Air losses through the tunnel face in compressed air tunneling : a case study (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Ahangar Asr, A., & Javadi, A. (2015, September). Air losses through the tunnel face in compressed air tunneling : a case study. Presented at 16th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Edinburgh, UK

In this study field measurement data from Feldmoching tunnel in Munich were used to develop a model with the capability of predicting the air losses in compressed air tunnelling technique. In this tunnelling project, compressed air was used to contro... Read More about Air losses through the tunnel face in compressed air tunneling : a case study.

An evolutionary approach to modelling the thermo-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils (2015)
Journal Article
Ahangar Asr, A., Javadi, A., & Khalili, N. (2015). An evolutionary approach to modelling the thermo-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, 39(5), 539-557. https://doi.org/10.1002/nag.2323

A new data mining approach is presented for modelling of the stress-strain and volume change behaviour of unsaturated soils considering temperature effects. The proposed approach is based on the evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR), which unlike...

A surrogate model for simulation–optimization of aquifer systems subjected to seawater intrusion (2015)
Journal Article
Hussain, M., Javadi, A., Ahangar Asr, A., & Farmani, R. (2015). A surrogate model for simulation–optimization of aquifer systems subjected to seawater intrusion. Journal of Hydrology, 523, 542-554. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2015.01.079

This study presents the application of Evolutionary Polynomial Regression (EPR) as a pattern recognition system to predicate the behavior of nonlinear and computationally complex aquifer systems subjected to seawater intrusion (SWI). The developed E... Read More about A surrogate model for simulation–optimization of aquifer systems subjected to seawater intrusion.

A new evolutionary approach to geotechnical and geo-environmental modelling (2015)
Book Chapter
Hussain, M., Ahangar Asr, A., Chen, Y., & Javadi, A. (2015). A new evolutionary approach to geotechnical and geo-environmental modelling. In A. Gandomi Conor Ryan, A. Alavi, & R. Conor (Eds.), Handbook of Genetic Programming Applications (483-499). Springer International Publishing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-20883-1_19

In many cases, models based on certain laws of physics can be developed to describe the behaviour of physical systems. However, in case of more complex phenomena with less known or understood contributing parameters or variables the physics-based mod...
