Unsaturated soils used as compacted subgrade, backfill, or foundation materials react
unfavorably under hydraulically bound environments due to swell and shrink cycles in …

ABSTRACT AI-based bi-input predictive models have been executed to forecast the bulk
density, linear and volumetric shrinkages and desiccation cracking of HSDA-treated black …

Geotechnical engineering deals with materials (eg, soil and rock) that, by their very nature,
exhibit varied and uncertain behaviour due to the imprecise physical processes associated …

Abstract We discuss Evolutionary Computation, in particular Genetic Programming, as
examples of drawing inspiration from biological systems. We set the choice of evolution as a …

Soil compaction is one of the basic engineering techniques, which is carried out to
guarantee the stability of soils dependent on specified strength. Nonetheless, in large-scale …

Geotechnical engineering deals with the study of geomaterials and their interaction with the
environment. Soil is one of the complex engineering materials that behave non-linearly …

Geotechnical Engineering largely focuses on the complex nature of soils and rocks.
Because this complexity creates a high level of ambiguity in the imitation of these materials' …

Surface or shallow compaction is one of the earliest, cheapest and commonly used
techniques to improve the physical and mechanical properties of loose soil specially for …

Soil suction is a critical stress-state variable essential to characterize the behaviour of
unsaturated soils. The evaluation of soil suction is challenging in both field and laboratory …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the influences of soil index properties, swelling
parameters, and soil mineralogy on unsaturated shear strength parameters (ϕ', ϕb, c') of …
