1 Introduction

Deformation is one of the major monitored items in damsafety Concrete dams are exposed to influences of variousnondeterministic settings such as the load effect of waterlevel uplift pressure and wind waves caused by hydrologicand hydraulic uncertainties as well as geological andmaterialuncertainties such as shearing and compressive strengthThus a concrete dam is a complicated system of nonde-terministic settings that are affected by various complexrandom factors [1 2] Considering a damrsquos long-term serviceconducting timely and effective warning against emergenciesthrough real-time monitoring is key to its safe operation [3]

The monitoring of dam safety is an important researchsubject in advanced mechanics and mathematics theories In1950 Tonini categorized the factors influencing the displace-ment of dam into water pressure temperature and effective-ness for a given period [4] These factors were expressed inthe polynomials of specific functions before a statistic model

with regression analysis was establishedThen the determin-istic model andmixedmodel were consulted for deformationof concrete dam and introduced finite element to monitorand evaluate the safety of dams [5] Furthermore manyscholars brought new achievements in diagnosing dam safetyfrom many aspects In 2009 Gu and Wang established thecatastrophe model of time-dependent component on thebasis of catastrophe theory and proposed the method todetermine the threshold value of the structure displacementof the dam [6] On the basis of the POT model in extremevalue theory in 2012 Su et al estimated the warningindicators by setting the threshold value and combiningthe probability of dam deformation with transfinite datasequence as the subject of modeling analysis [7] Warningindicators are sure to have some fuzziness and randomnessbecause of the influences of various complex random factorsOn the basis of the fuzzy finite element Chen (2006) realizedthe nondeterministic optimal control on roller compactedconcrete dam [8] Although the above-mentioned theories

and methods complement and improve traditional methodsin solving difficult problems in dam safety such approachesonly address the warning of ldquopointrdquo deformation and not thescientific ldquospatial and overallrdquo deformation Further studieson the deformation of concrete dams must consider theinfluences of complex random factors Thus the expressionof a damrsquos overall deformation should be constructed andscientific and accurate warning indicators that considerrandomness and fuzziness should be determined

This paper began with an analysis of an indicator offuzziness that affects the value of monitoring the dam bystudying the influences of fuzziness and randomness fromlong-term service of the dam based on cloud theory [9ndash11] Thereafter the relationship between a damrsquos overalldeformation and deformation of single observation pointswas analyzed through information entropy and synergeticsIn the analysis overall deformation refers to a systemwhereinsingle observation points with different contribution degrees(weights) influence one another A criterion indicator mea-suring the overall deformation conditions was constructedOn this basis multistage warning indicators for the overalldeformation of concrete dam considering fuzziness andrandomness were determined Therefore nondeterministicoptimal control was achieved [12] This paper concludes witha project case that verified the feasibility of the proposedtheory

2 Nondeterministic Optimal Control

Hydraulic engineering considers that some fuzziness andrandomness in dams are inevitable because of the influencesof various random factors such as the nondeterminacy ofmechanical parameters imposed load and boundary condi-tions Statistically the smaller probability of dam displace-ment indicates that the dam is in a more dangerous state120583 + 3120590 and 120583 minus 3120590 can be used as a warning indicator in oneconfidence coefficient of the dam if the displacement obeysthe normal distribution of mean value and variance and is inthe range of 120583plusmn3120590 in deterministic optimal control In realitygiven that dams are affected by random factors warningindicators will have a range of variations For example inFigure 1 the warning value of upstream displacement has amaximum control value and minimum control value

As the foundation of cloud theory the cloud model isprecisely both controlled and uncontrolled in microscopescale119880 is the time series ofmonitoring the damdeformationand 119862 is the qualitative judgment on dam safety If thequantitative value 119909 isin 119880 119906(119909) fall in [0 1] and follow theprobability distribution law

The distribution of 119909 in 119880 is called cloud and (119909 119906) is thecloud droplet

3 Methods of Characterizing Contributions ofSingle Observation Point

The overall deformation condition of the concrete dam isusually exposed to the influences of water pressure and tem-perature and is related to many factors including the physicaland mechanical properties of dam materials body structuregeology and hydrology and it could be referred to in Figure 3The principles of synergetics posit that a concrete dam isa synthesis of feature points with different contributions(weights) that influence one another The contribution of asingle observation point needs to be studied to construct areasonable expression of overall deformation

