Abstract

The paper presents a method of application of an ANN (Artificial Neural Network) to predict the permeability coefficient k in sandy soils: FSa, MSa, CSa. To develop an ANN the results of permeability coefficients from pumping and consolidation tests were applied. The proposed ANN with an architecture 6-8-1 predicts the value of permeability coefficient k based on the following parameters: soil type, relative density I D , void ratio e and effective soil diameter d 10 . The mean relative error and single maximum value of the relative error for the proposed ANN are following: Mean RE = ±4%, Max RE = 7.59%. The use of the ANN to predict the soil permeability coefficient allows the reduction of the costs and time needed to conduct laboratory or field tests to determine this parameter.
