Geotechnical engineering data are usually small-sample and high-dimensional, which
brings a lot of challenges in predictive modeling. This paper uses a typical high-dimensional …

Tensile stress is a major parameter controlling the desiccation cracking, which may incur the
tensile failure of expansive soil slopes. In this study, a series of experiments was performed …

Compression index C c is an essential parameter in geotechnical design for which the
effectiveness of correlation is still a challenge. This paper suggests a novel modelling …

Obtaining geotechnical design parameters by conducting in situ or laboratory testing has
always been challenging because of difficulty involved with handling, transportation, release …

Accurate assessment of undrained shear strength (USS) for soft sensitive clays is a great
concern in geotechnical engineering practice. This study applies novel data-driven extreme …

With the recent emphasis on large-scale civil engineering constructions, artificial intelligence
in the construction activities has received importance. Compressibility behavior is an …

The compression modulus (Es) is one of the most significant soil parameters that affects the
compressive deformation of geotechnical systems, such as foundations. However, it is …

The study proposes an improved Harris hawks optimization (IHHO) algorithm by integrating
the standard Harris hawks optimization (HHO) algorithm and mutation-based search …

Expansive soils pose significant challenges to structural integrity, primarily due to volumetric
changes that can lead to detrimental consequences and substantial economic losses. This …

The secondary consolidation settlement occurs in soft-grained soils after the primary
consolidation settlement. This settlement affects the serviceability performance of surface …
