This paper presents the results of an investigation into several non-linear machine learning
and soft computing-based models, namely, feedforward neural network (FFNN), radial basis …

This study aimed to assess particle swarm optimization (PSO) optimized with an adaptive
network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for the prediction of the ultimate bearing …

The method of characteristics has been used to develop a rigorous solution for the
evaluation of seismic bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on homogenous fully …

A rigorous and practical solution aimed at accounting for the effect of groundwater in the
assessment of bearing capacity of shallow strip footings in plane strain conditions has been …

Geotechnical Engineering has developed many methods for soil improvement so far. One of
these methods is the stone column method. The structure of a stone column generally refers …

This study introduces a novel solution for seismic protection of structures based on resonant
metamaterials, named Periodic Foundation Piles, which can be integrated with deformable …

Strip foundations are the most prevalently used shallow foundations in low-rise residential
buildings in hilly regions. The strip foundations in many of these structures are often placed …

Earthquake-induced excess pore water pressures may produce significant strength and
stiffness degradation in foundation soils. Accordingly, severe loss in the bearing capacity of …

This paper investigates the bearing capacity of strip foundations resting on a cohesive-
frictional soil sloping ground under both static and seismic conditions by applying the …

A footing located on slopes possess relatively lower bearing capacity as compared to the
footing located on the level ground. The bearing capacity further reduces under seismic …
