The compression index
In this study, we introduce Piezocone Penetration Test (CPTU) in-situ data and quantify soil layer information using the Soil Behaviour Type (SBT) index
The results demonstrate that the pre-trained multi-output GA-BPNN model, derived from standard site data, can effectively predict the compression and swell indices under limited data conditions. When combined with in-situ test data, the multi-output GA-BPNN model exhibits high prediction accuracy for these indices, with predicted values closely matching measured data. The consistency of the predicted results aligns well with existing studies.
The pre-trained multi-output GA-BPNN model can efficiently predict the compression and swell indices of soft soil under limited data conditions. The proposed method shows significant potential for multi-parameter prediction in engineering practice, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of geotechnical engineering assessments.
