Abstract
Accurate prediction of pile bearing capacity is an important part of foundation engineering. Notably, the determination of pile bearing capacity through an in situ load test is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, this study focused on developing a machine learning algorithm, namely, Ensemble Learning (EL), using weight voting protocol of three base machine learning algorithms, gradient boosting (GB), random forest (RF), and classic linear regression (LR), to predict the bearing capacity of the pile. Data includes 108 pile load tests under different conditions used for model training and testing. Performance evaluation indicators such as R-square (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and MAE (mean absolute error) were used to evaluate the performance of models showing the efficiency of predicting pile bearing capacity with outstanding performance compared to other models. The results also showed that the EL model with a weight combination of
= 0.482,
= 0.338, and
= 0.18 corresponding to the models GB, RF, and LR gave the best performance and achieved the best balance on all data sets. In addition, the global sensitivity analysis technique was used to detect the most important input features in determining the bearing capacity of the pile. This study provides an effective tool to predict pile load capacity with expert performance.