31 Construction of the Indicator Set of a Single ObservationPoint Weight Entropy [13ndash15] a basic concept in thermody-namics refers to a state function in a system The conceptof information entropy is a measurement of the systemrsquosdisorder and nondeterminacy [15] The measured value 119895 onobservation point 119894 is 119909

119894119895and its corresponding entropy is 119878

119894119895

According to entropy theory when an observation point is ina more dangerous state the system is in greater disorder andits entropy value is smaller Thus the following is obtained

indicator and secondary indicator when both of them shouldbe categorized according to the membership of displacementmeasured 120575lowast was introduced because the membership ofdisplacement at this point is the same Figure 7 showsdiagram of multistage fuzzy information entropy warningindicators

The primary fuzzy warning indicator is 12057510158401= (1205750

Shapiro-Wilk test andKolmogorov-Smirnov test can bothtest whether the samples obey normal distribution or not Butthe Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applicable to fewer samplesIt can not only test if the samples are subject to normaldistribution but also test if samples are subject to otherdistributions The basic idea of the K-S test is to comparethe cumulative frequency of the observed value (119865

119899(119909)) with

the assumed theoretical probability distribution (119865119909(119909)) to

6 Example Analysis

61 Project Profile One flat-slab deck dam built with rein-forced concrete is an important part of one river basin cascadeexploitation The elevation of this dam crest is 13770m andthe height of biggest part is about 43m the crest runs 2250min length and is made of 27 flat-slab buttresses with a span of75m The space between the left side of 2 buttress and theright side of 9 buttress is the joint part the overflow buttressis located from the 9 buttress to the 20 buttress the rest isthe water-retaining buttressTheworkshop buttress is locatedfrom the 5 buttress to the 8 buttress In this dam the levelof deadwater is 1220m the normal highwater level is 1310m(in practice it is 1290m) the design flood level is 1367m andthe check flood level is 1375m To monitor the displacementof this dam a direct plumb line and an inverted plumb linewere arranged in four buttresses 4 9 21 and 24There isa crushed zone under the dam foundation where occurrenceis N20∘sim25∘W SWang70∘sim80∘ the maximum width is about3m and the narrowest place is about 1mThere is an elevationclip joint mud at level 91m

The deformation field characterized by the observationpoint at 21 should be typical and is a key point because it isin the riverbedThus the observation point G21 at the heightof 134m along the direct plumb line at 21 was analyzed aswell as point 27 at the height of 118m along this line andpoint 28 at the height of 107mAll these valuesmeasuredweretransformed into absolute displacement The arrangement ofeach point is shown in Figure 8 The daily monitoring dataseries is from January 1 2003 to December 31 2013

In this paper two-stage warning indicators were setaccording to the practical running of this project and danger120572 = 5 is the primary warning that is mainly used to discri-minate and handle early dangerous case and the reliabilityindex of dam failure is 95 whereas 120572 = 1 is the secondarywarning that is mainly used to determine grave danger andprevent urgent danger and the reliability index of dam failureis 99

and methods complement and improve traditional methodsin solving difficult problems in dam safety such approachesonly address the warning of ldquopointrdquo deformation and not thescientific ldquospatial and overallrdquo deformation Further studieson the deformation of concrete dams must consider theinfluences of complex random factors Thus the expressionof a damrsquos overall deformation should be constructed andscientific and accurate warning indicators that considerrandomness and fuzziness should be determined

This paper began with an analysis of an indicator offuzziness that affects the value of monitoring the dam bystudying the influences of fuzziness and randomness fromlong-term service of the dam based on cloud theory [9ndash11] Thereafter the relationship between a damrsquos overalldeformation and deformation of single observation pointswas analyzed through information entropy and synergeticsIn the analysis overall deformation refers to a systemwhereinsingle observation points with different contribution degrees(weights) influence one another A criterion indicator mea-suring the overall deformation conditions was constructedOn this basis multistage warning indicators for the overalldeformation of concrete dam considering fuzziness andrandomness were determined Therefore nondeterministicoptimal control was achieved [12] This paper concludes witha project case that verified the feasibility of the proposedtheory

