Soil mechanics as a field of science has been developed for over a century. One of its most
important issues is determination of soil strength. Despite passing years, there is still no …

Reliable assessment of soil mechanical parameters causes many problems due to its
random nature, and therefore the literature on the subject provides many techniques in this …

In recent years, the pocket penetrometer (PPT) test has been used to measure soil
compaction and has gained attention due to its simplicity, high speed, and low cost. This …

Railway tracks, like all civil works, experience degradation after being put into service, thus
losing their initial design conditions. This degradation manifests itself mainly through …

Red-bed mudstone (RBM) has the characteristics of being easily softened and disintegrated
under dry and wet cycles. To investigate the weakening and disintegration characteristics of …

This study aims to predict the undrained shear strength of remolded soil samples using
nonlinear regression analyses, fuzzy logic, and artificial neural network modeling. A total of …
