Research on Pile Bearing Capacity Prediction Model Based on Optimized Random Forests
摘要
For assessing the safety performance of a structure in service, the ultimate pile bearing capacity is an important parameter. The literature indicates that experimental data on pile bearing capacity can be utilized to make quick and accurate predictions. Random forest is employed for these predictions, while five distinct algorithms are utilized to optimize the process: PSO, SSA, WSO, GWO, and DBO are all optimization algorithms used in engineering and computer science. These algorithms are designed to solve complex optimization problems by mimicking the behavior of animals in their natural habitats. An unused subset is selected randomly and evaluated with appropriate metrics to assess the model. Based on the results, the R2 values for the five models are 0.9103, 0.8766, 0.9410, 0.9133, and 0.9687 for RF-PSO, RF-SSA, RF-WSO, RF-GWO and RF-DBO. As far as Mean Absolute Percentage (MAP) is concerned, the RF-DBO model has the lowest optimal MAP. The RF-DBO prediction model has the lowest RMSE (3.6232) and MAPE among all models, making it the most accurate, stable, and effective in predicting pile capacity. It outperforms the RF-PSO, RF-WSO, and RF-GWO models in these categories.