2 Nondeterministic Optimal Control

Hydraulic engineering considers that some fuzziness andrandomness in dams are inevitable because of the influencesof various random factors such as the nondeterminacy ofmechanical parameters imposed load and boundary condi-tions Statistically the smaller probability of dam displace-ment indicates that the dam is in a more dangerous state120583 + 3120590 and 120583 minus 3120590 can be used as a warning indicator in oneconfidence coefficient of the dam if the displacement obeysthe normal distribution of mean value and variance and is inthe range of 120583plusmn3120590 in deterministic optimal control In realitygiven that dams are affected by random factors warningindicators will have a range of variations For example inFigure 1 the warning value of upstream displacement has amaximum control value and minimum control value

As the foundation of cloud theory the cloud model isprecisely both controlled and uncontrolled in microscopescale119880 is the time series ofmonitoring the damdeformationand 119862 is the qualitative judgment on dam safety If thequantitative value 119909 isin 119880 119906(119909) fall in [0 1] and follow theprobability distribution law

The distribution of 119909 in 119880 is called cloud and (119909 119906) is thecloud droplet

In Figure 2 for observation point 119894 if the range whereinthe cloud droplet falls is given the upper bound and lower

3 Methods of Characterizing Contributions ofSingle Observation Point

The overall deformation condition of the concrete dam isusually exposed to the influences of water pressure and tem-perature and is related to many factors including the physicaland mechanical properties of dam materials body structuregeology and hydrology and it could be referred to in Figure 3The principles of synergetics posit that a concrete dam isa synthesis of feature points with different contributions(weights) that influence one another The contribution of asingle observation point needs to be studied to construct areasonable expression of overall deformation

31 Construction of the Indicator Set of a Single ObservationPoint Weight Entropy [13ndash15] a basic concept in thermody-namics refers to a state function in a system The conceptof information entropy is a measurement of the systemrsquosdisorder and nondeterminacy [15] The measured value 119895 onobservation point 119894 is 119909

119894119895and its corresponding entropy is 119878

119894119895

According to entropy theory when an observation point is ina more dangerous state the system is in greater disorder andits entropy value is smaller Thus the following is obtained

119878119894119895= minus [120583

119894119895ln 120583119894119895+ (1 minus 120583

32 Process of Calculating the Weight of a Single Obser-vation Point By using the projection pursuit method [1617] the high-dimensional data can be projected to lowdimension space and projection that reflects the structureor features of high-dimensional data is pursued to analyzehigh-dimensional dataThismethod is advantageous becauseit is highly objective robust resistant to interference andaccurate The steps are as follows

Step 1 The extreme value of the inverse entropy matrix wasnormalized through the following equation

4 Study on Equivalent Model ofDamrsquos Overall Deformation

The overall deformation of a dam can be considered a defor-mation system of feature points with different contributionsthat influence one another as well as observation points ofthe deformation as feature pointsThe deformation conditionwas analyzed systemically and the overall deformation wasexpressed by the evolution of equation of all feature pointsThe deformation condition was described qualitatively bythe tectonic type of information entropy The absolute valueof the information entropy measures the danger level ofthe deformation value Smaller absolute value means higherdanger level The positive and negative values indicate thedirection of the deformation A positive value correspondsto downstream deformation whereas a negative value corre-sponds to upstream deformation The influences of randomfactors were considered and the fuzzy information entropywas constructed

41 Constructing Fuzzy Information Entropy of SingleMeasured Value The downstream deformation is positivewhereas the upstream deformation is negative

Shapiro-Wilk test andKolmogorov-Smirnov test can bothtest whether the samples obey normal distribution or not Butthe Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applicable to fewer samplesIt can not only test if the samples are subject to normaldistribution but also test if samples are subject to otherdistributions The basic idea of the K-S test is to comparethe cumulative frequency of the observed value (119865

119899(119909)) with

the assumed theoretical probability distribution (119865119909(119909)) to

construct statisticsAccording to the method of empirical distribution func-

tion segmented cumulative frequency is obtained by usingthe following formula

6 Example Analysis

61 Project Profile One flat-slab deck dam built with rein-forced concrete is an important part of one river basin cascadeexploitation The elevation of this dam crest is 13770m andthe height of biggest part is about 43m the crest runs 2250min length and is made of 27 flat-slab buttresses with a span of75m The space between the left side of 2 buttress and theright side of 9 buttress is the joint part the overflow buttressis located from the 9 buttress to the 20 buttress the rest isthe water-retaining buttressTheworkshop buttress is locatedfrom the 5 buttress to the 8 buttress In this dam the levelof deadwater is 1220m the normal highwater level is 1310m(in practice it is 1290m) the design flood level is 1367m andthe check flood level is 1375m To monitor the displacementof this dam a direct plumb line and an inverted plumb linewere arranged in four buttresses 4 9 21 and 24There isa crushed zone under the dam foundation where occurrenceis N20∘sim25∘W SWang70∘sim80∘ the maximum width is about3m and the narrowest place is about 1mThere is an elevationclip joint mud at level 91m

The deformation field characterized by the observationpoint at 21 should be typical and is a key point because it isin the riverbedThus the observation point G21 at the heightof 134m along the direct plumb line at 21 was analyzed aswell as point 27 at the height of 118m along this line andpoint 28 at the height of 107mAll these valuesmeasuredweretransformed into absolute displacement The arrangement ofeach point is shown in Figure 8 The daily monitoring dataseries is from January 1 2003 to December 31 2013

In this paper two-stage warning indicators were setaccording to the practical running of this project and danger120572 = 5 is the primary warning that is mainly used to discri-minate and handle early dangerous case and the reliabilityindex of dam failure is 95 whereas 120572 = 1 is the secondarywarning that is mainly used to determine grave danger andprevent urgent danger and the reliability index of dam failureis 99

random factors The results of the specific studies are asfollows

(1) Influences of fuzziness and randomness of randomfactors on the long-term service of dam were dis-cussed a fuzziness indicator that measures the influ-ence of random factors on monitoring value wasconstructed through cloud model

(2) Equivalent model of overall deformation was pro-posed In the model the overall deformation ofdam was regarded as a deformation system whereeach observation point had different contributions(weights) and affected one another Based on entropytheory a space information entropy that can measurethe overall deformation condition was established

(3) Multistage warning indicators against overall defor-mation of concrete dam under the influences of fuzzi-ness and randomness were determined and nondeter-ministic optimal control of the indicator was achievedto improve the competence of warning against thedeformation of concrete dam

will be greater Thus 119863119894119895can be used to measure how much

information is reflected by a single measured value

Suppose the weight distribution of all observation pointsis 120596119894| 119894 = 1 2 119899 where 119899 is the number of points

32 Process of Calculating the Weight of a Single Obser-vation Point By using the projection pursuit method [1617] the high-dimensional data can be projected to lowdimension space and projection that reflects the structureor features of high-dimensional data is pursued to analyzehigh-dimensional dataThismethod is advantageous becauseit is highly objective robust resistant to interference andaccurate The steps are as follows

Step 1 The extreme value of the inverse entropy matrix wasnormalized through the following equation

4 Study on Equivalent Model ofDamrsquos Overall Deformation

The overall deformation of a dam can be considered a defor-mation system of feature points with different contributionsthat influence one another as well as observation points ofthe deformation as feature pointsThe deformation conditionwas analyzed systemically and the overall deformation wasexpressed by the evolution of equation of all feature pointsThe deformation condition was described qualitatively bythe tectonic type of information entropy The absolute valueof the information entropy measures the danger level ofthe deformation value Smaller absolute value means higherdanger level The positive and negative values indicate thedirection of the deformation A positive value correspondsto downstream deformation whereas a negative value corre-sponds to upstream deformation The influences of randomfactors were considered and the fuzzy information entropywas constructed

41 Constructing Fuzzy Information Entropy of SingleMeasured Value The downstream deformation is positivewhereas the upstream deformation is negative

Shapiro-Wilk test andKolmogorov-Smirnov test can bothtest whether the samples obey normal distribution or not Butthe Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applicable to fewer samplesIt can not only test if the samples are subject to normaldistribution but also test if samples are subject to otherdistributions The basic idea of the K-S test is to comparethe cumulative frequency of the observed value (119865

119899(119909)) with

the assumed theoretical probability distribution (119865119909(119909)) to

construct statisticsAccording to the method of empirical distribution func-

tion segmented cumulative frequency is obtained by usingthe following formula

6 Example Analysis

61 Project Profile One flat-slab deck dam built with rein-forced concrete is an important part of one river basin cascadeexploitation The elevation of this dam crest is 13770m andthe height of biggest part is about 43m the crest runs 2250min length and is made of 27 flat-slab buttresses with a span of75m The space between the left side of 2 buttress and theright side of 9 buttress is the joint part the overflow buttressis located from the 9 buttress to the 20 buttress the rest isthe water-retaining buttressTheworkshop buttress is locatedfrom the 5 buttress to the 8 buttress In this dam the levelof deadwater is 1220m the normal highwater level is 1310m(in practice it is 1290m) the design flood level is 1367m andthe check flood level is 1375m To monitor the displacementof this dam a direct plumb line and an inverted plumb linewere arranged in four buttresses 4 9 21 and 24There isa crushed zone under the dam foundation where occurrenceis N20∘sim25∘W SWang70∘sim80∘ the maximum width is about3m and the narrowest place is about 1mThere is an elevationclip joint mud at level 91m

