Application of Curve Model Fitting Methods to Settlement Prediction

Abstract:

Both Hyperbolic model and Logistic curve model have certain applicability to settlement prediction of soft sub-grade. Based on the observational settlement data of soft sub-grade in an industrial zone, the features of Hyperbolic model and Logistic curve model are studied. By using curve fitting methods with Origin software to predict the sub-grade settlement value and analyze the simulation results, compare these two models to determine which one is more reasonable. The results show that the Logistic curve model is more accurate and reasonable, it has the value of popularization and application in engineering.
