Settlement Research and Prediction on Soft Clay Foundation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Soft clay can be found in many places around the country of China. Along with the rapid economic development in coastal areas, civil engineers could meet many soft soils. These settlements appear quickly and may continue for a long period of time due to the consolidation behavior. This paper investigates the deformation characteristics of soft clay foundation from trial dates. Support Vector Machine model is proposed to predict settlement of soft clay. The settlement forecasting show Support Vector Machine method has advantages in its simple structure excellent capability in studying and good application prospects. The results of this study proves the elasto-viscoplastic model rationality based on laboratory test and have shown the SVM approach has the potential to be a practical tool for predicting settlement of soft clay foundation.
