1 Introduction
Prediction of soft soil settlement has always been one of thetechnical problems in soft soil engineering As there aremanyfactors affecting the settlement of soft foundations how topredict the settlement of soft foundations correctly becomes acommon problem for researchers in design and constructionTo improve the accuracy calculation and prediction based onmeasured data are a general method in engineering at present[1] Commonly used deformation prediction methods basedon measured data include statistical analysis time seriesanalysis grey system theory Kalman filter and neural net-works but these have their limitations [2 3] Optimizing themodel and improving the prediction accuracy are an im-portant content of the deformation prediction modelAccording to the actual application research a single theoryor model is difficult to accurately predict the magnitude ofdeformation e close combination and comprehensive
comparison of multiple theoretical models is an effective wayto study the prediction of deformation [3 4] By integratingthe advantages of wavelet analysis with artificial neuralnetworks the wavelet neural network (WNN) has beenswiftly established and has played a key role in deformationmonitoring On the other hand as the economy has growncommunities have seen an increase in the number of high-rise structures e settling of the building foundation mustbe checked and anticipated to assure its safety during theconstruction and operation phases However due to thedifficulty of physical circumstances and the ambiguity of thecauses driving settlement using traditional certainty con-cepts to forecast settlement is extremely challenging Al-though the inclusion of WNN simplifies the problem it hasseveral drawbacks in its current form
e wavelet neural network (WNN) is a new explorationunder this guiding ideology which combines waveletanalysis and neural network successfully and thus provides a

3 Materials and Methodology
31 Materials Used during Our Research Work
311 Soft Soil Foundations Soft soil foundation consists ofsoft soil with finer particles and organic soil with wider gapsbecause its texture comprises mucky soil with silt and otherhighly compressible soils with clay components and siltcomponents [40] in fine soil particles e soft foundationsof soil are mostly based on the changes in soil foundationsproduced by geographical circumstances geological struc-tures and the soil conditionsrsquo features and qualities
(1) Characteristics of Soft Soil Foundation e majorcharacteristics of soft soil include low water permeabilityand high water content according to the basic attributes ofsoil However the water permeability is poor and the shear
strength is exceedingly low [41] e shear foot brake andcompression system with high compressibility or mucky soilgenerally exhibit considerable settlement after the externalload is transmitted to the foundation section As a resultconstructions erected on soft soil foundations such asbuildings roads and bridges have a significant inclinationor settlement It is straightforward to cause the injury andcrack of the building and therefore the increase of themacrospore which can cause the collapse of the buildingonce it is serious erefore the municipal constructionunits should actively analyze and study the soft soil foun-dation treatment and scientifically discover and take a lookat the shear resistance and cargo resistance level of the softsoil foundation [42]
(2)e Impact of Soft Soil Foundatione impact of soft soilfoundation can be seen in Figure 1 and its major compo-nents are as follows
(1) Poor bearing capacity due to the high water contentand tiny seepage of the soil conditions in soft soilfoundations the bearing strength of the foundationis fairly low making settlement foundations ex-tremely simple to produce posing a severe danger toresidentsrsquo travel quality [43]
(2) Large settlement the significant settlement is one ofthe features of a soft soil foundation e settlingfeatures of soft soil foundations will create additionaldifficulties for engineering building projects andpose a severe danger to the progress and quality ofengineering projects
(3) Strong compressibility the soft soil ductility isstrong due to the macrospore structure dependingon water content and soil quality [12] Duringconstruction the macrosporersquos soft soil layer is en-dangered which prevents appropriate controlmeasures from being taken and further impacts theefficiency and progress of the building and the sta-bility of the basee consequence is easy to dislocatethe path and the subgrade of the cityrsquos engineeringstructure collapses
312 Wavelet Neural Network Wavelet Networks are anovel network type that brings together traditional SigmoidNetworks (NNs) with Wavelet Analysis (WA) [43] estretch factor denoted by aj and the panning elementdenoted by bj are two new parameters introduced by thistechnique ese new parameters replace the respectiveweights and thresholds of the neural network by using thewave element to replace neurons and establish a connectionbetween the transforming and the neural networks throughan approximation of wavelet decomposition [25] ewavelet neural network contains three layers according toFigure 2 input layer hidden layer and layer output Duringthe forward propagation learning phase the data from theinput layer is processed and sent to the hidden layer edata is subsequently processed in the output layer by ahidden layer After that at the backpropagation stage the
Scientific Programming 3
output layer determines the output value of each unit bycomputing the difference between the output value and theintended output values Finally the weight to modify eachinput layer and the hidden layer is the product of eachreceiving unit error value and transmission unit activationvalue [44 45]
32 Methodology
321 Convergence Analysis After considering the WNNrsquoslimitations the main issue is poor convergence When thewavelet-based neural network uses the BP neural networkrsquosinitialization and training technique there will be poorconvergence difficulties and recommended improvements[7] is is due to the differing activation functions of thehidden layer nodes is article optimizes the initial pa-rameter selection technique as well as the network trainingmethod based on this
322 Optimization of the WNN
(1) Selection of Initial Values of Network Parameters einitialization of network parameters has an impact onwhether or not the networkrsquos subsequent learning con-verges and how quickly it converges Currently randomvalues are used to create the initial parameters of WNNswhich significantly increases the number of learning timesand even causes the network to fail to converge e authorsuggested an autocorrelation correction initial parametersetting technique in [46] which links the initial parametersettings of WNN with wavelet types wavelet time-fre-quency parameters and learning samples Excellentstarting parameters may be obtained with a high degree ofcertainty using this approach and the wavelet networkrsquosfollow-up learning speed will be substantially increased Asa result this article uses this approach to determine theinitial values of network parameters which will be dis-cussed further in this article

