Abstract

With the quick advancement of the level of information science in shield tunnel construction, the monitoring methods of shield equipment during tunnel boring work are increasingly improved and the recorded construction data includes not only information on the internal workings of the shield equipment, but also on its interaction with the external strata. Machine learning data analysis is powerful and has a wider range of applications and scope than traditional data analysis methods in the civil construction industry. Through the use of machine learning methods, the data and information collected can be mined and analysed in depth to find the intrinsic connections and linkages that can help improve the safety and efficiency ragarding shield tunnel construction. This work presents a literature analysis of current situations of machine learning for shield tunnel construction at home and abroad, briefly describes the basic principles of machine learning methods, summarises and analyses the research situation in shield tunnel construction, reviews the progress of machine learning-based shield equipment condition analysis, intelligent prediction and control methods for shield tunneling parameters and shield tunneling surface deformation prediction, and summarises the current research The study also summarises the shortcomings of current research. Finally, an outlook on the development of shield tunneling towards intelligence is presented.
