DIFFERENT NEURAL NETWORKS AND MODAL TREE METHOD FOR PREDICTING ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY OF PILES

The prediction of the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile under axial load is one of the important issues for many researches in the field of geotechnical engineering. In recent years, the use of computational intelligence techniques such as different methods of artificial neural network has been developed in terms of physical and numerical modeling aspects. In this study, a database of 100 p...
