Prediction of Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Cohesionless Soils: An Evolutionary Approach

This study proposes an innovative mathematical formula that uses multigene Genetic Programming (GP), a recently developed soft computing technique, to predict the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. The real performance of previously developed approaches is also investigated. The multigene GP-based formula was calibrated and validated using an experimental da...

Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Cohesionless Soils: A Random Forest Based Approach

Determining the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is vital for design of shallow foundations. Recently, soft computing methods (i.e. artificial neural networks and support vector machines) have been used for this purpose. In this paper, Random Forest (RF) is utilized as a tree-based ensemble classifier for predicting the UBC of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. The inputs of model are wi...

Bearing capacity and settlement of circular shallow foundations using a non-linear constitutive relationship

The design of shallow foundations is dominated by issues of settlement, rather than by bearing capacity per-se. The ability to predict the settlement of foundations at a given factor of safety is hence of key importance in design. In this paper, the energy method for a linear-elastic perfectly plastic method utilizing the von Mises’ yield criterion with associated flow developed by McMahon et a...
