Estimation of Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing Rested on Bilayered Soil Profile Using FEM-AI-Coupled Techniques by Ahmed M. Ebid, Kennedy C. Onyelowe, M. Salah

“…The need, however, for using constitutive models or numerical methods powered by FEM and discrete element method (DEM) has been on the rise due to the versatility and robustness of these techniques to accommodate erratic soil behaviors. Multiple numerical data were generated for the case under study and artificial intelligence (AI)-based techniques; generalized reduced gradient (GRG), genetic programming (GP), artificial neural network (ANN), and evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) were used to predict the UBC. …”
