abstract = "This study presents the development of a new model
obtained from the correlation of dynamic input and SPT
data with pile capacity. An evolutionary algorithm,
gene expression programming (GEP), was used for
modelling the correlation. The data used for model
development comprised 24 cases obtained from existing
literature. The modelling was carried out by dividing
the data into two sets: a training set for model
calibration and a validation set for verifying the
generalisation capability of the model. The performance
of the model was evaluated by comparing its predictions
of pile capacity with experimental data and with
predictions of pile capacity by two commonly used
traditional methods and the artificial neural networks
(ANNs) model. It was found that the model performs well
with a coefficient of determination, mean, standard
deviation and probability density at 50percent
equivalent to 0.94, 1.08, 0.14, and 1.05, respectively,
for the training set, and 0.96, 0.95, 0.13, and 0.93,
respectively, for the validation set. The low values of
the calculated mean squared error and mean absolute
error indicated that the model is accurate in
predicting pile capacity. The results of comparison
also showed that the model predicted pile capacity more
accurately than traditional methods including the ANNs
model.",
