In this study, a model for the estimation of the compressive strength of concretes incorporating metakaolin is developed and parametrically evaluated, using soft computing …
Accurate and reliable predictions of rock deformations are crucial in many rock-based projects in civil and mining engineering. In this research, a new system for the prediction of …
The application of artificial neural networks in mapping the mechanical characteristics of the cement-based materials is underlined in previous investigations. However, this machine …
When designing flat slabs made of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC), it is very important to predict their punching shear capacity accurately. The use of machine learning seems to …
The main focus of the present work is to offer an auto-tuning model, called cat swarm optimization (CSO), to predict rock fragmentation. This population-based method has a …
This study aims to propose hybrid adaptive neuro swarm intelligence (HANSI) techniques for predicting the thermal conductivity of unsaturated soils. The novel contribution is made by …
A proper planning schedule for tunnel boring machine (TBM) construction is considered as a necessary and difficult task in tunneling projects. Therefore, prediction of TBM performance …
The deformation of a Geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) structure is a key factor in designing this type of retaining structures. On the other hand, the feasibility of artificial intelligence …
Blasting operations typically have several negative impacts upon human beings and constructions in adjacent region. Among all, air-overpressure (AOp) has been persistently …
