The objective of this study is to develop data-driven predictive models for seismic energy dissipation of rocking shallow foundations during earthquake loading using multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms and experimental data from a rocking foundations database. Three nonlinear, nonparametric ML algorithms are considered: k-nearest neighbors regression (KNN), support vector regression (SVR) and decision tree regression (DTR). The input features to ML algorithms include critical contact area ratio, slenderness ratio and rocking coefficient of rocking system, and peak ground acceleration and Arias intensity of earthquake motion. A randomly split pair of training and testing datasets is used for initial evaluation of the models and hyperparameter tuning. Repeated k-fold cross validation technique is used to further evaluate the performance of ML models in terms of bias and variance using mean absolute percentage error. It is found that all three ML models perform better than multivariate linear regression model, and that both KNN and SVR models consistently outperform DTR model. On average, the accuracy of KNN model is about 16% higher than that of SVR model, while the variance of SVR model is about 27% smaller than that of KNN model, making them both excellent candidates for modeling the problem considered.
