In the field of constitutive modelling of soil behaviour, optimisation techniques have been
mostly employed as a calibration tool, particularly when several model parameters lack clear …

Association rule is one of the key techniques for data mining and knowledge discovery in
databases. Before mining association rules from numerical data, however, the variable …

In this paper, a robust image watermarking method in two-dimensional space/spatial-
frequency distributions domain is proposed which is robust against geometric distortion. This …

The complex nature of soil behaviour must be modelled with advanced constitutive models.
However, some difficulties can be highlighted that hinder the use and the development of …

For engineering applications, the complex behaviour of hard soils/soft rocks can be
modelled using advanced constitutive models, although they require a great number of …