The deformation field characterized by the observationpoint at 21 should be typical and is a key point because it isin the riverbedThus the observation point G21 at the heightof 134m along the direct plumb line at 21 was analyzed aswell as point 27 at the height of 118m along this line andpoint 28 at the height of 107mAll these valuesmeasuredweretransformed into absolute displacement The arrangement ofeach point is shown in Figure 8 The daily monitoring dataseries is from January 1 2003 to December 31 2013

In this paper two-stage warning indicators were setaccording to the practical running of this project and danger120572 = 5 is the primary warning that is mainly used to discri-minate and handle early dangerous case and the reliabilityindex of dam failure is 95 whereas 120572 = 1 is the secondarywarning that is mainly used to determine grave danger andprevent urgent danger and the reliability index of dam failureis 99

random factors The results of the specific studies are asfollows

(1) Influences of fuzziness and randomness of randomfactors on the long-term service of dam were dis-cussed a fuzziness indicator that measures the influ-ence of random factors on monitoring value wasconstructed through cloud model

(2) Equivalent model of overall deformation was pro-posed In the model the overall deformation ofdam was regarded as a deformation system whereeach observation point had different contributions(weights) and affected one another Based on entropytheory a space information entropy that can measurethe overall deformation condition was established

(3) Multistage warning indicators against overall defor-mation of concrete dam under the influences of fuzzi-ness and randomness were determined and nondeter-ministic optimal control of the indicator was achievedto improve the competence of warning against thedeformation of concrete dam

4 Study on Equivalent Model ofDamrsquos Overall Deformation

The overall deformation of a dam can be considered a defor-mation system of feature points with different contributionsthat influence one another as well as observation points ofthe deformation as feature pointsThe deformation conditionwas analyzed systemically and the overall deformation wasexpressed by the evolution of equation of all feature pointsThe deformation condition was described qualitatively bythe tectonic type of information entropy The absolute valueof the information entropy measures the danger level ofthe deformation value Smaller absolute value means higherdanger level The positive and negative values indicate thedirection of the deformation A positive value correspondsto downstream deformation whereas a negative value corre-sponds to upstream deformation The influences of randomfactors were considered and the fuzzy information entropywas constructed

41 Constructing Fuzzy Information Entropy of SingleMeasured Value The downstream deformation is positivewhereas the upstream deformation is negative

Shapiro-Wilk test andKolmogorov-Smirnov test can bothtest whether the samples obey normal distribution or not Butthe Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applicable to fewer samplesIt can not only test if the samples are subject to normaldistribution but also test if samples are subject to otherdistributions The basic idea of the K-S test is to comparethe cumulative frequency of the observed value (119865

119899(119909)) with

the assumed theoretical probability distribution (119865119909(119909)) to

construct statisticsAccording to the method of empirical distribution func-

tion segmented cumulative frequency is obtained by usingthe following formula

6 Example Analysis

61 Project Profile One flat-slab deck dam built with rein-forced concrete is an important part of one river basin cascadeexploitation The elevation of this dam crest is 13770m andthe height of biggest part is about 43m the crest runs 2250min length and is made of 27 flat-slab buttresses with a span of75m The space between the left side of 2 buttress and theright side of 9 buttress is the joint part the overflow buttressis located from the 9 buttress to the 20 buttress the rest isthe water-retaining buttressTheworkshop buttress is locatedfrom the 5 buttress to the 8 buttress In this dam the levelof deadwater is 1220m the normal highwater level is 1310m(in practice it is 1290m) the design flood level is 1367m andthe check flood level is 1375m To monitor the displacementof this dam a direct plumb line and an inverted plumb linewere arranged in four buttresses 4 9 21 and 24There isa crushed zone under the dam foundation where occurrenceis N20∘sim25∘W SWang70∘sim80∘ the maximum width is about3m and the narrowest place is about 1mThere is an elevationclip joint mud at level 91m

