The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the performance of different
machine learning (ML) algorithms, namely, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Extreme …

The study of deformable soils is one of the key factors in determining the tire, vehicle and/or
agricultural tool design parameters. This literature review provides a brief overview of soil …

This paper focuses on the effects of particle size distribution on shear strength of
accumulation soil. A series of direct shear box tests and triaxial tests were performed to …

Shear stress concentrations may promote damage and failure processes. Quantities of
studies have focused on the direct shear loading test, while the analytical model has not yet …

A micro-mechanical model to study the microscopic and macroscopic behavior of
unsaturated soils under different suctions is proposed in this study. In the model, a novel …

This research proposes an alternative for estimating shear strength of soil based on a
hybridization of Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) …

The stochastic analysis of unsaturated rainfall-induced slope instability has been studied by
many researchers. However, the applicability of random FEM (RFEM) has not been used …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

A series of clay shale specimens in equilibrium with various humidity conditions were used
to establish the water retention characteristics, the influence of suction on ultrasonic p-wave …

Shear strength is a crucial property of soils regarded as its intrinsic capacity to resist failure
when forces act on the soil mass. This study proposes an advanced meta-leaner to discern …
