[0116] Embodiment 2, referring to Tables 1-4, is a second embodiment of the application, which provides experimental simulation data of the seawall settlement intelligent prediction method to further verify the technical solution of the application.

[0117] Step 1: Collect basic data to establish a surrogate model.

[0118] In this study, a real soft foundation project in Shaoxing, China was selected as the verification object, and a settlement prediction method based on a multi-data assimilation ensemble smoother (ES-MDA) was used for evaluation. According to the drilling exploration and cone penetration test (CPT) data, the soil profile can be divided into six layers of soil structure on the weathered bedrock, including a 1-meter-thick top weathered layer, a 3.8-meter-thick silty clay layer, a 9.5-meter-thick extremely soft silt clay layer, a 3.9-meter-thick silt silty clay layer, a 4.8-meter-thick silty clay layer, and a 2-meter-thick clayey sand layer. A 0.5-meter-thick sand cushion and a 5.38-meter-thick filling layer are set above the ground surface.

[0119] The monitoring system is deployed as follows: Settlement plates (SP) are installed at the center, sides, and toe of the slope; pore water pressure gauges (P) are arranged at different depths along the centerline. Precast vertical drainage boards (PVDs) are arranged in a triangular pattern at 1.5-meter intervals, with a depth of 19 meters. The engineering geometric profile and the filling construction sequence are shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0120] The PLAXIS 2D V20 software was used to perform a half-section finite element simulation of the soft soil foundation project: the left and right boundaries were fixed with horizontal displacement, and the bottom boundary was fixed with both horizontal and vertical displacement; the surface and bottom were set as permeable boundaries, and the left and right sides were set as impermeable boundaries (finite element model see...). Figure 4 The five cohesive soil layers were modeled using the Modified Cambridge (MCC) model, while the fill layer and clayey sand layer were modeled using the Mohr-Coulomb (MC) model. Soil parameters (Table 1) include unit weight γ, initial void ratio e0, elastic modulus E', Poisson's ratio ν, and compression index C. C Compression parameters , rebound parameter κ, slope of critical state line Horizontal permeability coefficient and vertical permeability coefficient The compression index C C The permeability coefficient was determined through consolidation tests. and The results were obtained through specialized permeability tests on soil samples in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Convert the compression index to C C Compression parameters And set the springback parameter κ to .

[0121] Table 1 Soil parameters

[0122]

[0123] To simultaneously reflect the vertical drainage effect of the natural foundation and the radial drainage effect caused by the installation of PVDs, an equivalent vertical permeability coefficient is used in the finite element model. This method simplifies the drainage behavior of PVD-reinforced foundations to that of untreated foundations. Equivalent vertical permeability coefficient. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0124] ;

[0125] in, The horizontal permeability coefficient; The vertical permeability coefficient; D is the length of the drainage path.e For the influence zone diameter, its value is 1.05S L (S L For the PVDs spacing); For the PVDs geometry factor, its expression is:

[0126] ;

[0127] Where, , For the drain diameter, its expression is ( For the drain width, d is the drain thickness); , Represents the smear zone diameter; For the smear zone horizontal hydraulic conductivity; For the drain flow. The parameters related to PVDs are summarized in Table 2.

[0128] Table 2. Parameters related to PVDs behavior

[0129]

[0130] The soil parameters that need to be updated are the compression index of the five layers of soil below the fill layer and the equivalent vertical hydraulic conductivity of the four layers of soil below the fill layer This choice is based on the following considerations: the compression index directly reflects the compressibility of the soil, has a significant impact on the consolidation settlement, and the soil modulus itself has a high degree of uncertainty. The permeability coefficient parameter is also sensitive to consolidation calculations, and its variability has been confirmed by many studies. Since the total thickness of the SC2 layer is 4.8 meters, and the insertion depth of the PVDs is only 0.8 meters, the drainage path does not penetrate the entire layer, so the influence of PVDs on the equivalent permeability coefficient of the SC2 layer is ignored. The prior distribution of parameters and is listed in Table 3, with the mean values determined by consolidation tests and permeability tests, and the coefficient of variation (COV) set to 0.5 ( ) and 1 ( ), respectively.

