Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system or the network-based fuzzy (ANFIS) has been deployed to predict swelling potential (SP) treated weak soil. The soil was with quicklime activated rice husk ash (QARHA) and prediction efficiency compared previous outcomes this operation from literature. need for effective utilization construction materials achieve su...

optimization of maintenance resources to maximize the system availability is a major concern in different manufacturing systems. therefore, a lot of effort is put to construct optimization models to reach the maximum availability level and to reduce the costs of lack of availability. however, despite these efforts, data uncertainty in the real world problems was neglected in proposed models whi...

Although forest road networks are an important infrastructure for forestry, recreation, and sustainable management, they have a considerable effect on the environment. Therefore, detailed analysis of various benefits associated costs network construction is needed. The cost earthwork in can be estimated based change topography before after construction. However, accurate estimation volume may n...

The soil water retention curve (SWRC) or soil–water characteristic (SWCC) is a fundamental feature of unsaturated that simply shows the relationship between suction and content (in terms degree saturation volumetric gravimetric content). In this study, applications SWRC SWCC have been extensively reviewed, taking about 403 previously published research studies into consideration. This was achie...

due to project evaluation complexity and resource constraints, the project portfolio optimization is numerous decision making challenges. hence, many researches have been done to introduce model and methods for portfolio optimization. but most of them have not considered the interaction between projects. considering the interactions between projects increase complexity of portfolio optimization...

optimization of reservoir parameters is an important issue in petroleum exploration and production. the ant colony optimization(aco) is a recent approach to solve discrete and continuous optimization problems. in this paper, the ant colony optimization is usedas an intelligent tool to estimate reservoir rock properties. the methodology is illustrated by using a case study on shear wave velocity...

In civil engineering and building construction, the earthwork volume calculation is one of most important factors in design construction stages; therefore, an accurate necessary. Moreover, because managing earthworks highly important, this study, a three-dimensional (3D) model for management was performed using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) RGB camera. Vertical high-oblique images (45°, 60°, 75...
