The increase in rainfall intensities due to climate change affect the entire globe. In particular, Singapore suffers from floods and rising of coastlines. Notably, Bukit Timah Region Singapore, are getting more intense, region houses multitudes low-rise constructions with shallow foundations. Damages ranging physical, terms motor vehicle property damages, intangible losses such as major traffic...

Abstract The calculation of the long-term dynamic bearing capacity arises from need to consider generation maximum pore-water pressure developed a cyclic load. Under suitable conditions, equilibrium situation would be reached, when pressures stabilized. However, excess can lead softening. Consequently, it is necessary define both cohesion and internal friction angle calculate foundation in long...

A current challenge in unsaturated soil mechanics is the need to estimate ground heave and associated shallow foundation movements expansive soils due water content changes. Such estimation should be simple for geotechnical engineering practitioners provide reliable designs through quantifying risk with heave. The difficulties generalizing a method are related several variables influencing beha...

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...

FFoundations are important parts of many construction projects. Piles or piled foundations used in the cases where structural loads cannot be carried safely with shallow foundations. In this study, it is aimed to investigate and compare bearing capacity sitting settlement rafts raft For purpose, a test setup was formed loading tests were out on model foundation. The results can serve as referen...
