  • Objective

    The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rock is an important parameter in geotechnical engineering, as well as accurately determining its value is crucial for engineering design.

    Methods

    This study proposed a machine learning model based on a multi-layer perceptron-Artificial Neural Network (MLP-ANN) to predict the UCS of rock. The model takes lithology, joint surfaces, Schmidt hammer rebound height, and P-wave velocity as input parameters, and applies min-max normalization to standardize these parameters. Additionally, k-fold cross-validation is used to improve the model’s generalization ability. To further optimize model performance, the paper explores the impact of the number of neurons, data splitting ratio, and activation function on prediction results.

    Results

    Through comparative validation, the study determines the optimal model configuration: 8 neurons, a training-to-testing ratio of 8∶2, and the Tanh activation function. The comparison between predicted and actual values shows that the optimal model achieves an average absolute error of 3.500 MPa and a root mean square error of 5.836 MPa.

    Conclusion

    These results indicate that the model has a small prediction error and high accuracy, illustrating good practicality.
