description Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to consider the prediction of foundation settlement in the case of multi-parameter coupling effect by theoretical formulas and numerical analysis, the fireworks algorithm with gravitational search operator (FAGSO) is introduced into the BP neural network model, and the FAGSO algorithm aims to enhance the neural network’s weight and threshold adjustment process; so, a new soft ground settlement prediction model was developed which uses a fireworks algorithm integrated with a gravitational search operator to optimize a BP neural network (referred to as FAGSO-BP). The FAGSO-BP neural network forecasting model is used to predict the soft foundation settlement of Hunan Wuyi Expressway Project. In the soft foundation settlement prediction analysis of Hunan Wuyi Expressway Project, the average relative error of the FAGSO-BP neural network test set was 6.06%, with an RMSE of 1.6, an MAE of 1.2, a MAPE of 0.12% and an MSE of 2.56, which compared to the traditional BP, GA-BP and FWA-BP neural models, had smaller error and higher model stability.
