Offline and passive manner is conventionally adopted to monitor dam safety.From the viewpoint of system engineering,one dam can be regarded as an open,complicated and gigantic system.Its structural characteristics need be analyzed by the scientific integration of many subjects on information,artificial intelligence,material,engineering and management.A system implementing the fusion of theories and methods is presented in this paper.The system structure is composed of four fusion levels such as data,analysis,diagnosis and evaluation.The positive-thinking pattern is transformed into converse,systemic and feedback mode.The theories of knowledge engineering and information processing are crossed with traditionary mathematics and mechanics.The basic principles and representative methods on intelligent fusion are proposed in this paper.Dam safety can be monitored dynamically in real time by the proposed thought and methods.
