Abstract

This paper presents a method that enables a finite element (FE) model of shield tunnels to update the geometric changes caused by cracks, using computer vision (CV) techniques and geometric analyses. Currently, there is a shortage of research on the automatic utilization of tunnel damage detection information for updating FE models. Thus, the objective of this study is to automate the process from tunnel damage detection to numerical analyses in order to quickly evaluate the structural capacity. The Segment Anything Model (SAM) and CV techniques are employed to determine the shapes and dimensions of both tunnel components and damages. Geometric analyses are utilized to develop algorithms that automatically transform coordinates and select elements of FE models for updating the geometric changes. A tunnel segment test is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique and algorithms.
