Earth reinforcing techniques have become useful and economical to solve problems related to difficult grounds and provide satisfactory foundation performance. In this context, this paper uses radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) for predicting the bearing pressure of strip footing on reinforced granular bed overlying weak soil. The inputs for the neural network models included plate wid...

Abstract Safe bearing capacity (SBC) may be estimated for cohesive soil using the IS Code it is essential to conduct shear tests in order identify angle of internal friction and cohesion, SPT determine N-value soil, as well dry density relative soil. The SBC per settlement criteria laboratory evaluations its properties. This study suggests use ANFIS predict Bearing Capacity a function foundatio...

As a result of the importance foundation in engineering construction, it is important to investigate bearing capacity construction soils, this study therefore investigated soils Ayedaade Local Government Area, southwest Nigeria. To achieve aim study, soil samples were collected from selected 20 sites area. Using standard procedures, preliminary and geotechnical tests such as natural moisture co...

There is a growing interest world-wide in the development of a rational reliability-based geotechnical design code. The reason for this interest is a least two-fold; first of all, geotechnical engineers face uncertainties which are commonly significantly larger than those faced in other fields of engineering and so there is a need to properly characterize and deal with this uncertainty. Secondl...