(2) Determination of the Network Structure In this sectionwe discuss the structure of our proposed Wavelet NeuralNetwork based on optimized scaled conjugate gradient al-gorithm for the prediction of soft soil foundation engi-neering settlement
(1) Number of hidden layers the researcher of [47]demonstrated that a three-layer neural networkmodel can handle general function fitting and ap-proximation issues Because settlement prediction isa function fitting issue a three-layer wavelet neuralnetwork will suffice
(2) Number of hidden layer nodes the number ofhidden layer nodes directly influences the networkrsquosgeneralization ability and training time therefore itis crucial in the development of the neural networkmodel ere is however no theoretical direction inthis area e primary approaches used in practicalapplications are testing or the use of empiricalequations [48]
is study presents an adaptive technique based onempirical formulas for obtaining a higher number of hiddenlayer nodes To begin use equation (1) to find the number ofhidden layer nodes and the maximum number of learningperiods for the network When the network reaches itsmaximum number of nodes the number of hidden layernodes will increase since it is still unable to fulfill the errorcriteria Similarly when the network does not meet thelearning number specified and the error criterion is fulfilledconcurrently the number of hidden layer nodes willdecrease

Here n is the number of input nodes m is the number ofoutput nodes is the number of hidden layer nodes and l is aconstant between one and twenty
323 Optimization of Learning Algorithm Because thetraditional BP network utilizes the steepest descent methodthe primary drawback is that this slows down networkconvergence and is readily confined to the best local solution[41] too For that reason there were several optimizationmethods among these for its similarity in nature to theSDBP algorithm but with a higher convergence time theconnected gradient algorithm is frequently employed fortackling big optimization issues For this reason the SCGmethod [49] is used in this article for network training in thecombined gradient algorithm e following is the proce-dure of detailed application

3 Materials and Methodology
31 Materials Used during Our Research Work
311 Soft Soil Foundations Soft soil foundation consists ofsoft soil with finer particles and organic soil with wider gapsbecause its texture comprises mucky soil with silt and otherhighly compressible soils with clay components and siltcomponents [40] in fine soil particles e soft foundationsof soil are mostly based on the changes in soil foundationsproduced by geographical circumstances geological struc-tures and the soil conditionsrsquo features and qualities
(1) Characteristics of Soft Soil Foundation e majorcharacteristics of soft soil include low water permeabilityand high water content according to the basic attributes ofsoil However the water permeability is poor and the shear
strength is exceedingly low [41] e shear foot brake andcompression system with high compressibility or mucky soilgenerally exhibit considerable settlement after the externalload is transmitted to the foundation section As a resultconstructions erected on soft soil foundations such asbuildings roads and bridges have a significant inclinationor settlement It is straightforward to cause the injury andcrack of the building and therefore the increase of themacrospore which can cause the collapse of the buildingonce it is serious erefore the municipal constructionunits should actively analyze and study the soft soil foun-dation treatment and scientifically discover and take a lookat the shear resistance and cargo resistance level of the softsoil foundation [42]
(2)e Impact of Soft Soil Foundatione impact of soft soilfoundation can be seen in Figure 1 and its major compo-nents are as follows
(1) Poor bearing capacity due to the high water contentand tiny seepage of the soil conditions in soft soilfoundations the bearing strength of the foundationis fairly low making settlement foundations ex-tremely simple to produce posing a severe danger toresidentsrsquo travel quality [43]
(2) Large settlement the significant settlement is one ofthe features of a soft soil foundation e settlingfeatures of soft soil foundations will create additionaldifficulties for engineering building projects andpose a severe danger to the progress and quality ofengineering projects
(3) Strong compressibility the soft soil ductility isstrong due to the macrospore structure dependingon water content and soil quality [12] Duringconstruction the macrosporersquos soft soil layer is en-dangered which prevents appropriate controlmeasures from being taken and further impacts theefficiency and progress of the building and the sta-bility of the basee consequence is easy to dislocatethe path and the subgrade of the cityrsquos engineeringstructure collapses

