This research presents the optimum performance model for predicting the shallow
foundation ultimate bearing capacity (UBC). Twenty-one models are employed, trained …

Geotechnical engineering deals with materials (eg soil and rock) that, by their very nature,
exhibit varied and uncertain behavior because of the imprecise physical processes …

An accurate correlation for the smooth sphere drag coefficient with wide range of
applicability is a useful tool in the field of particle technology. The present study focuses on …

This study examines the potential of the soft computing technique—namely, Gaussian
process regression (GPR), to predict the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of cohesionless …

Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of intact limestone rocks is very significant in
geotechnical engineering in order to design structures that are currently being built on/in …

An accurate prediction of tunnel boring machine (TBM) performance is one of the complex
and crucial issues encountered frequently in tunnel construction, which is the aim of the …

Ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is a key subject in geotechnical/foundation engineering as
it determines the limit of loads imposed on the foundation. The most reliable means of …

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 …

The stability of the foundations of a building may be seriously harmed by excavations (eg,
tunneling) or cavities (eg, rock dissolution) underneath. It may be difficult and time …

Geotechnical engineering practices involves the use of geosynthetic as one of the major
construction materials for stabilizing terrains and these materials have been also proven to …
