Artificial Neural Network's Application in Intelligent Prediction of Surface Settlement Induced by Foundation Pit Excavation

Surface settlement will take place while foundation pit building and it is one of important problems in foundation pit engineering. The influencing factors are complex and there are stochastic and fuzzy properties in them, which have brought difficulties to the ground settlement predication. The traditional methods are inadequate when they are used to analyze and predict the surface settlement. In this paper, the authors established an intelligent ground settlement analysis method and solved these problems. Practices show that the accuracy of the method can meet the application requirements, with some merits, such as, high efficiency, use of convenience, suitable for engineering applications, and so on, so the research results have certain engineering and technical value.
