102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, casualty and economic loss might occur in metro systems due to various emergencies. Social media has gradually become the main way to express people's needs, which provides a new analysis perspective for risk management in metros. This study takes the Zhengzhou metro flood as an example and collects relevant social media data. Then, the analysis method of social media data evolution characteristics in metro emergencies is proposed. Finally, the evolution characteristics of social media data are analyzed from three aspects: spatiotemporal distribution, emotional distribution, and hot topics classification. The results show that: the temporal distribution of social media data is affected by the emergency process and official media; the spatial distribution of social media data reflects the distribution of stations affected by emergency and temporary shelters; timely and appropriate official media reports are conducive to guiding public emotions toward positive; the key hot topics can be divided into disaster environment (DE), disaster impact (DI), disaster carriers (DC), emergency management (EM), positive comments (PC) and negative comments (NC). The proposed method can provide support for public opinion analysis and risk management in metro emergencies.","PeriodicalId":500406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Construction","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136129884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the optimal cleaning frequency of the ACC system has yet to be thoroughly studied. We develop a theoretical model for the total cost of the dust-fouling energy loss and direct cleaning service costs. This extended model is the first to consider energy loss in the cleaning and production phases with field validation. The cleaning period is optimized to minimize the total cost. Numerical solutions are sought to demonstrate the relationship between the normalized optimized cleaning period and the dimensionless inputs. An empirical fitting equation is developed for convenient use in industrial applications. An innovative variance-based global sensitivity analysis (SA) is performed to estimate the sensitivity of the optimization result to the input parameters. We found that heat resistance (<em>R</em><sub>f</sub>), installed capacity, utilization rate, grid electricity price (<em>E</em><sub>net</sub>), and cleaning cost rate have substantial impacts. The present study has the potential to improve the cleaning service plan of the onsite maintenance, to provide a theoretical framework for the life cycle analysis of the power plant, and to inform the decisionmakers of the priority of data collection and sensor network deployment.","PeriodicalId":500406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Construction","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intelligent monitoring systems for dam filling have garnered considerable attention from water conservancy and hydropower engineering units, owing to their capability for refined management and quality control of layered and compartmentalized construction processes. The construction of earth–rock dams has undergone a transformation, shifting from manual management of dam compaction equipment, layer management, and quality control to a comprehensive intelligent approach. This new approach encompasses finegrained control of unit engineering, dam material identification, unmanned driving technology, real-time assessment and monitoring of compaction quality, and early warning forecasting. This article presents a systematic overview of key technologies employed in the intelligent construction process of earth–rock dams. These technologies include the fine decomposition of building information modeling (BIM) models on web platforms, rapid identification of dam material particle size, the application of autonomous driving technology for intelligent dam filling, and real-time monitoring and evaluation of dam compaction characteristics. Additionally, the paper discusses the latest research results in the field, building upon existing technology progress, and concludes by exploring the future development trends of intelligent dam construction. The construction of intelligent earth–rock dams serve as a crucial reference and valuable lessons for the development and construction of high earth–rock dam projects.","PeriodicalId":500406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Construction","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An experimental approach is employed to analyze the differences and accuracy of distance perception in both settings, while also examining the influence of driving age on distance perception. The results indicate that drivers tend to perceive larger distance values when traveling at speeds between 55 and 75 km/h, irrespective of whether they are in the general road environment outside the tunnel or within it. However, at speeds within the range of 75–85 km/h, the perceived distance values (<em>S</em><sub>p</sub>) are generally smaller than the actual values. Moreover, the findings suggest that older drivers demonstrate more accurate distance judgment compared to their younger counterparts. Based on these research outcomes, specific recommendations are proposed for the implementation of relevant distance sensing facilities in tunnel sections.","PeriodicalId":500406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intelligent Construction","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135298452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
