Dataset and graphical user interface (GUI) for macro-element modeling of scoured bridge pile-group foundations in cohesionless soils

This upload contains a dataset and a graphical user interface (GUI) for macro-element modeling of scoured bridge pile-group foundations in sandy soils toward rapid, simplified limit-ductility seismic design. The dataset includes 2,400 input-output data, where the inputs are the foundation design parameters and the outputs are the macro-element parameters. The GUI incorporates support vector regression (SVR) and artificial neuron network (ANN) models (which are developed based on the dataset) to obtain the macro-element parameters with the input of foundation design parameters. Please note that the GUI is currently compatible exclusively with the Windows operating system. It is recommended to install it on a drive other than the C drive. When initiating the executable file, a security alert from Microsoft Defender may appear; users should select “Run anyway” to proceed. The required MATLAB Runtime environment will be downloaded and installed automatically to facilitate the execution of the interface.
