Prediction of Shear Strength of Soil Using Direct Shear Test and Support Vector Machine Model

Shear Strength of Soil

One of the most important and the most controversial engineering properties of soil is its shear strength or ability to resist sliding along internal surfaces within a mass. The stability of a cut, the slope of an earth dam, the foundations of structures, the natural slopes of hillsides and other structures built on soil depend upon the shearing resistance offered by the soil along the probable...

Quantitative Damage Diagnosis of Shear Structures Using Support Vector Machine

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline and Least Square Support Vector Machine for Prediction of Undrained Shear Strength of Clay

This study adopts Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) and Least Square Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) for prediction of undrained shear strength (su ) of clay, based Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data. Corrected cone resistance (qt ), vertical total stress (σv ), hydrostatic pore pressure (u0 ), pore water pressure at the cone tip (u1 ), and pore water pressure just above the cone base...

Studying the effect of roughness on soil-geotextile interaction in direct shear test

Abstract One of the methods of increasing soil resistance against failure is soil reinforcement using geosynthetics. Soil-geosynthetic interactions are of great importance and are affected by friction and adhesion at their interface. Soil gradation, contact surface roughness and geotextile density are among the factors affecting soil-geotextiles interaction this study, to investigate the eff...

Numerical Discrete Element Simulation Of Soil Direct Shear Test

One of the most common methods to measure soil mechanical properties (namely cohesion and internal friction angle) is direct shear box test. In this paper the development of a three-dimensional (3D) discrete element soil model for simulation of a cohesive soil’s direct shear test is presented. The aim was to calibrate the properties of the Hertz-Mindlin with bonding contact model available in E...
