Machine Learning Methods to Predict and Analyse Unconfined Compressive Strength of Stabilised Soft Soil with Polypropylene Columns

In this study, several machine learning approaches are used for the prediction of the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of polypropylene-stabilised soft soil. This research work generates new data and applies several machine learning algorithms for the analysis of UCS. Fifty-two samples are in our generated data. In our generated data, five input features are used: Column Reinforcement Type, Column Diameter, Area replacement ratio,Column Penetration Ratio and Max_Deviator Stress. On the other hand, the output consists of three target stress class. Our experimental result shows that Random Forest (RF) provides good prediction result of unconfined compressive test (UCT) and that is satisfied. RF model gets result of mean absolute error of 0.0625, mean square root error of 0.0625, root mean sqrt…
