Abstract
Because of the uncertainties present in geology and construction processes, construction projects in underground cavern groups are typically characterized by high degrees of uncertainty. The real-time safety analysis of underground caverns during construction has been a key technological issue because previous three-dimensional simulations have commonly failed to consider the time-varying changes in construction schedules and geological conditions. Thus, this study couples a construction progress simulation with a real-time dynamic analysis of engineering safety. In this study, a real-time online safety analysis approach based on four-dimensional technology during the construction of underground caverns is introduced, and a dynamic visualization management system of safety information in underground caverns during construction is developed using the OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) Tao Framework and C#, with which integrated management of information related to safety, including geological information, construction progress information, monitoring information, and numerical simulation data, is considered. This study also demonstrates that real-time safety evaluation based on a construction safety information model during the construction of underground caverns is feasible and practical, as shown in a real example in China.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
