  • Publication number: 20250245391
    Abstract: The present application proposes a method and system for quantitative derivation of an on-line evaluation layered model for evaluating concrete dam operation performance, and a storage medium, and relates to the technical field of dam operation safety monitoring and management. A logic architecture of quantitative derivation of the concrete dam operation performance mainly has two aspects, a longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension. The longitudinal dimension is the principal line of assessing longitudinal evaluation of the on-line evaluation layered model, and an analysis idea of the concrete dam from local to global and from details to whole is objectively reflected from six levels of monitoring data, diagnosis methods, monitored items, evaluation indicators, key parts and an overall project.
