Multi-objective optimization of shield construction parameters based on random forests and NSGA-II

Metro shield construction will inevitably cause changes in the stress and strain state of the surrounding soil, resulting in stratum deformation and surface settlement (SS), which will seriously endanger the safety of nearby buildings, roads and underground pipe networks. Therefore, in the design and construction stage, optimizing the shield construction parameters (SCP) is the key to reducing the SS rate and increasing the safe driving speed (DS). However, optimization of existing SCP are challenged by the need to construct a unified multiobjective model for optimization that are efficient, convenient, and widely applicable. This paper innovatively proposes a hybrid intelligence framework that combines random forest (RF) and non-dominant classification genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), which overcomes the shortcomings of time-consuming and high cost for the establishment and verification of traditional prediction models. First, RF is used to rank the importance of 10 influencing factors, and the nonlinear mapping relationship between the main SCP and the two objectives is constructed as the fitness function of the NSGA-II algorithm. Second, a multiobjective optimization framework for RF-NSGA-II is established, based on which the optimal Pareto front is calculated, and reasonable optimized control ranges for the SCP are obtained. Finally, a case study in the Wuhan Rail Transit Line 6 project is examined. The results show that the SS is reduced by 12.5% and the DS is increased by 2.5% with the proposed framework. Meanwhile, the prediction results are compared with the back-propagation neural network (BPNN), support vector machine (SVM), and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT). The findings indicate that the RF-NSGA-II framework can not only meet the requirements of SS and DS calculation, but also used as a support tool for real-time optimization and control of SCP.     

Collineation measurement: A method for constructing the imperial citadel of Thang Long in harmony with nature

The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long is a crucial case in ancient Vietnam’s planning and design history. Although historical materials indicate that the orientation of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long has a dialectical unity relationship with the surroundingmountains, current research is only speculative generalization and lacks empirical analysis. Based on existing findings, this paper identifies the collineation measurement as a generalmethod in the Sinosphere countries for determining spatial orientation. Using a mixed-method of historical archives, fieldwork and simulation model, this paper summarizeshistorical cluesandthreedesignperspectives related to spatial orientation by statistical analysis. Further, it analyzes the logic and application of collineation measurement in constructing the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. The results show that Vietnamese designers used Tàn Viên Mountain as a component of Thang Long city by collineating the twomountain peaks to the west. Tàn Viên Mountain and the highlands extending eastward fromit are used as the key to establishing the position of the Imperial Citadel, setting the spatial structure of human settlements, and the development of city space. The location, layout, and formof important buildings in the Imperial Citadel are also closely related to the surrounding landscape within 50 km.

Tunnelling-induced response of a jointed pipeline and its equivalence to a continuous structure

The response of a jointed pipeline to tunnelling-induced ground settlement relies largely on the soil-pipe interaction. An analytical solution incorporating the Pasternak model is formulated here to estimate a jointed pipeline's deflection and bending moment. Subsequently, a procedure is proposed to transform the jointed pipeline to an equivalent continuous structure for a deflection evaluation. Case studies are conducted to verify the analytical solution, followed by parametric studies to assess the effects of the Pasternak model's parameters and the pipe joints. The analytical solution is validated by the experimental results in the literature. The parametric studies show that the number and distribution of the joints have a mild effect on the pipe deflection, whereas their influence on the pipe bending moment is significant. Similarly, the pipe bending moment is more sensitive than the pipe deflection to subgrade shear stiffness.     

厦门地铁车站基坑施工诱发地表沉降的经验#br# 预测方法研究

地铁建设的快速发展对于缓解国内大中城市的交通拥堵问题具有极其重要的意义,然而,轨道交通运营线路多通过城市的主要街区以及繁华商圈,车站周边地表受基坑开挖影响产生沉降等环境问题较为显著,须在支护设计阶段对其进行有效地预测及控制,以便最大程度地降低施工阶段发生工程灾害的机率。基于厦门地铁1号线车站建设过程中邻域地表沉降的监测数据,对实测沉降槽曲线进行归一化处理和统计分析,得出适用于厦门地区类似工程条件下地铁车站基坑施工诱发周边地表沉降的经验预测方法,为后续的地铁建设提供参考建议。     

软土地区基坑对周边环境影响空间效应分析

软土地区基坑开挖引起的变形具有明显的空间效应,为了进一步研究开挖引起周边地面及建构筑物变形的特性,结合对温州某大型深基坑工程的监测,从垂直于基坑围护墙以及平行于围护墙两个方向,对基坑外地面道路以及建筑物的沉降和裂缝情况进行了监测分析,总结了开挖引起基坑外地表沉降的分布特性,分析发现：基坑边角对围护墙变形以及地表沉降具有明显限制作用;在垂直于基坑方向上,处在沉降主要影响区2H_e范围内,建筑物均具有明显的差异沉降,最大角变量达到1/1300;平行基坑方向距离边角（0.4~1.2）H_e（最大开挖深度）范围观测到纵向裂缝,沉降变化率较大,可能破坏道路或建构筑物;此外,桩基础的建筑物总沉降以及差异沉降均明显小于条形基础建筑。     

基于生态-文化空间关联的乡土景观区划方法研究

迄今为止,在中国的城镇化进程中,乡土景观资源的保护与利用仍然是个未受到足够重视的薄弱环节。在社会格局剧变和文化高度融合的大背景下,隔离区域生态与文化特征的规划管理模式已无法适应人民对生活质量及其可持续性的更高追求。实现生态与文化视角的融合既是社会实践的要求也是学科发展的趋势。以福建北部地区为研究对象,在实施研究区生态与文化区划的基础上,以空间统计与地理信息技术为手段,验证了研究区生态与文化类型区的空间关联性,并据此构建了乡土景观分类及区划方法体系。对乡土景观区划成果在区域风景道规划及旅游资源空间管制等领域的应用途径做了初步探讨。本研究可视为是区域可持续发展战略中的有关乡土景观资源整合保护的一次有价值的实践探索。