output layer determines the output value of each unit bycomputing the difference between the output value and theintended output values Finally the weight to modify eachinput layer and the hidden layer is the product of eachreceiving unit error value and transmission unit activationvalue [44 45]
32 Methodology
321 Convergence Analysis After considering the WNNrsquoslimitations the main issue is poor convergence When thewavelet-based neural network uses the BP neural networkrsquosinitialization and training technique there will be poorconvergence difficulties and recommended improvements[7] is is due to the differing activation functions of thehidden layer nodes is article optimizes the initial pa-rameter selection technique as well as the network trainingmethod based on this
322 Optimization of the WNN
(1) Selection of Initial Values of Network Parameters einitialization of network parameters has an impact onwhether or not the networkrsquos subsequent learning con-verges and how quickly it converges Currently randomvalues are used to create the initial parameters of WNNswhich significantly increases the number of learning timesand even causes the network to fail to converge e authorsuggested an autocorrelation correction initial parametersetting technique in [46] which links the initial parametersettings of WNN with wavelet types wavelet time-fre-quency parameters and learning samples Excellentstarting parameters may be obtained with a high degree ofcertainty using this approach and the wavelet networkrsquosfollow-up learning speed will be substantially increased Asa result this article uses this approach to determine theinitial values of network parameters which will be dis-cussed further in this article

(2) Determination of the Network Structure In this sectionwe discuss the structure of our proposed Wavelet NeuralNetwork based on optimized scaled conjugate gradient al-gorithm for the prediction of soft soil foundation engi-neering settlement
(1) Number of hidden layers the researcher of [47]demonstrated that a three-layer neural networkmodel can handle general function fitting and ap-proximation issues Because settlement prediction isa function fitting issue a three-layer wavelet neuralnetwork will suffice
(2) Number of hidden layer nodes the number ofhidden layer nodes directly influences the networkrsquosgeneralization ability and training time therefore itis crucial in the development of the neural networkmodel ere is however no theoretical direction inthis area e primary approaches used in practicalapplications are testing or the use of empiricalequations [48]
is study presents an adaptive technique based onempirical formulas for obtaining a higher number of hiddenlayer nodes To begin use equation (1) to find the number ofhidden layer nodes and the maximum number of learningperiods for the network When the network reaches itsmaximum number of nodes the number of hidden layernodes will increase since it is still unable to fulfill the errorcriteria Similarly when the network does not meet thelearning number specified and the error criterion is fulfilledconcurrently the number of hidden layer nodes willdecrease

Here n is the number of input nodes m is the number ofoutput nodes is the number of hidden layer nodes and l is aconstant between one and twenty
323 Optimization of Learning Algorithm Because thetraditional BP network utilizes the steepest descent methodthe primary drawback is that this slows down networkconvergence and is readily confined to the best local solution[41] too For that reason there were several optimizationmethods among these for its similarity in nature to theSDBP algorithm but with a higher convergence time theconnected gradient algorithm is frequently employed fortackling big optimization issues For this reason the SCGmethod [49] is used in this article for network training in thecombined gradient algorithm e following is the proce-dure of detailed application
We take the error energy function as

