Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Ground Settlement in Twin-Tunnel Excavation: A Case Study from Dongguan Metro Line 1
摘要
Accurate prediction of ground settlement is essential for risk management in urban twin-tunnel projects, where complex geological heterogeneity and tunnel interaction effects pose significant challenges. This study develops an advanced machine learning framework incorporating Bayesian-optimized Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest (RF), Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and Back-Propagation Neural Networks (BPNN), with key methodological innovations including a novel three-dimensional soil layer parameter calibration method and explicit quantification of twin-tunnel interaction effects using monitoring data from the Dongguan Metro Line 1 project. The optimized DNN model attained exceptional prediction accuracy for the leading tunnel (
