Predicting this abrasion is complex duetothe intricate interactions between flow hydraulics and sediment transport, along with limited high-quality data. In this study, we explore, for the first time, the potential of using the XGBoost machine learning algorithm to predict the spatial abrasion of SBTs. The Koshibu SBT in Japan, extending approximately 4 km, was selected as the case study. Three experimental scenarios were evaluated: the entire tunnel, the straight section, and the curved section. A spatial abrasion topography was measured using laser scanning tools with a spatial resolution of 2 cm. The controlling factors for abrasion were developed based on geometric and hydraulic features. The abrasion inventory map, consisting of over 1 million data points indicating damaged and non-damaged sites, was divided equally for training and testing the XGBoost algorithm. Results indicate that the XGBoost model effectively predicts 2D spatial abrasions in SBTs, achieving an overall accuracy of 0.864, exceeding 0.9 in some sections. The developed abrasion map accurately captures various complex patterns throughout the tunnel but has some limitations in areas with small wave-like patterns. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of machine learning algorithms for predicting tunnel abrasion in SBTs.  \nPaper highlights  \n• This study introduces a validated 2D model for tunn","cbCaijiwqkf0aZu0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijiwqkf0aZu0","pdf",6079062,5,1,19,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Paper highlights\n# Article history\n# Keywords\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"Why is predicting hydro-abrasion in sediment bypass tunnels difficult?\",\"answer\":\"It involves intricate interactions between flow hydraulics and sediment transport, and it is hindered by limited high-quality data.\"},{\"question\":\"Which machine learning method is used to predict 2D abrasion mapping in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses the XGBoost machine learning algorithm to predict spatial 2D abrasion.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the Koshibu SBT case study set up and evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"The Koshibu SBT in Japan (about 4 km) was analyzed under three scenarios (entire tunnel, straight section, curved section), using laser scanning data at 2 cm resolution and an abrasion inventory map split into training and testing sets.\"}]","Machine learning approach for 2D abrasion mapping in Sediment Bypass Tunnels -
