Estimation of Tsunami Bore Forces on a Coastal Bridge Using an Extreme Learning Machine

Abstract

This paper proposes a procedure to estimate tsunami wave forces on coastal bridges through a novel method based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and laboratory experiments. This research included three water depths, ten wave heights, and four bridge models with a variety of girders providing a total of 120 cases. The research was designed and adapted to estimate tsunami bore forces including horizontal force, vertical uplift and overturning moment on a coastal bridge. The experiments were carried out on 1:40 scaled concrete bridge models in a wave flume with dimensions of 24 mˆ1.5 mˆ2 m. Two six-axis load cells and four pressure sensors were installed to the base plate to measure forces. In the numerical procedure, estimation and prediction results of the ELM model were compared with Genetic Programming (GP) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) models. The experimental results showed an improvement in predictive accuracy, and capability of generalization could be achieved by the ELM approach in comparison with GP and ANN. Moreover, results indicated that the ELM models developed could be used with confidence for further work on formulating novel model predictive strategy for tsunami bore forces on a coastal bridge. The experimental results indicated that the new algorithm could produce good generalization performance in most cases and could learn thousands of times faster than conventional popular learning algorithms. Therefore, it can be conclusively obtained that utilization of ELM is certainly developing as an alternative approach to estimate the tsunami bore forces on a coastal bridge.

Classification of Potential Tsunami Disaster Due to Earthquakes in Indonesia Based on Machine Learning

“…The Confusion Matrix showed that the model correctly classified 232 instances of potential tsunamis and 37 cases of non-potential tsunamis out of 269 actual occurrences. However, 52 instances were falsely International Journal Software Engineering and Computer Science (IJSECS), 4 (1) 2024, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Classification of Potential Tsunami Disaster Due to Earthquakes in Indonesia Based on Machine Learning predicted as non-potential tsunamis and 77 instances were falsely predicted as potential tsunamis, indicating some misclassifications.…”
