Research on 3D Dredged Soil Visualization Analysis of Qinhuangdao Harbor Project

Abstract:

In order to rapidly, accurately and vividly provide plenty of underwater soil analysis information for design and construction in dredging engineering, this paper took Qinhuangdao harbor project as an example, introducing a three-dimensional underwater soil modeling method and establishing the 3D unified soil solid model of Qinhuangdao harbor. The model has a small amount of data storage, high precision and is easy to operate graphical computing. Based on the model, and with 3D visualization technology, a series of soil visual analysis were conducted, including virtual digital drilling, arbitrary cutting analysis and water depth elevation analysis. Moreover, the model could quickly output scene graph, 2D cross-section and isoline map. Practical engineering applications indicate that 3D dredged soil visualization helps engineers to understand the space distribution of underwater soil. The proposed method can provide a convenient support tool for dredging engineering soil analysis.
