Abstract
In this study, Site Groundwater Rating (SGR) in the Amirkabir tunnel has been estimated using
Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs). SGR is the first rating method that by considering the
parameters like joint frequency, joint aperture, schistosity, crashed zones, karstification, soil
permeability coefficient, tunnel location in the water table or piezometric surface, and the amount
and intensity of annual raining in the area, classifies the tunnel path from the risk of groundwater
seepage point of view. In this article, using an RBFN, an estimation of SGR along the Amirkabir
tunnel path was performed. Field data obtained from primary studies in the tunnel was used to train
and test the prepared network. For the testing set, modeling results showed that SGR could be
predicted with the mean error of 3.57% and 4.76% using radial basis network and exact radial basis
network functions, respectively. A High correlation between the SGR of the tunnel path and the
network answers, confirmed the prepared RBFN.
