A low computational cost seismic analyses framework for 3D tunnel-form building structures (2022)
Journal Article

Numerical modeling of tunnel-form buildings entails the utilization of 3D finite element models consisting of large numbers of shell and fiber elements. Accordingly, the non-linear analysis of such models under seismic excitations is both time-consum...

Strength predictive modelling of soils treated with calcium-based additives blended with eco-friendly pozzolans—A machine learning approach (2022)
Journal Article

The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of a stabilised soil is a major mechanical parameter in understanding and developing geomechanical models, and it can be estimated directly by either lab testing of retrieved core samples or remoulded samples...