wavelet-based cross-pollination for an unknown real-timefunction Because wavelets have a high compression capacityand have fewer coefficients the results were achieved in thiscircumstance
In [25] the authors offer a statistical model identificationframework for using wavelet networks which is studied overa wide range of topics including architecture initializationvariable selection and model selection Because of theircapacity to extract varied information wavelet-based tech-niques have been employed in numerous computer visionapplications using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)Wavelet CNN texture classification [26] multiscale facesuperresolution [27] picture superresolution [28] and edgefeature boosting [29] are only a few examples In [30] amultilevel wavelet CNN model for picture restoration waspresented e researchers in [31] suggested a new layer thatconducts wavelet-based convolution filtering and activationbefore returning to pixel space
Similarly [32] created a hybrid wavelet deep learningnetwork based on the wavelets scattering transform [33]is presented a basic classification that was subsequentlyenhanced [34] In [35] the authors also suggest a wavelet forthe segmentation of the brain tumors which is strengthenedby an evolutionary network design and for this applicationDWT is coupled with the neural network classification [36]To lower the spatial resolution and expand the receptive fieldto dense pixel-specific prediction encoder-decoder CNNarchitecture with encoder DWT and inverse decoder DWTwas presented in [37] In addition a neural wavelet networkfor speech and noise separation was proposed in [38] eresearchers in [39] built WNN optimization based on theSCG algorithm to forecast the settling of the foundation ofthe structure under complex geological circumstances efindings indicated that WNN optimization was optimal andthat this had a positive effect compared to the BP neuralnetwork and the BP WNN Inspired from the work of abovescholars this research work combines wavelet neural net-work (WNN) with optimized scaled conjugate gradientalgorithm to successfully predict the soft soil foundationengineering settlement by performing numerousexperiments
3 Materials and Methodology
31 Materials Used during Our Research Work
311 Soft Soil Foundations Soft soil foundation consists ofsoft soil with finer particles and organic soil with wider gapsbecause its texture comprises mucky soil with silt and otherhighly compressible soils with clay components and siltcomponents [40] in fine soil particles e soft foundationsof soil are mostly based on the changes in soil foundationsproduced by geographical circumstances geological struc-tures and the soil conditionsrsquo features and qualities
(1) Characteristics of Soft Soil Foundation e majorcharacteristics of soft soil include low water permeabilityand high water content according to the basic attributes ofsoil However the water permeability is poor and the shear
strength is exceedingly low [41] e shear foot brake andcompression system with high compressibility or mucky soilgenerally exhibit considerable settlement after the externalload is transmitted to the foundation section As a resultconstructions erected on soft soil foundations such asbuildings roads and bridges have a significant inclinationor settlement It is straightforward to cause the injury andcrack of the building and therefore the increase of themacrospore which can cause the collapse of the buildingonce it is serious erefore the municipal constructionunits should actively analyze and study the soft soil foun-dation treatment and scientifically discover and take a lookat the shear resistance and cargo resistance level of the softsoil foundation [42]
(2)e Impact of Soft Soil Foundatione impact of soft soilfoundation can be seen in Figure 1 and its major compo-nents are as follows
(1) Poor bearing capacity due to the high water contentand tiny seepage of the soil conditions in soft soilfoundations the bearing strength of the foundationis fairly low making settlement foundations ex-tremely simple to produce posing a severe danger toresidentsrsquo travel quality [43]
(2) Large settlement the significant settlement is one ofthe features of a soft soil foundation e settlingfeatures of soft soil foundations will create additionaldifficulties for engineering building projects andpose a severe danger to the progress and quality ofengineering projects
(3) Strong compressibility the soft soil ductility isstrong due to the macrospore structure dependingon water content and soil quality [12] Duringconstruction the macrosporersquos soft soil layer is en-dangered which prevents appropriate controlmeasures from being taken and further impacts theefficiency and progress of the building and the sta-bility of the basee consequence is easy to dislocatethe path and the subgrade of the cityrsquos engineeringstructure collapses
312 Wavelet Neural Network Wavelet Networks are anovel network type that brings together traditional SigmoidNetworks (NNs) with Wavelet Analysis (WA) [43] estretch factor denoted by aj and the panning elementdenoted by bj are two new parameters introduced by thistechnique ese new parameters replace the respectiveweights and thresholds of the neural network by using thewave element to replace neurons and establish a connectionbetween the transforming and the neural networks throughan approximation of wavelet decomposition [25] ewavelet neural network contains three layers according toFigure 2 input layer hidden layer and layer output Duringthe forward propagation learning phase the data from theinput layer is processed and sent to the hidden layer edata is subsequently processed in the output layer by ahidden layer After that at the backpropagation stage the

