This study utilizes a combined approach of Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling to analyze and predict the load-displacement relationship of bored piles in clayey sand. FEM is applied to simulate the nonlinear relationship between load and vertical displacement, with input parameters including load and the mechanical properties of the soil. The results obtained from FEM are used as input data for the ANN model, enabling accurate predictions of vertical displacement based on these parameters. The findings of this study show that the predicted ultimate bearing capacity of the bored piles is highly accurate, with negligible error when compared to field experiments. The ANN model achieved a high level of accuracy, as reflected by an R2 value of 0.9992, demonstrating the feasibility of applying machine learning in pile load analysis. This research provides a novel, efficient, and feasible approach for analyzing and predicting the bearing capacity of bored piles, while also paving the way for the application of machine learning in geotechnical engineering and foundation design. The integration of FEM and ANN not only minimizes errors compared to traditional methods but also significantly reduces time and costs when compared to field experiments.