The deformation field characterized by the observationpoint at 21 should be typical and is a key point because it isin the riverbedThus the observation point G21 at the heightof 134m along the direct plumb line at 21 was analyzed aswell as point 27 at the height of 118m along this line andpoint 28 at the height of 107mAll these valuesmeasuredweretransformed into absolute displacement The arrangement ofeach point is shown in Figure 8 The daily monitoring dataseries is from January 1 2003 to December 31 2013

In this paper two-stage warning indicators were setaccording to the practical running of this project and danger120572 = 5 is the primary warning that is mainly used to discri-minate and handle early dangerous case and the reliabilityindex of dam failure is 95 whereas 120572 = 1 is the secondarywarning that is mainly used to determine grave danger andprevent urgent danger and the reliability index of dam failureis 99

random factors The results of the specific studies are asfollows

(1) Influences of fuzziness and randomness of randomfactors on the long-term service of dam were dis-cussed a fuzziness indicator that measures the influ-ence of random factors on monitoring value wasconstructed through cloud model

(2) Equivalent model of overall deformation was pro-posed In the model the overall deformation ofdam was regarded as a deformation system whereeach observation point had different contributions(weights) and affected one another Based on entropytheory a space information entropy that can measurethe overall deformation condition was established

(3) Multistage warning indicators against overall defor-mation of concrete dam under the influences of fuzzi-ness and randomness were determined and nondeter-ministic optimal control of the indicator was achievedto improve the competence of warning against thedeformation of concrete dam

5 Proposed Multistage FuzzyInformation Entropy of OverallDeformation Warning Indicators

Horizontal displacement of dam crest changes in an annualcycle ldquoupstream and downstream switchrdquo Therefore thisdisplacement should be in a certain scale and be controlledunder somemonitoring indicators for the safe damoperation

the lower limit of this indicator and 12057511is the upper limit

the lower limit of this indicator and 12057512is the upper limit

When 12057511gt 1205750

indicator and secondary indicator when both of them shouldbe categorized according to the membership of displacementmeasured 120575lowast was introduced because the membership ofdisplacement at this point is the same Figure 7 showsdiagram of multistage fuzzy information entropy warningindicators

The primary fuzzy warning indicator is 12057510158401= (1205750

Shapiro-Wilk test andKolmogorov-Smirnov test can bothtest whether the samples obey normal distribution or not Butthe Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applicable to fewer samplesIt can not only test if the samples are subject to normaldistribution but also test if samples are subject to otherdistributions The basic idea of the K-S test is to comparethe cumulative frequency of the observed value (119865

119899(119909)) with

the assumed theoretical probability distribution (119865119909(119909)) to

construct statisticsAccording to the method of empirical distribution func-

6 Example Analysis

61 Project Profile One flat-slab deck dam built with rein-forced concrete is an important part of one river basin cascadeexploitation The elevation of this dam crest is 13770m andthe height of biggest part is about 43m the crest runs 2250min length and is made of 27 flat-slab buttresses with a span of75m The space between the left side of 2 buttress and theright side of 9 buttress is the joint part the overflow buttressis located from the 9 buttress to the 20 buttress the rest isthe water-retaining buttressTheworkshop buttress is locatedfrom the 5 buttress to the 8 buttress In this dam the levelof deadwater is 1220m the normal highwater level is 1310m(in practice it is 1290m) the design flood level is 1367m andthe check flood level is 1375m To monitor the displacementof this dam a direct plumb line and an inverted plumb linewere arranged in four buttresses 4 9 21 and 24There isa crushed zone under the dam foundation where occurrenceis N20∘sim25∘W SWang70∘sim80∘ the maximum width is about3m and the narrowest place is about 1mThere is an elevationclip joint mud at level 91m

The deformation field characterized by the observationpoint at 21 should be typical and is a key point because it isin the riverbedThus the observation point G21 at the heightof 134m along the direct plumb line at 21 was analyzed aswell as point 27 at the height of 118m along this line andpoint 28 at the height of 107mAll these valuesmeasuredweretransformed into absolute displacement The arrangement ofeach point is shown in Figure 8 The daily monitoring dataseries is from January 1 2003 to December 31 2013

