For new tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunnel projects that lack specific data required for training prediction models of rock mass classification, it is essential to establish a cross-project prediction model based on historical projects. However, due to the uncertainty of geological conditions and the variability in data correlations, predicting rock mass classification for cross-project remains a significant challenge. This study proposes a cross-project prediction model of rock mass classification based on feature fusion of physics-driven and data-driven models. Basically, a physics-driven model was presented by creating a penetration grade matrix combined with statistical indicators. Simultaneously, a data-driven model was established by selecting contributing raw parameters based on the importance ranking provided by the LightGBM model. Based on the Yinchao project (YC), data from YC2-6 was used as a known database for model training and verification, while data from YC2-5 served as a test set to verify the cross-project prediction performance. Label denoising was performed to refine data quality, and data analysis was conducted between the mutual projects. The results indicate that there is a discrepancy between the data distributions of new tunnel and historical projects. The data-driven model attains good performance in single-tunnel prediction but suffers from overfitting in cross-project prediction, leading to a sharp decline in prediction accuracy. The proposed featu...
