The utilization of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for bearing capacity estimation has some disadvantages such as getting trapped in local minima and slow rate of learning. Recent developments of optimization algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) have made it possible to overcome ANN...
