Abstract: In order to address the problem of strong subjectivity and lack of consideration of nonlinear characteristics for existing subgrade earthquake damage prediction methods, Fuzzy-SVM prediction model based on BN was established by integrating engineering experience with historical seismic damage samples and by improving network parameter solving method. Fuzzy theory was used to solve prior probability of BN parameters, and SVM was used to solve their actual sample potential probability. Then, based on Bayesian principle, prior probability and actual sample potential probability were fused to obtain a prediction model which not only were consistent with engineering experience of earthquake damage, but also reflected nonlinear characteristics of historical samples. The results show that the prediction model features a accuracy rate of 80.95% when being applied to 42 subgrade hidden danger points in Wenchuan earthquake affected area. It has a higher accuracy than traditional machine learning method (represented by SVM) in the case of small samples. Moreover, it can effectively predict earthquake damage level when subgrade attributes are incomplete.