output layer determines the output value of each unit bycomputing the difference between the output value and theintended output values Finally the weight to modify eachinput layer and the hidden layer is the product of eachreceiving unit error value and transmission unit activationvalue [44 45]
32 Methodology
321 Convergence Analysis After considering the WNNrsquoslimitations the main issue is poor convergence When thewavelet-based neural network uses the BP neural networkrsquosinitialization and training technique there will be poorconvergence difficulties and recommended improvements[7] is is due to the differing activation functions of thehidden layer nodes is article optimizes the initial pa-rameter selection technique as well as the network trainingmethod based on this
322 Optimization of the WNN
(1) Selection of Initial Values of Network Parameters einitialization of network parameters has an impact onwhether or not the networkrsquos subsequent learning con-verges and how quickly it converges Currently randomvalues are used to create the initial parameters of WNNswhich significantly increases the number of learning timesand even causes the network to fail to converge e authorsuggested an autocorrelation correction initial parametersetting technique in [46] which links the initial parametersettings of WNN with wavelet types wavelet time-fre-quency parameters and learning samples Excellentstarting parameters may be obtained with a high degree ofcertainty using this approach and the wavelet networkrsquosfollow-up learning speed will be substantially increased Asa result this article uses this approach to determine theinitial values of network parameters which will be dis-cussed further in this article

(2) Determination of the Network Structure In this sectionwe discuss the structure of our proposed Wavelet NeuralNetwork based on optimized scaled conjugate gradient al-gorithm for the prediction of soft soil foundation engi-neering settlement
(1) Number of hidden layers the researcher of [47]demonstrated that a three-layer neural networkmodel can handle general function fitting and ap-proximation issues Because settlement prediction isa function fitting issue a three-layer wavelet neuralnetwork will suffice
(2) Number of hidden layer nodes the number ofhidden layer nodes directly influences the networkrsquosgeneralization ability and training time therefore itis crucial in the development of the neural networkmodel ere is however no theoretical direction inthis area e primary approaches used in practicalapplications are testing or the use of empiricalequations [48]
is study presents an adaptive technique based onempirical formulas for obtaining a higher number of hiddenlayer nodes To begin use equation (1) to find the number ofhidden layer nodes and the maximum number of learningperiods for the network When the network reaches itsmaximum number of nodes the number of hidden layernodes will increase since it is still unable to fulfill the errorcriteria Similarly when the network does not meet thelearning number specified and the error criterion is fulfilledconcurrently the number of hidden layer nodes willdecrease

Here n is the number of input nodes m is the number ofoutput nodes is the number of hidden layer nodes and l is aconstant between one and twenty
323 Optimization of Learning Algorithm Because thetraditional BP network utilizes the steepest descent methodthe primary drawback is that this slows down networkconvergence and is readily confined to the best local solution[41] too For that reason there were several optimizationmethods among these for its similarity in nature to theSDBP algorithm but with a higher convergence time theconnected gradient algorithm is frequently employed fortackling big optimization issues For this reason the SCGmethod [49] is used in this article for network training in thecombined gradient algorithm e following is the proce-dure of detailed application
We take the error energy function as

output layer determines the output value of each unit bycomputing the difference between the output value and theintended output values Finally the weight to modify eachinput layer and the hidden layer is the product of eachreceiving unit error value and transmission unit activationvalue [44 45]
32 Methodology
321 Convergence Analysis After considering the WNNrsquoslimitations the main issue is poor convergence When thewavelet-based neural network uses the BP neural networkrsquosinitialization and training technique there will be poorconvergence difficulties and recommended improvements[7] is is due to the differing activation functions of thehidden layer nodes is article optimizes the initial pa-rameter selection technique as well as the network trainingmethod based on this
322 Optimization of the WNN
(1) Selection of Initial Values of Network Parameters einitialization of network parameters has an impact onwhether or not the networkrsquos subsequent learning con-verges and how quickly it converges Currently randomvalues are used to create the initial parameters of WNNswhich significantly increases the number of learning timesand even causes the network to fail to converge e authorsuggested an autocorrelation correction initial parametersetting technique in [46] which links the initial parametersettings of WNN with wavelet types wavelet time-fre-quency parameters and learning samples Excellentstarting parameters may be obtained with a high degree ofcertainty using this approach and the wavelet networkrsquosfollow-up learning speed will be substantially increased Asa result this article uses this approach to determine theinitial values of network parameters which will be dis-cussed further in this article

