Bearing capacity semi-empirical methods inputs for optimization

These datasets presents inputs for bearing capacity prediction methods. These methods are four well-known semi-empirical models for predicting bearing capacity of piles. The data was collected from the works of Lobo (2005), Vianna (2000) and Jr. (1988) and includes load tests and SPT measures taken from severam Brazilian regions. 

The suffix 'DQ' and 'MH', 'Av' and 'Tx' represents which method this input was obtained from, corresponding respectively to Decourt and Quaresma (1978) and Meyerhof (1983).

The columns indexes represents:

N_pile - Pile number (for reference);
N_l - SPT result for the pile lenght;
N_p - SPT result for the pile tip
L - pile lenght;
D - pile diameter;
U - pile perimeter;
A - pile section area
Qu - Pile bearing capacity, obtained through NBR 6122 load test.
