Automated soil profile generation system for the dilatometer test (DMT)

摘要

Automated soil profile generation system for the dilatometer test (DMT). The paper presents an automated method of the soil profile generation using the soft computing method. This method can be used as the main source of knowledge for the future soil classification module, which will be able to identify geotechnical layers without the interaction with the user. The method uses a graph clustering algorithm, which groups together measurements from the Dilatometer Test. The histogram-based similaritymeasure is used to automatically adjust number of generated categories (soil geotechnical layers). Test site, algorithm and its application to the generation of soil profiles in the Warsaw University of Life Sciences campus are described. Results are discussed to provide a more general insight into application of intelligent algorithms into the geotechnical data analysis.
