An evolutionary-based modelling approach for predicting the effective stress parameter in unsaturated soils (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Ahangar Asr, A., & Javadi, A. (2018, August). An evolutionary-based modelling approach for predicting the effective stress parameter in unsaturated soils. Presented at The 7th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils UNSAT2018, Hong Kong, China

Effective stress parameter affects the stress equation and is implemented to calculate the effective stress value which directly influences deformations and failures in unsaturated soils. Evolutionary polynomial regression is a data mining-based tech... Read More about An evolutionary-based modelling approach for predicting the effective stress parameter in unsaturated soils.
