Using only the existing experimental databases and artificial intelligence, the goal was to predict the experimental results as supporting information before performing the physical experiments. Emphasis was placed on the significance of data from 20 loading cycles of cyclic undrained triaxial tests to determine the liquefaction resistance and the contribution of each explanatory variable. Different combinations of explanatory variables were considered. Regarding the predictive model, it was observed that a case with the liquefaction resistance ratio as the dependent variable and other parameters as explanatory variables yielded favorable results. In terms of exploring combinations of explanatory variables, it was found advantageous to include all the variables, as doing so consistently resulted in a high coefficient of determination. The inclusion of the liquefaction resistance ratio in the training data was found to improve the predictive accuracy. In addition, the results obtained when using a linear model for the prediction suggested the potential to accurately predict the liquefaction resistance using historical data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/make6010020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,14]],"date-time":"2024-02-14T09:30:18Z","timestamp":1707903018000},"page":"402-419","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Machine Learning Predictive Analysis of Liquefaction Resistance for Sandy Soils Enhanced by Chemical Injection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Yuxin","family":"Cong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Engineering and Science, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Tokyo 135-8548, Japan"}]},{"given":"Toshiyuki","family":"Motohashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Osaka Bousui Construction Co., Ltd., Osaka 543-0016, Japan"}]},{"given":"Koki","family":"Nakao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Engineering and Science, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Tokyo 135-8548, Japan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5639-5254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shinya","family":"Inazumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Tokyo 135-8548, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"81","DOI":"10.3208\/sandf1972.15.4_81","article-title":"Brief review of liquefaction during earthquakes in Japan","volume":"15","author":"Kuribayashi","year":"1975","journal-title":"Soils Found."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2375","DOI":"10.1007\/s11069-012-0433-9","article-title":"Review of soil liquefaction characteristics during major earthquakes of the twenty-first century","volume":"65","author":"Huang","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nat.
