Abstract:Accompanying with the development of social economy, due to the effects of exploitation of underground fluid and solid mineral resources, static and mobile ground load, the development of underground space and other factors, regional land subsidence problems have becoming more and more serious. It has an important significance to build a regional land subsidence prediction model to detect potential pitfalls, and formulate reasonable control measures to ensure sustainable development of social economic and ecological environment. In this paper, based on application of neural network by using genetic algorithm in ground settlement prediction, a comparative analysis of several algorithms from training speed, fitting and predictive ability has been carried out.
