Abstract
The unconfined compressive strength (Qu) is one of the most important criteria of stabilized soil to design in order to evaluate the effective of soft soil improvement. The unconfined compressive strength of stabilized soil is strongly affected by numerous factors such as the soil properties, the binder content, etc. Machine Learning (ML) approach can take into account these factors to predict the unconfined compressive strength (Qu) with high performance and reliability. The aim of this paper is to select a single ML model to design Qu of stabilized soil containing some chemical stabilizer agents such as lime, cement and bitumen. In order to build the single ML model, a database is created based on the literature investigation. The database contains 200 data samples, 12 input variables (Liquid limit, Plastic limit, Plasticity index, Linear shrinkage, Clay content, Sand content, Gravel content, Optimum water content, Density of stabilized soil, Lime content, Cement content, Bitumen content) and the output variable Qu. The performance and reliability of ML model are evaluated by the popular validation technique Monte Carlo simulation with aided of three criteria metrics including coefficient of determination R2, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Square Error (MAE). ML model based on Gradient Boosting algorithm is selected as highest performance and highest reliability ML model for designing Qu of stabilized soil. Explanation of feature effects on the unconfined compressive strength Qu of stabilized soil is carried out by Permutation importance, Partial Dependence Plot (PDP 2D) in two dimensions and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) local value. The ML model proposed in this investigation is single and useful for professional engineers with using the mapping Maximal dry density-Linear shrinkage created by PDP 2D.
