Predicting ε50 for Lateral Behavior of Piles in Marine Clay Using an Evolutionary Based Approach

Analyzing piles subjected to lateral loads significantly depends on soil resistance at any point along the pile as a function of pile deflection, known as p-y curve. On the other hand, the deformation characteristics of soil defined as “the soil strain at 50% of maximum deviatoric stress (ε50)” has...
