Abstract
The ground loss caused by earth pressure balance (EPB) shield tunneling is a serious threat to the safety of ground and underground buildings. The amount of soil discharged is a direct factor causing the ground loss, but the feedback of the amount of soil discharged has the problems of human subjectivity and information lag. Based on the theory of soil discharged and shield construction data, a data model for predicting the amount of soil discharged is constructed, and a predictive method of soil discharged based on adaptive adjustment strategy and parameters to achieve optimal regression is proposed. Taking Changzhou shield tunnel construction project as an example, through comparative analysis, the main influencing factors of soil discharge data model are screw-conveyor torque, screw-conveyor revolutions, total thrust, screw-conveyor entrance earth pressure, the revised standard penetration test blow-count, and compression modulus. The results show that the mean absolute error (MAE) of the model is 0.911 m3, and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is 2.78%, which verifies the effectiveness of the prediction of soil discharged by feature engineering
