Machine Learning in Geotechnics: Predicting Unconfined Compressive Strength of Stabilized Organic Soils Using Hybrid Models

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
It is important to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of stabilized organic soils to be used in designing of foundations. Although machine learning (ML) methods have potential, the literature does not provide overall comparisons. This research suggests a new ML model that uses support vector regression (SVR), multilayer perceptron (MLP),

Rutting Resistance of Hot Mix Asphalt Containing Coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregates Coated with Waste Plastic Bottles

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a part of coarse aggregates in asphalt pavements confers economic and environmental benefits. Coarse RCA (CRCA) has inferior mechanical and physical properties compared to natural aggregates due to very ...

Gradient Boosting‐Based Modeling of Structural Performance in Hybrid Multi‐Tube Columns

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study presents an advanced predictive framework for estimating the ultimate confined strength (fcc,u) and ultimate strain (εcc,u) of a hybrid multi‐tube concrete column (MTCC), an innovative structural system that combines a fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) outer tube, inner steel tubes, and void‐filled concrete.

Effect of aggregate gradation and bitumen type on mechanical properties of semi-flexible asphalt mixtures

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
Semi-Flexible Asphalt (SFA) mixture is a wearing course in which Open-Graded Asphalt (OGA) mixes having air voids of 20–35% are grouted with cement mortar. The grout consists of cement, sand, superplasticizer, and water.

Evaluation of the Performance of a Composite Material Made From Lateritic Soil, Crushed Granite, and Cement for Use as the Base Layer of Road Pavement

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The base layer is important for the road pavement structural performance. This study aims to monitor the performance of various local composite materials as road construction materials. To do this, an experimental study treated the improvement of geotechnical properties of a lateritic gravel, initially nonadopted as a base layer, by using three ...
