This study presents empirical ground-motion models (GMMs) for estimating Arias intensity
(IA), cumulative absolute velocity (CAV) and significant ground-motion duration (D5–75 and …

This paper investigates the performance of four multi-objective optimization algorithms,
namely non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), multi-objective particle swarm …

This research focuses on the slope stability analysis of rubble mound breakwaters using the
Bishop method, with a specific application to the Chamkhaleh Port in the Caspian Sea …

The production of fisheries and shrimp has been twice every 10 years for the previous five
decades, making it the most rapidly expanding food industry. This growth is due to intensive …

The study presents the investigation of the elastic behavior of the soil in the optimal design
of continuous foundations according to the rigid solid case. For the investigation, the …

Piano Key Weirs (PKWs) have recently been used as new or rehabilitation options in the
world because of their advantages in hydraulic performance and construction costs …

This work presents a new model for obtaining the cheapest design for a rectangular isolated
footing, taking into account that the column is located in any part of the footing. The …

In this study, we utilize two metaheuristic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and
biogeography-based optimization, to select and scale ground motion (GM) records for use in …

In buildings, the transfer of external and internal loads starting from the roof and the top floor
should gradually be carried towards the lower floors through column elements in a safe way …

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the soil slope on the cost-
efficient optimum design of reinforced concrete isolated footings. In contrast to previous …
