- Abstract
- Accurate prediction of ground vibration caused by blasting has always been a significant issue in the mining industry. Ground vibration caused by blasting is a harmful phenomenon to nearby buildings and should be prevented. In this regard, a new intelligent method for predicting peak particle velocity (PPV) induced by blasting had been developed. Accordingly, 150 sets of data composed of thirteen uncontrollable and controllable indicators are selected as input dependent variables, and the measured PPV is used as the output target for characterizing blast-induced ground vibration. Also, in order to enhance its predictive accuracy, the gray wolf optimization (GWO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and Bayesian optimization algorithm (BO) are applied to fine-tune the hyper-parameters of the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model. According to the root mean squared error (RMSE), determination coefficient (R2), the variance accounted for (VAF), and mean absolute error (MAE), the hybrid models GWO-XGBoost, WOA-XGBoost, and BO-XGBoost were verified. Additionally, XGBoost, CatBoost (CatB), Random Forest, and gradient boosting regression (GBR) were also considered and used to compare the multiple hybrid-XGBoost models that have been developed. The values of RMSE, R2, VAF, and MAE obtained from WOA-XGBoost, GWO-XGBoost, and BO-XGBoost models were equal to (3.0538, 0.9757, 97.68, 2.5032), (3.0954, 0.9751, 97.62, 2.5189), and (3.2409, 0.9727, 97.65, 2.5867), respectively. Findings reveal that compared with other machine learning models, the proposed WOA-XGBoost became the most reliable model. These three optimized hybrid models are superior to the GBR model, CatB model, Random Forest model, and the XGBoost model, confirming the ability of the meta-heuristic algorithm to enhance the performance of the PPV model, which can be helpful for mine planners and engineers using advanced supervised machine learning with metaheuristic algorithms for predicting ground vibration caused by explosions. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.
