Abstract
This article presents the results of the research on the construction of a model for assessing the risk of damage to building structures located in mining areas. The research was based on the database on the structure, technical condition and mining impacts regarding 129 prefabricated reinforced concrete buildings erected in the industrialised large-block system, located in the mining area of the Legnica-Glogow Copper District (LGCD). The methodology of the Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) was used for the analysis. Using the score-based Bayesian structure learning approach (Hill-Climbing and Tabu-Search) as well as the selected optimisation criteria, 16 Bayesian network structures were induced. All models were subjected to quantitative and qualitative evaluation by verifying their features in the context of accuracy of prediction, generalisation of acquired knowledge and cause-effect relationships. This allowed to select the best network structure together with the corresponding optimisation criterion. The analysis of the results demonstrated that the Tabu-Search method adopting the optimisation criterion in the form of Locally Averaged Bayesian Dirichlet score (BDla) led to obtaining a model with the best features among all the selected models. The results justified the adoption of the BBN methodology as effective in the context of assessing the extent of damage to building structures in mining areas.
Highlights
Damage to existing building structures in mining areas can be caused by a number of construction and environmental factors, including mining impacts
A training set with 105 patterns (81.36% of the total number of patterns in the database) and a test set whose number of patterns was 24 (18.6%) were obtained
The paper presents the results of analyses regarding the construction of the Bayesian network (BN) for predicting the extent and evaluation of damage to building structures subject to mining impacts
Summary
Damage to existing building structures in mining areas can be caused by a number of construction and environmental factors, including mining impacts. They can be seen on the surface in the form of continuous or non-continuous ground deformations [6, 38] and mining tremors [23, 41]. The damage may concern both structural and secondary members [8] This is the case with prefabricated reinforced concrete buildings erected in industrialised construction systems [15], currently accommodating circa 1/3 of Poland’s inhabitants In the context of mining impacts, the situation is further complicated by uncertainty regarding predictions of deformations that may occur on the ground surface as well as mining tremors [19]
