Here we propose a new simulation-optimization model (SO) for aquifer parameter estimation
by coupling radial point collocation meshfree method (RPCM) with cat swarm optimization …

Growing demands in arid regions have increased groundwater vulnerabilities necessitating
appropriate modeling and management strategies to understand and sustain aquifer system …

Finite element analysis has become the most popular technique for studying engineering
structures in detail. It is particularly useful whenever the complexity of the geometry or of the …

Structural geologists have extensively studied fault-related folds because of their diversity,
economic significance, and relationship to seismicity. In this study, we present five series of …

In this study, the simulation–optimization (SO) model is used to identify the aquifer
parameters (flow and transport parameters) of a confined aquifer. The unknown parameters …

This paper examines the ultimate bearing capacity of energy piles in sandy and clayey soils
by conducting numerical modeling under different thermal loads, fluid-pipe configurations …

The efficiency of groundwater remediation by pump-and-treat (PAT) method is affected by
several components. The most important of these components include the pumping wells …

Groundwater can be contaminated by natural or manmade activities. The quality of
groundwater is affected by increased levels of contaminants in effluents from industries …

Abstract The Trenchless Technology (TT) is defined as a family of methods used to install,
renew, replace or renovate new pipe/box or existing pipe/box underground with little or no …

Bridge health assessment is an interdisciplinary area of high socio-economical value.
Bridge damage detection technology is one of the most developed technologies today. This …