(2) Determination of the Network Structure In this sectionwe discuss the structure of our proposed Wavelet NeuralNetwork based on optimized scaled conjugate gradient al-gorithm for the prediction of soft soil foundation engi-neering settlement
(1) Number of hidden layers the researcher of [47]demonstrated that a three-layer neural networkmodel can handle general function fitting and ap-proximation issues Because settlement prediction isa function fitting issue a three-layer wavelet neuralnetwork will suffice
(2) Number of hidden layer nodes the number ofhidden layer nodes directly influences the networkrsquosgeneralization ability and training time therefore itis crucial in the development of the neural networkmodel ere is however no theoretical direction inthis area e primary approaches used in practicalapplications are testing or the use of empiricalequations [48]
is study presents an adaptive technique based onempirical formulas for obtaining a higher number of hiddenlayer nodes To begin use equation (1) to find the number ofhidden layer nodes and the maximum number of learningperiods for the network When the network reaches itsmaximum number of nodes the number of hidden layernodes will increase since it is still unable to fulfill the errorcriteria Similarly when the network does not meet thelearning number specified and the error criterion is fulfilledconcurrently the number of hidden layer nodes willdecrease
O m + n

Here n is the number of input nodes m is the number ofoutput nodes is the number of hidden layer nodes and l is aconstant between one and twenty
323 Optimization of Learning Algorithm Because thetraditional BP network utilizes the steepest descent methodthe primary drawback is that this slows down networkconvergence and is readily confined to the best local solution[41] too For that reason there were several optimizationmethods among these for its similarity in nature to theSDBP algorithm but with a higher convergence time theconnected gradient algorithm is frequently employed fortackling big optimization issues For this reason the SCGmethod [49] is used in this article for network training in thecombined gradient algorithm e following is the proce-dure of detailed application
We take the error energy function as

(2) Determination of the Network Structure In this sectionwe discuss the structure of our proposed Wavelet NeuralNetwork based on optimized scaled conjugate gradient al-gorithm for the prediction of soft soil foundation engi-neering settlement
(1) Number of hidden layers the researcher of [47]demonstrated that a three-layer neural networkmodel can handle general function fitting and ap-proximation issues Because settlement prediction isa function fitting issue a three-layer wavelet neuralnetwork will suffice
(2) Number of hidden layer nodes the number ofhidden layer nodes directly influences the networkrsquosgeneralization ability and training time therefore itis crucial in the development of the neural networkmodel ere is however no theoretical direction inthis area e primary approaches used in practicalapplications are testing or the use of empiricalequations [48]
is study presents an adaptive technique based onempirical formulas for obtaining a higher number of hiddenlayer nodes To begin use equation (1) to find the number ofhidden layer nodes and the maximum number of learningperiods for the network When the network reaches itsmaximum number of nodes the number of hidden layernodes will increase since it is still unable to fulfill the errorcriteria Similarly when the network does not meet thelearning number specified and the error criterion is fulfilledconcurrently the number of hidden layer nodes willdecrease

Here n is the number of input nodes m is the number ofoutput nodes is the number of hidden layer nodes and l is aconstant between one and twenty
323 Optimization of Learning Algorithm Because thetraditional BP network utilizes the steepest descent methodthe primary drawback is that this slows down networkconvergence and is readily confined to the best local solution[41] too For that reason there were several optimizationmethods among these for its similarity in nature to theSDBP algorithm but with a higher convergence time theconnected gradient algorithm is frequently employed fortackling big optimization issues For this reason the SCGmethod [49] is used in this article for network training in thecombined gradient algorithm e following is the proce-dure of detailed application
We take the error energy function as
E(θ) 12

Here x is the input value y is the output value and θ is aparameter

43 Settlement Prediction of the Building Foundation e 21periods monitoring data of a high-rise building soft foun-dation are taken for analysis e first 13 periods of data areused as training samples to predict the settlement of the last 8periods of observation Use the three network models tomake predictions and the results are listed in Tables 10ndash13
Table 10 illustrates the relative error and accuracy ofsettlement prediction of building foundation using BPNeural Network with training times 3201 During BP NeuralNetwork we obtain accuracy of 043 for the number ofmeasurements 14 15 16 17 18 19 21 and 21
