The feasibility of PSO–ANFIS in estimating bearing capacity of strip foundations rested on cohesionless slope

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 capacity of strip footing resting on a sloping crest. To make datasets, a 2524 finite element model (FEM) simulation analysis was performed. In this sense, the k-fold validation technique selected for the selection of the testing and validation purposes. Also, the...
