The Application of BP Neural Network in Settlement Prediction of Highway Soft Foundation
Yi Xue, Zheng Cao, Shan Ting Liu · Advanced materials research · 2011
In view of the settlement of highway soft foundation, the paper proposes a method to predict soft foundation settlement based on BP neural network model, taking advantage of the strong non-linear mapping and learning ability of BP neural network. Then it is compared with the three-point method, obtaining some useful conclusions. Since the BP neural network model is directly based on real samples, it could avoid the mistakes due to factitiousness in the three-point method. It is proved that the BP neural network model is accurate and the settlement has least error.