In this paper two-stage warning indicators were setaccording to the practical running of this project and danger120572 = 5 is the primary warning that is mainly used to discri-minate and handle early dangerous case and the reliabilityindex of dam failure is 95 whereas 120572 = 1 is the secondarywarning that is mainly used to determine grave danger andprevent urgent danger and the reliability index of dam failureis 99

random factors The results of the specific studies are asfollows

(1) Influences of fuzziness and randomness of randomfactors on the long-term service of dam were dis-cussed a fuzziness indicator that measures the influ-ence of random factors on monitoring value wasconstructed through cloud model

(2) Equivalent model of overall deformation was pro-posed In the model the overall deformation ofdam was regarded as a deformation system whereeach observation point had different contributions(weights) and affected one another Based on entropytheory a space information entropy that can measurethe overall deformation condition was established

(3) Multistage warning indicators against overall defor-mation of concrete dam under the influences of fuzzi-ness and randomness were determined and nondeter-ministic optimal control of the indicator was achievedto improve the competence of warning against thedeformation of concrete dam

Shapiro-Wilk test andKolmogorov-Smirnov test can bothtest whether the samples obey normal distribution or not Butthe Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applicable to fewer samplesIt can not only test if the samples are subject to normaldistribution but also test if samples are subject to otherdistributions The basic idea of the K-S test is to comparethe cumulative frequency of the observed value (119865

119899(119909)) with

the assumed theoretical probability distribution (119865119909(119909)) to

construct statisticsAccording to the method of empirical distribution func-

tion segmented cumulative frequency is obtained by usingthe following formula

6 Example Analysis

61 Project Profile One flat-slab deck dam built with rein-forced concrete is an important part of one river basin cascadeexploitation The elevation of this dam crest is 13770m andthe height of biggest part is about 43m the crest runs 2250min length and is made of 27 flat-slab buttresses with a span of75m The space between the left side of 2 buttress and theright side of 9 buttress is the joint part the overflow buttressis located from the 9 buttress to the 20 buttress the rest isthe water-retaining buttressTheworkshop buttress is locatedfrom the 5 buttress to the 8 buttress In this dam the levelof deadwater is 1220m the normal highwater level is 1310m(in practice it is 1290m) the design flood level is 1367m andthe check flood level is 1375m To monitor the displacementof this dam a direct plumb line and an inverted plumb linewere arranged in four buttresses 4 9 21 and 24There isa crushed zone under the dam foundation where occurrenceis N20∘sim25∘W SWang70∘sim80∘ the maximum width is about3m and the narrowest place is about 1mThere is an elevationclip joint mud at level 91m

The deformation field characterized by the observationpoint at 21 should be typical and is a key point because it isin the riverbedThus the observation point G21 at the heightof 134m along the direct plumb line at 21 was analyzed aswell as point 27 at the height of 118m along this line andpoint 28 at the height of 107mAll these valuesmeasuredweretransformed into absolute displacement The arrangement ofeach point is shown in Figure 8 The daily monitoring dataseries is from January 1 2003 to December 31 2013

In this paper two-stage warning indicators were setaccording to the practical running of this project and danger120572 = 5 is the primary warning that is mainly used to discri-minate and handle early dangerous case and the reliabilityindex of dam failure is 95 whereas 120572 = 1 is the secondarywarning that is mainly used to determine grave danger andprevent urgent danger and the reliability index of dam failureis 99

random factors The results of the specific studies are asfollows

(1) Influences of fuzziness and randomness of randomfactors on the long-term service of dam were dis-cussed a fuzziness indicator that measures the influ-ence of random factors on monitoring value wasconstructed through cloud model

(2) Equivalent model of overall deformation was pro-posed In the model the overall deformation ofdam was regarded as a deformation system whereeach observation point had different contributions(weights) and affected one another Based on entropytheory a space information entropy that can measurethe overall deformation condition was established

(3) Multistage warning indicators against overall defor-mation of concrete dam under the influences of fuzzi-ness and randomness were determined and nondeter-ministic optimal control of the indicator was achievedto improve the competence of warning against thedeformation of concrete dam

Shapiro-Wilk test andKolmogorov-Smirnov test can bothtest whether the samples obey normal distribution or not Butthe Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is applicable to fewer samplesIt can not only test if the samples are subject to normaldistribution but also test if samples are subject to otherdistributions The basic idea of the K-S test is to comparethe cumulative frequency of the observed value (119865

