Abstract

Warning indicators are required for the real-time monitoring of the service conditions of dams to ensure safe and normal operations. Warnings are traditionally targeted at some “single point deformation” by deformation measuring points of concrete dam, and scientific warning theory on “overall deformation” measured is nonexistent. Furthermore, the influences of random factors are not considered. In this paper, the overall deformation of the dam was seen as a deformation system of single interactional observation points with different contribution degrees. The spatial deformation entropy, which describes the overall deformation, was established and the fuzziness indicator that measures the influence of complex random factors on monitoring values according to cloud theory was constructed. On this basis, multistage warning indicators of “spatial deformation” that consider fuzziness and randomness were determined. Analysis showed that the change law of information entropy of the dam’ overall deformation is identical to the real change law of the dam; thus, it reflects the real deformation state of the dam. Moreover, the identified warning indicators improved the warning ability of concrete dams.
