Abstract:The thermodynamic parameters of soil are affected by both dry density and moisture content, leading to uncertainty in measuring moisture content using the heat source method. This study proposes a combined approach using a back propagation (BP) neural network and the point heat resource method to simultaneously determine soil dry density and moisture content. The segmented mean value extracted from the temperature time-history data during the cooling process of the heat source serves as the feature input, whil… Show more