[0131] The settlement monitoring data were collected from settlement plates at the center line, with 28 monitoring time points corresponding to the 131st, 148th, 154th, 155th, 162nd, 173rd, 181st, 196th, 212th, 228th, 237th, 257th, 265th, 281st, 301st, 314th, 344th, 381st, 412th, 461st, 496th, 537th, 580th, 629th, 693rd, 782nd, 860th, and 1013th days, respectively. The monitoring frequency was higher in the early stage and gradually decreased as the deformation rate tended to be stable. Assuming that the settlement observation error was Gaussian white noise with a standard deviation of 0.02 meters, the collection size of ES-MDA was set to 500, and the total number of iterations N iter was set to 8.

[0132] Table 3 Prior distribution of random variables

[0133]

[0134] Considering the time series characteristics of soil settlement, a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network was used to construct a seawall proxy model: the input was the soil parameters listed in Table 3, and the output was the settlement value at each monitoring time. The training set and test set of the LSTM model used 2000 and 400 sets of numerical simulation data, respectively, and the input parameters were generated within the mean ± three times the standard deviation range through Latin hypercube sampling.

[0135] The LSTM model used mean square error (MSE) as the loss function, and the Adam optimizer with a default learning rate of 0.001 was used to balance convergence stability and training efficiency. The network used a double hidden layer structure with 128 neurons in each layer to effectively capture the time series characteristics. The hyperparameters were determined by grid search: by comparing different combinations of the number of hidden layers (1 / 2 / 3 layers) and the number of neurons (64 / 128 / 256), the double hidden layer with 128 neurons in each layer was finally selected, which had the highest coefficient of determination (R²) on the validation set. In addition, the grid search also optimized the batch size and the number of training rounds, and finally determined the batch size as 16 and the number of training rounds as 100. The LSTM model hyperparameters are summarized in Table 4.

[0136] Table 4 LSTM model parameter settings

[0137]

[0138] Figure 5 The settlement calculation results of the finite element model and the LSTM model at the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th monitoring time were compared. The average coefficient of determination (R²) of the LSTM model reached 0.97, and most of the data points were closely distributed near the diagonal line, indicating that it had high prediction accuracy and could be used as a forward model to replace the finite element analysis in ES-MDA.

[0139] Step 2: Uncertainty parameter updating (ES-MDA)

[0140] Figure 6 The compression parameters (Cc) 1~ 5) and the equivalent permeability coefficients (Kz) 1~ 4) are shown in the probability density function (PDF) dynamic updating process in time series (stage = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25). By comparing the prior (stage 0) and posterior distribution characteristics, it is found that, in general, the posterior PDF curve is more concentrated and narrower than the prior PDF curve. 2、 4 and 5's posterior distribution is shifted to the left as a whole, revealing that the mean of its prior distribution is too large, i.e., Cc divided by 2.3 is too large in this example. The PDF curve of the equivalent permeability coefficient Kz shows significant changes. The mean of the prior distribution at the initial time (stage 0) is generally smaller than that of the posterior distribution, meaning that the equivalent vertical permeability coefficient converted based on the test data is too large. In particular 2, its posterior distribution PDF curve is significantly shifted to the right compared to the prior distribution. As the amount of observation data increases, 1、 3 and 4's posterior PDF curve becomes more and more slender, indicating that the parameter uncertainty is decreasing. The PDF curve updating process shows that dynamic data assimilation can effectively correct the prior deviation of the parameters by continuously integrating observation data.

