- Description: In this study, evaluation and prediction of rock cohesion is assessed using multiple regression as well as group method of data handling (GMDH). It is a well-known fact that cohesion is the most crucial rock shear strength parameter, which is a key parameter for the stability evaluation of some geotechnical structures such as rock slope. To fulfill the aim of this study, a database of three model input parameters, i.e., p wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength and Brazilian tensile strength and one model output, which is cohesion of limestone samples was prepared and utilized by GMDH. Different GMDH models with neurons and layers and selection pressure were tested and assessed. It was found that GMDH model number 4 (with 8 layers) shows the best performance among all of tested models between the input and output parameters for the prediction and assessment of rock cohesion with coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.928 and 0.929, root mean square error values of 0.3545 and 0.3154 for training and testing datasets, respectively. Multiple regression analysis was also performed on the same database and R2 values were obtained as 0.8173 and 0.8313 between input and output parameters for the training and testing of the models, respectively. The GMDH technique developed in this study is introduced as a new model in field of rock shear strength parameters. © 2019, Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.

- Description: One of the important factors during drilling times is the rate of penetration (ROP), which is controlled based on different variables. Factors affecting different drillings are of paramount importance. In the current research, an attempt was made to better recognize drilling parameters and optimize them based on an optimization algorithm. For this purpose, 618 data sets, including RPM, flushing media, and compressive strength parameters, were measured and collected. After an initial investigation, the compressive strength feature of samples, which is an important parameter from the rocks, was used as a proper criterion for classification. Then using intelligent systems, three different levels of the rock strength and all data were modeled. The results showed that systems which were classified based on compressive strength showed a better performance for ROP assessment due to the proximity of features. Therefore, these three levels were used for classification. A new artificial bee colony algorithm was used to solve this problem. Optimizations were applied to the selected models under different optimization conditions, and optimal states were determined. As determining drilling machine parameters is important, these parameters were determined based on optimal conditions. The obtained results showed that this intelligent system can well improve drilling conditions and increase the ROP value for three strength levels of the rocks. This modeling system can be used in different drilling operations.
