Abstract The article presents back analysis to estimate geotechnical parameters of fill layer. The agreement between field measurements and theoretical calculations was examined. Displacements of a cantilever CFA bored pile wall were monitored. The inclinometric measurements were taken directly after pile construction and according to excavation process. Over 200 calculation series were performed, with changing fill parameters. The calculations employed the actual geometric and material parameters of the pile wall, as well as geotechnical parameters of layered soil. The parameters estimated through back analysis were the angle of internal friction and Young’s modulus of fill layer. In the case discussed, pile wall cap displacement was the response of the system, and soil medium parameters were the input data. The agreement between theoretical calculations and inclinometer measurements was assessed in accordance with two functions. The measured horizontal displacements of excavation support structure assumed different values at the two inclinometer sites analysed. Back analysis results for these sites are approximately convergent for a final excavation depth.

Tunnel engineering information construction has been widely used, and the back analysis is its core. As the common useful method, displacement back analysis is of special advantages. This paper introduces the calculative method based on the application in a railway tunnel. The result shows that strain softening model can be used to simulate the large deformation mechanism of surrounding rock.

The inverse problem of parameter identification is deal with by minimizing an objective function that contains the difference between observed and calculated dam displacements. The optimization problem of minimizing objective function is solved with genetic algorithm. The calculated dam displacements are simulated by using finite element method according to water level change acting on dam upstream. The practical dam displacements are observed on the dam crest. The investigation shows that the forecasted dam displacements agree well with observed ones. The effectiveness of proposed inversion procedure is validated.

In the numerical calculation of geotechnical project, it’s difficult to confirm the parameters because of the complexity and the uncertainty of them as the time is changing. However, the back-analysis provides us an effective way. Based on the result of the triaxial test on rock-fill of Shui Bu Ya CFRD, the thesis adopts the direct back-analysis method which combines the BP Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm to calculate the Tsinghua non-linear K-G model parameters of the rock-fill. The back-analysis parameters are used to simulate the filling process of Shui Bu Ya CFRD and predict the displacement of the dam. The thesis provides a technical reference for displacement back-analysis of soil parameters for CFRD.

In this paper differential evolution algorithm (DE) which is a new global optimization algorithm is introduced into the displacement back analysis, and the self-developed back analysis program based on DE is used in metro station engineering. The results show that the superiority of DE and the practicability of intelligent displacement back analysis program, more importantly, it is being applied to engineering practice to provide reference and advanced prediction for the construction process.

The Kalman filtering theory was applied for the back analysis of mechanical parameters of mass concrete on the first time. The time-spreading equation and the observation-correcting equation were deduced. After the coupling problem of extending Kalman filtering theory and FEM was solved, the Kalman-FEM formula were deduced and the corresponding back analysis procedures were given. The results indicate that the Kalman filtering method has good characteristics of convergence and stability. The broached method can be used in other research fields such as the back analysis of creeping parameters. Many more conclusions are tested and discussed through a classic example.
