Abstract
The geological conditions in the dam area of Baihetan Hydropower Station are very complex, with columnar joints accounting for up to 39.9% of the base area. None of the existing methodologies for rock mass classification are fully suitable for the purposes of quality classification of columnar jointed basalt rock masses. This article addresses the challenges in evaluating and classifying the quality of the columnar jointed basalt rock mass at the dam foundation of the Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River. Considering the engineering geological conditions, rock mass characteristics, and environmental context of the Baihetan dam area, evaluation indicators were selected for engineering rock mass quality classification. It also introduces a new rock mass classification model that combines the Gaussian function with the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm. Different weight coefficients were assigned based on the similarity of the samples. Thus, the proposed model was used for the evaluation and classification of the rock mass at the dam foundation in the key area. Ultimately, a new classification tool is proposed for assessing engineering properties of the rock mass at Baihetan dam foundation, providing a viable solution for quality classification in this particular area.
期刊介绍:
Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces:
• the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations;
• the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change;
• the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses;
• the prediction of changes to the above properties with time;
• the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