[0141] Step 3: Predicting seawall settlement values

[0142] Figure 7 The dynamic updating process of the settlement prediction results is shown as the amount of observation data increases. Figure 7The (a) to (f) in FIG. 6 respectively show the settlement predictions using the posterior samples of soil parameters after incorporating 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 observations, and the comparison with the predictions based on the prior distribution of soil parameters. The results show that the settlement predictions based on the prior distribution of soil parameters have a wide 95% confidence interval (CI), such as the 95% CI ranges from 1.7 m to 2.5 m when predicting the long-term settlement, such as the settlement at the 1000th day, and the prediction interval has a large uncertainty. There is a significant deviation between the mean value of the settlement prediction (indicated by the blue dashed line) obtained from the prior distribution of soil parameters and the measured value (circle point). Overall, as the observation data is gradually incorporated, the deviation between the posterior prediction mean value (indicated by the red solid line) and the measured value gradually decreases, and the 95% CI gradually narrows. Specifically, when 5 observation data points are fused, the deviation between the prediction mean value and the measured value significantly decreases; as the number of observation data points increases to 10, the prediction mean value is basically consistent with the measured value; however, when the number of observation data points increases to 15, the deviation between the prediction mean value and the measured value increases, mainly due to the sudden increase in the settlement rate of the 11th observation data point, resulting in an overestimation of the subsequent prediction results; as the number of observation data points continues to increase to 20 and 25, the deviation between the prediction mean value and the measured value decreases again, and the confidence interval further narrows. In addition, the posterior confidence interval is significantly narrower than the prior, and the uncertainty of the prediction is significantly reduced, verifying the effectiveness of the method in the dynamic updating process.

[0143] Figure 8 FIG. 6 shows the influence of the number of monitoring data on settlement prediction. Figure 8 (a) in FIG. 6 is the mean value of the settlement prediction when assimilating different numbers of monitoring data. The mean value of the settlement prediction obtained from the prior distribution and the mean value of the settlement prediction obtained from the posterior distribution of stage 1 are significantly deviated from the measured value. Overall, as the monitoring data is continuously assimilated, the fitting degree of the prediction mean value curve and the measured value gradually increases, and the improvement of the settlement prediction is more obvious when the first few monitoring values are assimilated. Figure 8 (b) in FIG. 6 shows the 95% prediction interval at different numbers of monitoring data. When using the prior distribution of soil parameters or after incorporating the initial monitoring data, the interval is mainly located in the upper left corner of the diagonal, meaning that the actual settlement is generally underestimated. As the number of assimilated monitoring data increases, the prediction interval gradually approaches the diagonal, and the interval width is significantly smaller, and the prediction deviation and uncertainty significantly decrease.

[0144] Figure 9The convergence characteristics of the predicted deposition amount at the 28th monitoring time (1013 days) with the data assimilation process are quantitatively analyzed, and the mean value of the posterior distribution and its 95% confidence interval are shown. In the early assimilation stage (≤11 monitoring times), the posterior mean gradually approaches the measured value, but the posterior distribution shows a wide confidence interval; with the continuous increase of the data amount (≥11 monitoring times), the confidence interval width tends to be stable, but the mean gradually deviates from the measured value; and after 15 monitoring times, the posterior mean again gradually approaches the measured value. In particular, the mean deviation phenomenon that occurs at the 11th-15th monitoring time is consistent in space and time with the sudden increase in prediction error of the corresponding interval in the middle Figure 8 In addition, the posterior distribution confidence interval of the last stage increases, which may be due to data noise.

[0145] Figure 10 The influence of the amount of observation data on the prediction error of the deposition is shown. The mean absolute error (MAE) is used as the error evaluation index, and its calculation formula is:

[0146] ;

[0147] Wherein, ( ) is the total number of samples, is the observation number, is the predicted value, is the measured value. The results show that: in the initial stage (i.e. when the first observation data point is fused), the prediction error of the deposition is significantly reduced, which verifies the preliminary effectiveness of data assimilation. With the gradual increase of the amount of observation data, the prediction error of the deposition generally shows a decreasing trend, and after 11 observation data points are fused, the error tends to be stable. However, when the observation data point increases to 11, the error appears a short-term increase, mainly due to the sudden increase of the deposition rate at this point, which increases the deviation between the predicted value and the measured value. After 15 observation data points are fused, with the gradual stabilization of the deposition rate, the error again shows a decreasing trend.