119899(119909)) with

the assumed theoretical probability distribution (119865119909(119909)) to

construct statisticsAccording to the method of empirical distribution func-

tion segmented cumulative frequency is obtained by usingthe following formula

6 Example Analysis

61 Project Profile One flat-slab deck dam built with rein-forced concrete is an important part of one river basin cascadeexploitation The elevation of this dam crest is 13770m andthe height of biggest part is about 43m the crest runs 2250min length and is made of 27 flat-slab buttresses with a span of75m The space between the left side of 2 buttress and theright side of 9 buttress is the joint part the overflow buttressis located from the 9 buttress to the 20 buttress the rest isthe water-retaining buttressTheworkshop buttress is locatedfrom the 5 buttress to the 8 buttress In this dam the levelof deadwater is 1220m the normal highwater level is 1310m(in practice it is 1290m) the design flood level is 1367m andthe check flood level is 1375m To monitor the displacementof this dam a direct plumb line and an inverted plumb linewere arranged in four buttresses 4 9 21 and 24There isa crushed zone under the dam foundation where occurrenceis N20∘sim25∘W SWang70∘sim80∘ the maximum width is about3m and the narrowest place is about 1mThere is an elevationclip joint mud at level 91m

The deformation field characterized by the observationpoint at 21 should be typical and is a key point because it isin the riverbedThus the observation point G21 at the heightof 134m along the direct plumb line at 21 was analyzed aswell as point 27 at the height of 118m along this line andpoint 28 at the height of 107mAll these valuesmeasuredweretransformed into absolute displacement The arrangement ofeach point is shown in Figure 8 The daily monitoring dataseries is from January 1 2003 to December 31 2013

In this paper two-stage warning indicators were setaccording to the practical running of this project and danger120572 = 5 is the primary warning that is mainly used to discri-minate and handle early dangerous case and the reliabilityindex of dam failure is 95 whereas 120572 = 1 is the secondarywarning that is mainly used to determine grave danger andprevent urgent danger and the reliability index of dam failureis 99

random factors The results of the specific studies are asfollows

(1) Influences of fuzziness and randomness of randomfactors on the long-term service of dam were dis-cussed a fuzziness indicator that measures the influ-ence of random factors on monitoring value wasconstructed through cloud model

(2) Equivalent model of overall deformation was pro-posed In the model the overall deformation ofdam was regarded as a deformation system whereeach observation point had different contributions(weights) and affected one another Based on entropytheory a space information entropy that can measurethe overall deformation condition was established

(3) Multistage warning indicators against overall defor-mation of concrete dam under the influences of fuzzi-ness and randomness were determined and nondeter-ministic optimal control of the indicator was achievedto improve the competence of warning against thedeformation of concrete dam

Figure 10 The process line of temperature

62 Calculating the Contribution of Deformation at theObservation Point to the Overall Deformation Figures 9-10 show the upstream stage hydrograph and temperaturestage hydrograph respectively The water stage remainedunchanged whereas the temperature changed in the annualcycle Figure 11 shows the relationship between informationentropy of overall deformation and temperature in 2007 Anegative correlation exists between the overall deformationof 21 buttress and temperature that is an increase in tem-perature corresponds to the decrease in upstream or down-stream displacement and a decrease in temperature meansan increase in the upstream or downstream displacementFigure 12 shows the correlation between the displacementat observation point G21 and the temperature The overalldeformation law is roughly identical with that at observationpoint G21

Figure 12 reveals that the temperature obviously influ-enced overall deformation that is the temperature canchange the contribution of single observation point to theoverall deformation Temperature change was divided intothe stage of temperature rise and stage of temperature drop

random factors The results of the specific studies are asfollows

(1) Influences of fuzziness and randomness of randomfactors on the long-term service of dam were dis-cussed a fuzziness indicator that measures the influ-ence of random factors on monitoring value wasconstructed through cloud model

(2) Equivalent model of overall deformation was pro-posed In the model the overall deformation ofdam was regarded as a deformation system whereeach observation point had different contributions(weights) and affected one another Based on entropytheory a space information entropy that can measurethe overall deformation condition was established

(3) Multistage warning indicators against overall defor-mation of concrete dam under the influences of fuzzi-ness and randomness were determined and nondeter-ministic optimal control of the indicator was achievedto improve the competence of warning against thedeformation of concrete dam
