Research on High Arch Dam Deformation Monitoring Model with Deep Capturing Related Features in Factor-time Dimensions by XUE Jianghan, ZHANG Pengtao, TIAN Jichen, LU Xiang, CHEN Jiankang, Guo Yinju

“…Therefore, the interpretability of DcTransformer model is summarized as follows: (1) the deformation trend and values of the measuring points on the crown beam are large, which can be easily extracted from the periodic characteristics and laws , and the performance of the model has been significantly improved; (2) For the high arch dam under high water level operation for a long time, the measuring points under water level are affected by temperature and water pressure factors, which are the key factors to control the radial deformation of the high arch dam; (3) The closer to the dam abutment, dam foundation and its internal measuring points, only the time effect factor is extracted to the time series change, resulting in no obvious increase in model performance.ConclusionsThe DcTransformer method can give better play to the advantages of the deep learning model in dealing with large data samples in the middle data sets, and it is more in line with the application scenario of dam safety monitoring. …”
