Improved support vector regression models for predicting rock mass parameters using tunnel boring machine driving data
Highlights Prediction method of rock mass parameters, which is based on TBM data, is proposed. The models of UCS, BI, DPW, and α are established based on 180 field samples. SVR method is improved by stacked single-target for establishing the model. The models have accurate and reliable prediction results of rock mass parameters.
Abstract The sensitivity of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) to complex rock mass parameters makes the accurate and reliable prediction of these parameters crucial for the selection of reasonable operational parameters and the reduction of construction project risks. We introduce and verify a TBM driving data–based method for predicting rock mass parameters including the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), brittleness index (BI), distance between planes of weakness (DPW), and orientation of discontinuities (α). For this purpose, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, namely support vector regression (SVR), is improved by the stacked single-target (SST) technique and used to establish rock mass parameter prediction models. A dataset of 180 samples is established based on parameters from the 4th section of the Water Supply Project from Songhua River, with 150 randomly selected samples used for training. The constructed models are applied to the remaining 30 samples, and the mean squared percentage error (MSPE) of prediction results for UCS, BI, DPW, and α are determined as 3.0%, 4.6%, 3.0%, and 2.5%, respectively, while the respective determination coefficients (R2) are obtained as 0.83, 0.75, 0.63, and 0.63. The above results are better than the results of common SVR method, and show that the developed models can effectively simulate rock mass parameters and their sudden changes, i.e., the prediction of these parameters based on TBM driving data is both feasible and practical. Moreover, the initial models are used on the dataset, the comparison between their results and the results of proposed models verify the positive effect of the SST on SVR method.
