In the context of dam deformation monitoring, the prediction task is essentially a time series prediction problem that involves non-stationarity and complex influencing factors. To enhance the accuracy of predictions and address the challenges posed by high randomness and parameter selection in LSTM models, a novel approach called sparrow search algorithm–long short-term memory (SSA–LSTM) has been proposed for predicting the deformation of concrete dams. SSA–LSTM combines the SSA optimization algorithm with LSTM to automatically optimize the model’s parameters, thereby enhancing the prediction performance. Firstly, a concrete dam was used as an example to preprocess the historical monitoring data by cleaning, normalizing, and denoising, and due to the specificity of the data structure, multi-level denoising of abnormal data was performed. Second, some of the data were used to train the model, and the hyperparameters of the long and short-term memory neural network model (LSTM) were optimized by the SSA algorithm to better match the input data with the network structure. Finally, high-precision prediction of concrete dam deformation was carried out. The proposed model in this study significantly improves the prediction accuracy in dam deformation forecasting and demonstrates effectiveness in long-term time series deformation prediction. The model provides a reliable and efficient approach for evaluating the long-term stability of dam structures, offering valuable insights for engineering practices and decision-making.

Aiming to investigate the problem that dam-monitoring data are difficult to analyze in a timely and accurate automated manner, in this paper, we propose an automated framework for dam health monitoring based on data microservices. The framework consists of structural components, monitoring sensors, and a digital virtual model, which is a hybrid of a finite element (FE) model, a geometric model, a mathematical model, and a deep learning algorithm. Long short-term memory (LSTM) was employed to accurately fit and predict the monitoring data, while dynamic inversion and simulation were used to calibrate and update the data in the hybrid model. The automated tool enables systematic maintenance and management, minimizing errors that are commonly associated with manual visual inspections of structures. The effectiveness of the framework was successfully validated in the safety monitoring and management of a practical dam project, in which the hybrid model improved the prediction accuracy of monitored data, with a maximum absolute error of 0.35 mm. The proposed method can be considered user-friendly and cost-effective, which improves the operational and maintenance efficiency of the project with practical significance.

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the modeling and design work of the sluice gate project, this paper proposes an automatic generation template of the sluice gate project with customized semantics and project layout scheme, aiming at realizing the rapid assembling of all kinds of components of the sluice gate project. In the construction process, this paper first starts from basic parametric modeling and proposes constraints as the basis of modeling. Subsequently, a template library framework is developed based on the constraints to ensure that the generated templates have a high degree of standardization and consistency. Finally, an efficient and flexible template library is successfully constructed by using the customized classes and functions of Revit API, which provides powerful technical support for the modeling and design work of sluice gate engineering. This achievement helps to promote the informationization and intelligent development of the water conservancy engineering industry, and its versatility and scalability also make it have a wide range of application prospects in other water conservancy engineering fields.
