摘要

Addressing the issue of surface settlement (SS) resulting from twin tunnel construction is a complex problem that requires the fine-tuning of numerous factors influenced by soil characteristics, tunnel geometry, and excavation methods. Modern solutions, such as machine learning (ML) and optimization algorithms, offer promising pathways to tackle this problem. This research investigates the efficacy of utilizing the Coati optimization algorithm (COA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and Bayesian Optimization (BO) in conjunction with tree-based ML models like random forest (RF), adaptive boost (ADABoost), gradient boosting tree (GBT), extreme gradient boost (XGBoost), light gradient boosting machine (LGBM), and categorical boosting (CATBoost) to reduce SS during twin tunnel excavation. The results indicate that COA achieves the minimum SS in fewer than 10 generations for all tree-based ML algorithms, suggesting it is the most efficient algorithm for identifying the minimum SS compared to the others. Additionally, the study reveals that three different optimization algorithms (COA, PSO, and BO) combined with GBT identified the lowest SS values of 0.94 mm, 0.88 mm, and 0.82 mm, respectively, all less than 1.00 mm. This demonstrates that GBT, when paired with optimization algorithms, can achieve the lowest SS caused by twin tunnels. This study underscores the effectiveness of optimization techniques in tunnel construction, highlighting their potential in addressing engineering challenges related to SS reduction.
