Artificial Neural Network Prediction Models for Soil Compaction and Permeability
Abstract This paper presents Artificial Neural Network (ANN) prediction models which relate permeability, maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content with classification properties of the soils. The ANN prediction models were developed from the results of classification, compaction and permeability tests, and statistical analyses. The test soils were prepared from four soil components, namely, bentonite, limestone dust, sand and gravel. These four components were blended in different proportions to form 55 different mixes. The standard Proctor compaction tests were adopted, and both the falling and constant head test methods were used in the permeability tests. The permeability, MDD and optimum moisture content (OMC) data were trained with the soil’s classification properties by using an available ANN software package. Three sets of ANN prediction models are developed, one each for the MDD, OMC and permeability (PMC). A combined ANN model is also developed to predict the values of MDD, OMC, and PMC. A comparison with the test data indicates that predictions within 95% confidence interval can be obtained from the ANN models developed. Practical applications of these prediction models and the necessary precautions for using these models are discussed in detail in this paper.
