Intelligent Autofeedback and Safety Early-Warning for Underground Cavern Engineering during Construction Based on BP Neural Network and FEM

The low efficiency of feedback analysis is one of the main shortcomings in the construction of underground cavern engineering. With this in mind, a method of intelligent autofeedback and safety early-warning for underground cavern is proposed based on BP neural network and FEM. The training sample points are chosen by using uniform test design method, and the autogeneration of FEM calculation file for ABAQUS is realized by using the technique of file partition, information grouping, and orderly numbering. Then, intelligent autoinversion of mechanics parameters is realized, and the automatic connection of parameter inversion, subsequent prediction, and safety early-warning is achieved. The software of intelligent autofeedback and safety early-warning for underground cavern engineering during construction is developed. Finally, the applicability of the proposed method and the developed software is verified through an application example of underground cavern of a pumped-storage power station located in Southwest China.
