Description

Deep horizontal displacement monitoring device based on Brillouin scattering optical fiber
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of deep horizontal displacement monitoring, and relates to a deep horizontal displacement monitoring device based on Brillouin scattering optical fibers, which can be used for carrying out automatic, high-precision and predictable real-time dynamic monitoring on earth and rockfill dams, dykes, railway and highway slopes, rock and soil slopes, building foundations, mines, foundation pit excavation and underground structural engineering interiors.
Background
In order to reduce the loss caused by landslide disasters, the deep horizontal displacement monitoring method is widely applied to monitoring of side slopes, landslides and urban deep foundation pits, and the safety condition and the development trend of the method are evaluated and predicted. The monitoring of deep displacement of a side slope is an important link in a side slope monitoring system, and the main content is to measure the vertical displacement and the horizontal displacement of drill holes distributed on a side slope body so as to find out the displacement of different parts of the side slope and the like.
The currently common deep displacement monitoring technologies mainly comprise a borehole inclinometer, a guyed deep displacement meter, a multipoint displacement meter, a time domain reflection technology and the like. However, the sliding displacement meter cannot realize automatic measurement because the probe needs to move up and down along the inclinometer pipe in each measurement project; the measuring range of the fixed inclinometer is generally +/-10 degrees, and when the slope deformation exceeds the measuring range, the fixed inclinometer cannot continuously monitor; the pull-string type deep displacement meter can only measure the relative displacement, cannot determine the slope deformation direction, and cannot set the monitoring direction for it in advance. The pulse signals of the time domain reflection technology are easy to interfere, the slope deformation direction cannot be accurately determined, and accurate monitoring is difficult to obtain.
The optical fiber sensor has the characteristics of small volume, strong anti-interference capability, convenience for embedding materials or structures for nondestructive detection, wide dynamic range, high sensitivity and the like, so that the optical fiber sensor has obvious advantages compared with the traditional sensor and has very good application prospect in engineering practice. Fiber optic sensors are generally classified into electrical point type, quasi-distributed type, and fully-distributed type. The distributed optical fiber sensor has the advantages that the sensing parameters such as temperature, strain and the like at each point along the optical fiber can be continuously measured, the transmission distance is long, and the distributed optical fiber sensor is more suitable for horizontal displacement detection of projects such as slopes and foundation pits.
Such as brillouin scattering fiber technology:
brillouin scattering optical fiber sensing mechanism
Brillouin scattering is inelastic scattering of light excited by various elements in a medium, is a light scattering process generated by interaction of light waves and sound waves in the propagation process of an optical fiber, and the frequency change of the light scattering process represents the energy of the element excitation, so that the acoustic vibration in gas, liquid and solid can be researched. Under different conditions, brillouin scattering is expressed in the form of spontaneous scattering and invited scattering, respectively. The brillouin light has a frequency shift relative to the incident light, referred to as the brillouin frequency shift.
The change in the fiber brillouin shift with temperature and strain can be expressed as:
δνB=CνTδTZ+CντδεZ
in the formula, deltaνBIs the amount of change in brillouin frequency shift,is the relative change of brillouin power; delta TzAnd delta epsilonZThe variation of the degree and strain of the optical fiber; cνTAnd CντRespectively representing Brillouin frequency shift temperature coefficient and strain coefficient; cPTAnd CRespectively the temperature coefficient and the strain coefficient of the brillouin power.
From brillouin frequency shift and temperatureAnd the relation with the strain, the direct influence of the Brillouin frequency shift receiving temperature and the strain can be seen. Calculating the temperature variation delta TzSum frequency strain change δ εZAnd the simultaneous measurement of temperature and strain can be realized.
The existing distributed optical fiber sensor based on Brillouin scattering mainly focuses on three aspects of research: brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BODTR) techniques, brillouin optical analysis and analysis (BODTA) techniques, and Brillouin Optical Frequency Domain Analysis (BOFDA) techniques. The BOTDR technology has high spatial resolution and long detection distance, and has relatively mature research results in domestic and foreign research.
(II) distributed optical fiber sensor working principle based on Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BODTR) technology
A distributed optical fiber sensor based on a Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (BOTDR) technology mainly utilizes backward spontaneous Brillouin scattering signals in the nonlinear effect of optical fibers to realize sensing measurement. The brillouin signal is affected by both temperature and strain, and as the temperature and strain vary throughout the fiber, the frequency shift and intensity of the brillouin signal changes. The frequency shift and the intensity change quantity of the Brillouin scattering signal have good linear relation with the changes of the temperature and the strain, so that the changes of the temperature and the strain of each part of the optical fiber can be obtained by detecting the frequency shift and the intensity of the Brillouin scattering signal, and the detection of the strain change of a monitored object is realized.
According to the working principle of the BOTDR technology, pulse light is injected into an optical fiber, spontaneous Brillouin scattering light is continuously excited when the pulse light propagates along the optical fiber, the backward propagating Brillouin scattering light is received by a detection system arranged at the starting end of the optical fiber, positioning of the scattering light can be realized according to the time difference between the emitted pulse light and the received spontaneous Brillouin scattering light, the obtained spontaneous Brillouin scattering light at different moments is processed, the distribution of the power or frequency shift of a Brillouin scattering signal is determined, and finally distributed measurement of temperature or strain is realized.

The experiment table explores a laying method of the sensing optical fiber and research and development of the distributed optical fiber sensor, and provides necessary experimental basis for applying the distributed optical fiber sensing technology to engineering practice.

The method adopts a distributed optical fiber sensing technology based on a spontaneous Brillouin scattering principle, and lays sensing optical fibers on the outer surface of an inclinometer pipe in a comprehensive sticking mode, and then buries the inclinometer pipe in a soil body for measuring the deformation or displacement of the soil body. When the deep soil body displaces, the soil body drives the inclinometer pipe to deform, the strain capacity of the outer wall of the inclinometer pipe also changes, the strain distribution of the optical fiber adhered to the outer wall of the inclinometer pipe can be directly measured by adopting the BOTDR, the data acquisition process is realized by the computer control module, the acquired data is also guided into the data processing module by the computer control module, the deformation capacity of the inclinometer pipe is calculated according to a certain algorithm, and therefore the deformation or displacement of the soil body is obtained.

The method has the characteristics of distributed type, automatic data acquisition, real-time advanced monitoring and the like, and is suitable for monitoring the two-dimensional deformation or displacement of the surrounding rock in the geotechnical engineering fields of tunnel caverns, coal mine roadways and the like.
