| 總結: | This study presents a 3D fracture network modeling approach for designing curtain grouting systems in building foundations, utilizing geological mapping data from the Dongzhuang Project. A one-dimensional Markov chain model is applied to simulate the transitions in fracture density, while fracture orientation and size are characterized using Fisher and statistical distribution models. To enhance the prediction accuracy, a correction method is introduced to refine the transition matrices. The model’s reliability is validated using tunnel wall fracture data and borehole detection, demonstrating strong agreement in both trend and magnitude. In under 100,000 simulations, when the allowable absolute error is set to 1, the optimal accuracy can reach 80%. Reliability analysis confirms the robustness of the approach, with 99.91% of predictions within a ± 2 error margin. The final fracture network model effectively captures spatial heterogeneity and fracture penetration across various foundation layers; the spatial distribution density index of fractures can provide a reference basis for optimizing the layout of impermeable curtains in complex geological conditions. This integrated modeling approach offers a reliable tool for improving grouting strategies in building foundation projects and other civil infrastructure. |
