Lateral load bearing capacity modelling of piles in cohesive soils in undrained conditions: An intelligent evolutionary approach
Bearing capacity of laterally loaded piles buried in cohesive soils under critical undrained conditions was considered in this contribution. An evolutionary data mining technique was implemented to develop a model based on a comprehensive field measurements database. Results were compared with outcomes of two empirical models and an artificial neural network-based model from literature. The presented model was shown to be very robust and with strong capabilities in capturing and reproducing load bearing capacity behaviour of piles under lateral loading.
