This study investigated the effect of using phase change materials (PCMs) in a cabinet dryer
on thermal and drying efficiency. Three positions related to PCM inside the cabinet were …

Contradicting natures of volcanic ash (VA)-and ground granulated blast furnace slag
(GGBFS)-based geopolymers with regard to their need for being exposed to a heating …

Concrete is weak in tension, so steel fibres are added to the concrete members to increase
shear capability. The shear capacity of steel fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is …

Predicting the bearing capacity is one of the tasks that geotechnical engineers do on a daily
basis, yet the accuracy of the available methods needs to be further improved. This paper …

Symbolic regression (SR) can be utilized to unveil the underlying mathematical expressions
that describe a given set of observed data. At present, SR can be categorized into two …

Settlement limitation is one of the major concerns for the designers of machine foundation as
machines are very sensitive to settlement. This restricted criterion necessitates the need for …

With reference to the current focus on urban redevelopment issue, the evaluation of the
projects plays a central role for the definition of effective urban development policies. In the …

This paper assesses the capability of using a new data‐driven approach to predict the bond
strength between steel rebar and concrete subjected to high temperatures. The analysis has …

Calcium carbonate-enriched marl is supposed to lose the bearing capacity while subjected
to an increase/decrease in the moisture content and under the effect of multiple freeze–thaw …

Drinking water demand modelling and forecasting is a crucial task for sustainable
management and planning of water supply systems. Despite many short-term investigations …
