Predicting Slurry Pressure Balance with a Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network in Difficult Ground Condition

Figure 1

The general arrangement of an SPB shield. The pressure at the tunneling face includes the lateral earth pressure (Ssoil) and pore water pressure (Swater), which is balanced by the cutter head pressure (Scutterhead) and slurry pressure (Sslurry) in excavation chamber (modified from Herrenknecht).
