Geotechnical engineering deals with soils and rocks and their use in engineering
constructions. By their nature, soils and rocks exhibit complex behaviours and a high level of …

Different artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been applied to various aspects of rock
mechanics, but the fact that none of these methods have been used as a standard implies …

Estimating surface settlement induced by excavation construction is an indispensable task in
tunneling, particularly for earth pressure balance (EPB) shield machines. In this study …

Complex geological conditions and/or inappropriate shield tunnel boring machine (TBM)
operation can significantly degrade both the excavation and safety of tunnel construction. In …

It was 35 years ago since the first usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique in
geotechnical engineering, during those years many (AI) techniques were developed based …

In order to determine the appropriate model for predicting the maximum surface settlement
caused by EPB shield tunneling, three artificial neural network (ANN) methods, back …

This study utilizes the support vector regression (SVR) model to predict the tunnel crown
displacement (TCD) induced by the blasting excavation. 95 blasting operations considering …

This paper presents a novel hybrid model designed for predicting mountain tunnel
deformation during construction, incorporating both temporal and static factors. Utilizing a …

In an age of depleting earth due to global warming impacting badly on the ozone layer of the
earth system, the need to employ technologies to substitute those engineering practices …

Load prediction of tunnel boring machines (TBMs) is crucial for the design and safe
operation of these complex engineering systems. However, to date, studies have mostly …
