Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8969: Prediction of Freeze–Thaw Damage in Shallow-Buried Bias Tunnels Using Thermal–Mechanical Modeling and Machine Learning

4+ day, 8+ hour ago   (414+ words) To evaluate freeze–thaw damage and asymmetric deterioration in shallow-buried bias tunnel linings in cold regions, an explainable data-driven predictive framework was developed. Guided by the underlying frost heave mechanisms, an optimal support vector machine (SVM) surrogate model was trained…...
