Abstract
- • Developing optimized neural network-based models for trapdoor stability prediction. • New FELA solutions for 3D rectangular trapdoors in anisotropic clays. • Developing hybrid machine learning models based on ANNs with various optimization algorithms. • Examining several performance metrics, regression plots, and rank analysis. The problem of trapdoor stability is a crucial problem in geotechnical engineering. This study is the first to introduce novel neural network-based metaheuristic models for the stability prediction of 3D rectangular trapdoors in anisotropic and nonhomogeneous clays. However, no researcher has considered such trapdoor problems in the past. In this study, the dataset is obtained by using finite element limit analysis (FELA). The proposed hybrid machine learning models based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) and various types of optimization algorithms (OAs), namely, ant colony optimization (ACO), artificial lion optimization (ALO), the imperialist competition algorithm (ICA), and shuffled complex evolution (SCE), are also proposed in this paper by undergoing rigorous optimization to ensure accuracy and efficiency in capturing the intricate dynamics of the stability investigations from the models. The performance of the proposed ANN-based models is assessed using several performance metrics, regression plots, and rank analysis. The proposed ANN-SCE model outperforms the other proposed models in predicting trapdoor stability, where the ANN-SCE model achieved the highest rank, with a score of 58, followed by the ANN-ALO (47), ANN-ICA (33), and ANN-ACO (22) models. The proposed neural network-based metaheuristic models deliver precise and effective forecasts of trapdoor stability to make informed decisions concerning road design and mitigation tactics, ultimately improving the robustness of infrastructure facing geotechnical challenges.
