This research presents the optimum performance model for predicting the shallow
foundation ultimate bearing capacity (UBC). Twenty-one models are employed, trained …

In this study, a multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) model has been developed
to predict the settlement of shallow reinforced sandy soil foundations (RSSFs). The potential …

Geotechnical engineering deals with materials (eg soil and rock) that, by their very nature,
exhibit varied and uncertain behavior because of the imprecise physical processes …

In the past, several experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out to evaluate
the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of geosynthetic-reinforced sandy soil foundations …

This study proposes regression and machine-learning techniques to develop a validated
model that predicts the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values for subgrade soil using soil …

This research investigates the bearing capacity of a ring-shaped foundation on layered sand
reinforced with a geogrid at the interface. The study employed lower and upper-bound limit …

In the recent past, the wraparound geosynthetic reinforcement technique has been
recommended for constructing the geosynthetic-reinforced soil foundations. This paper …

The bearing capacity of soil in general is considered a key parameter in the field of
geotechnical engineering, requiring field investigations and extensive testing to eliminate …

Rock masses are commonly used as the underlying layer of important structures such as
bridges, dams and transportation constructions. The success of a foundation design for such …

A major concern in the design of foundations is to achieve a precise estimation of bearing
capacity of the underlying soil or rock mass. The present study proposes a new design …
