Landslide Displacement Prediction Model Based on Time Series and CNN-GRU by FU Zhentao, LI Limin, WANG Lianxia, REN Ruibin, CUI Chengtao, FENG Qingqing

“…Landslide displacement prediction is an important basis for early landslide warning.This paper proposes a prediction model of landslide moving states based on time series and convolutional gated recurrent unit (CNN-GRU) to deal with the shortcomings of previous prediction models.Firstly,after employing wavelet analysis to determine the displacement of the trend term,the exponential smoothing method is adopted to decompose the cumulative displacement to obtain two displacement types of the trend term and the periodic term,and the trend term is fitted by a five-order polynomial.Then,the autocorrelation function is utilized to test the periodic displacement characteristics,and the gray correlation method is applied to determine the correlation degree between each factor and the periodic term.Meanwhile,the periodic term and the influencing factor are input into the CNN-GRU model for prediction,and finally the predicted cumulative displacement value is obtained by superposition.By taking the Baishui River landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area as an example,this paper selects the data from January 2004 to December 2012 for study,and the average absolute error percentage of the final prediction results is only 0.525%,with RMSE of 9.614 and R² of 0.993.Experimental results show that CNN-GRU has higher prediction accuracy.…”

Ultra-low dosages of novel graphene types enhance the rheological properties and buildability of 3D printed binders by Sahil Surehali, Akshay Venkatachalam, Ranjith Divigalpitiya, Aditya Kumar, Narayanan Neithalath

“…Both FG and RG significantly enhance the dynamic and static yield stresses and viscoelastic properties of the binder, with RG-modified mixtures exhibiting slightly more pronounced enhancements due to the presence of functional groups. Temporal evolution of static yield stress (τs) and storage modulus (G’) reveal aspects relating to structural build-up facilitated by the graphene particulates (structuration parameter from τs-t, and rate of structural build-up, and residual structural factor from G’-t relations), that are important in extrusion and shape stability. …”
