Geotechnical engineering deals with soils and rocks and their use in engineering
constructions. By their nature, soils and rocks exhibit complex behaviours and a high level of …

Foundation scour is among the main causes of bridge collapse worldwide, resulting in
significant direct and indirect losses. A vast amount of research has been carried out during …

Coastal bridges are vulnerable to complicated hydrodynamics induced by hostile natural
hazards, relevant research is thus required to ensure the safe operation of these critical …

Prediction of the scour depth around non-uniformly spaced pile groups (PGs) is one of the
most complex problems is hydraulic engineering. Different types of empirical methods have …

Prediction of scouring characteristics is one of the major issues in hydraulic and hydrology
engineering. Over the past five decades, numerous empirical formulations (EFs), based on …

This paper proposes a novel artificial intelligence-based approach, called the metaheuristics-
optimized stacking system (MOSS), to assist civil engineers in estimating scour depth at …

The widespread use of culverts has prompted researchers to focus on develo** precise
designs to prevent their failure caused by scouring at the culvert outlet. This study employed …

Local scour depth at complex piers (LSCP) cause expensive costs when constructing
bridges. In this study, a hybrid artificial intelligence approach of random subspace (RS) meta …

For safe design of culverts, the estimation of scour depth downstream of the culvert outlet is
one of the most remarkable considerations. Poor design of culverts inevitably leads to …

Pile groups have become more popular in structural designs due to economical and
geotechnical reasons. It is also known that scour as the main cause of bridge failure can …
