Abstract
A concrete dam is an important water-retaining hydraulic structure that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams. It can be regarded as a constantly changing complex system. The deformation of a concrete dam can reflect its operation behaviors most directly among all the effect quantities. However, due to the change of the external environment, the failure of monitoring instruments, and the existence of human errors, the obtained deformation monitoring data usually miss pieces, and sometimes the missing pieces are so critical that the remaining data fail to fully reflect the actual deformation patterns. In this paper, the composition, characteristics, and contamination of the concrete dam deformation monitoring information are analyzed. From the single-value missing data completion method based on the nonlocal average method, a multi-value missing data completion method using BP (back propagation) mapping of spatial adjacent points is proposed to improve the accuracy of analysis and pattern prediction of concrete dam deformation behaviors. A case study is performed to validate the proposed method.
Highlights
A multi-value missing data completion method using BP mapping of spatial adjacent points is proposed to improve the accuracy on analysis and pattern prediction of concrete dam deformation behaviors
A concrete dam has many factors and links that affect its deformation behaviors. These factors and links are the information sources of the concrete dam deformation monitoring. It can be seen from the composition of concrete dam deformation monitoring information in the previous section that the information sources have the following characteristics
From the characteristics of deformation monitoring information, it can be seen that the acquisition of concrete dam deformation information is affected by multiple factors
