Abstract

This paper presents the application of artificial neural network (ANN) to study the strength characterization of a foundation soils in a basaltic terrain. The prediction models were developed for foundation strength characteristic California Bearing Ratio (CBR) using correlations with mechanical properties of foundation soil viz. optimum moisture content (OMC), maximum dry density (MDD), liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), and plasticity index (PI). For this study, 387 laboratory test data sets were collected for different locations in Wardha district in the state of Maharashtra, India. It has been shown that ANN was able to learn the relations between strength characteristic CBR and mechanical properties of foundation soil. The results indicated a strong correlation (r = 0.87). The performance of the developed ANN model has been validated by actual laboratory tests and a good correlation r = 0.9971 was obtained.
