Ground vibration induced by mine blasting is the most significant adverse effect on nearby
residents and surroundings. Accurate prediction of blasting vibration using limited monitor …

The calorific value of solid fuels, also referred to as the gross calorific value (GCV) or the
higher heating value (HHV), is a crucial property for its use as a fuel in energy systems. The …

In complex tropical granitic terrains, foundation rocks' bearing strength is important in
infrastructure design, while bedrock fractures that adversely impact engineering structures …

A data-driven approach is used to show the significant discrepancy between the coefficients
of permeability that are estimated through packer field tests and those back-calculated from …

Permeability is one of the important issues that must be considered in the investigation of
dam sites. Determination of this parameter in the boreholes is time-consuming, costly, and in …

Tunnel heading stability in two dimensions (2D) has been extensively investigated by
numerous scholars in the past decade. One significant limitation of 2D analysis is the …

Simulation-optimization methods are widely used in dewatering optimization. However,
traditional simulation–optimization methods do not address the optimization of well screen …

This paper aims to investigate the effects of uncertainty in soil characteristics and dam
geometry on seepage flow using the hybrid Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines …
