Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not based on making robots or machines, it is about making an artificial mind that can solve
problems like a human mind. Creating an artificial mind to simulate human behaviour is one of the main aim of the
researchers and scientists all over the world. AI is prominent in handling uncertainty principles and non-linearity issues.
The behaviour of pile foundations in soils is complex, uncertain, and not yet entirely understood. This fact has
encouraged many researchers to apply the AI techniques for prediction and modelling of the behaviour of pile
foundations, including the Ultimate Bearing Capacity (UBC), settlement estimation and load-settlement response.
Among the above-mentioned factors UBC is the most important aspect of soil. The aim of this project is to predict the
UBC of pile foundation on cohesive and cohesionless soils.
The Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been applied to find the UBC on cohesive and cohesionless soils by using
nntool in MATLAB. Totally 128 data for cohesionless soil and 164 data for cohesive soil were collected from different
sources. 60% of total data sets is used for training and remaining is used for testing. After several attempts back
propagation neural network was efficient to provide us 88% accuracy for cohesive soil and 95% accuracy for
cohesionless soil samples.

Conclusion: Based on the results the neural network was successfully used in modelling the non-linear relationship
between ultimate bearing capacity and other parameters.
