dc.description.abstractAdvances in field of artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities of utilizing new algorithms and models that enable researchers to solve the most complex systems. As in other engineering fields, AI methods have widely been used in geotechnical engineering. Unlikely, there seems quite insufficient number of research related to the use of AI methods for the estimation of California bearing ratio (CBR). There were actually some attempts to develop prediction models for CBR, but most of these models were essentially statistical correlations. Nevertheless, many of these statistical correlation equations generally produce unsatisfactory CBR values. However, this paper is likely one of the very first research which aims to investigate the applicability of AI methods for prediction of CBR. In this context, artificial neural network (ANN) and gene expression programming (GEP) were applied for the prediction of CBR of fine grained soils from Southeast Anatolia Region/Turkey. Using CBR test data of fine grained soils, some proper models are successfully developed. The results have shown that the both ANN and GEP are found to be able to learn the relation between CBR and basic soil properties. Additionally, sensitivity analysis is performed and it is found that maximum dry unit weight (gamma(d)) is the most effective parameter on CBR among the others such as plasticity index (PI), optimum moisture content (W-opt), sand content (S), clay + silt content (C + S), liquid limit (LL) and gravel content (G) respectively.
