In this research work, finite element method (FEM) and 2D Plaxis were employed to generate numerical values for bilayered soils bearing a strip footing of width B and depths, h and H, in order to predict the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of the strip footing underlain by layered soil profile. Several research works have tried to solve bearing capacity problems using limit equilibrium (LE) techniques. But, the LE techniques have limitations in terms of soil properties and profile arrangement. 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. In order to conduct the parametric analysis to investigate the effect of different soil layers, footing width and overburden pressure at foundation level on the ultimate bearing capacity sets of finite element models were prepared. This was executed using the following soil properties: soil type of top layer (from S1 to S6), soil type of bottom layer (from S1 to S6), strip footing width (B) (from 1.0 to 5.0 m), thickness of the top layer (h) (from 0.5 B to 1.0 B), overburden pressure |
