This paper presents a new practical modeling approach, based on the beam-on-a-nonlinear Winkler foundation (BNWF) model, to simulate the 3D rocking, vertical and horizontal responses of shallow foundations using structural elements that are readily available in the element library of commercially av

This study explores the potential of neurofuzzy computing paradigm to predict the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. The neurofuzzy models combine the transparent, linguistic representation of a fuzzy system with the learning ability of Artificial Neural Networks
It is widely known that the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation is reduced when the foundation is subjected to rocking moments and horizontal loads during an earthquake event. Analytical solutions generally require an assumption to be made of the kinematic failure mechanism in the soil, when th
