This online tool features a Support Vector Regressor to predict the axial load capacity of pile foundations given soil type, average SPT-N values, pile type and open/closed end condition, pile cross sectional area, circumference and length. The process is outlined in:
Machairas, N. P., and Iskander, M. G. (2018). “An Investigation of Pile Design Utilizing Advanced Data Analytics.” Proceedings of the International Foundations Congress and Equipment Expo 2018, ADSC-The International Association of Foundation Drilling, DFI (Deep Foundations Institute), G-I (Geo-Institute of American Society of Civil Engineers), and PDCA (Pile Driving Contractors Association), March 5-10, 2018, Orlando, Florida.
This tool is offered without any warranties about the accuracy of the predicted capacity. The predicted capacity is a result of approximation by scientific methodologies. The authors' sole intent is to further advance the field of Geotechnical Engineering and are not offering this online tool as a design aid. Use to learn and experiment, do not design piles based on the numbers you get below.
