Abstract:

To effectively optimize the shield construction parameters and achieve the goals of safety, efficiency, and energy-saving in the large-diameter slurry shield tunneling process, a hybrid intelligent algorithm combining categorical boosting (CatBoost) and decomposition was proposed based on a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEAD). The main shield construction parameters were set as the major research objects considering shield construction parameters and geological conditions, and the surface settlement, penetration rate, and tunneling-specific energy were determined as the prediction and control objectives. Moreover, the selected shield construction parameters were optimized, and a line of Wuhan rail transit was used to validate the hybrid algorithm performance. The results showed that the proposed CatBoost algorithm had great prediction performance for large-diameter slurry shields with the fitting accuracy (R2) of the three control objectives more than 0.9. The model's importance rank indicated that the total propulsion force and propulsion speed of the large-diameter slurry shield had significant influences on surface settlement, penetration, and tunneling-specific energy. The proposed CatBoost-MOEAD hybrid intelligent algorithm had an obvious optimization effect on the three control objectives, and the optimization ranges of surface settlement, penetration rate, and tunneling-specific energy reached 12.35%, 7.47%, and 10.70%, respectively. Moreover, the control ranges of corresponding shield construction parameters were presented.
