A deep learning physics-informed neural network (PINN) for predicting drilled shaft axial capacity by M.E. Al-Atroush

“…Employing Meyerhof's bearing capacity equations as a physics-based constraint, the developed PINN integrated soil and geometric parameters directly into its training loss function. By combining these first-principles relationships with empirical data, the model preserved fundamental geotechnical mechanisms while refining predictive accuracy through dynamic weight adjustments between data-driven and physics-based loss components. …”
