Abstract
Predicting the nonlinear load response of caisson foundations is critical to the foundation design. Despite extensive studies aimed at developing models for predicting the combined V-H-M bearing capacity of suction caissons in clay, accurately predicting the three-dimensional (3D) deflection response of the foundation remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we present a novel solution by developing a fully connected (FC) neural network model that enables load-deflection prediction of suction caissons on clay. To train and evaluate the FC model, a series of 3D finite element simulations were performed covering caissons responses with an embedment ratio of up to 1. The effect of various model hyperparameters on the model's prediction accuracy and generalisation ability was systematically investigated. The results show that the proposed model achieves load-deflection response prediction with simplicity, efficiency and accuracy, demonstrating the significant potential of deep learning technology in the geotechnical design of foundations.

| Other | OSIG is the longest standing international conference series of this type. It brings together the offshore Geotechnical, Geophysical & Geoscientific industry & academic communities to share the latest research, knowledge and experience. Building on the success of previous events, the programme will encompass a wide range of technical themes, aiming to attract hundreds of international delegates. Social and networking events are also being programmed, culminating in a dinner and evening event at the Natural History Museum, London, with an exciting guest speaker. |
