Abstract
Collapse, defined as the additional deformation of compacted soils when wetted, is believed to be responsible for damage to buildings resting on compacted fills, as well as failure in embankments and earth dams. In this chapter, two surrogate model building techniques, MARS and BPNN, are employed as computational tools to predict the amount of collapse and to investigate the influence of various parameters on the collapse potential.
