In this paper, results of a project aimed at modelling the compressive strength of cement mortar under standard curing conditions are reported. Plant data were collected for 6 months for the chemical and physical properties ...

Models whose parameters were optimized by genetic algorithm (GA) were developed to predict the longitudinal dispersion coefficient in natural channels. Following the existing equations in the literature, ten different ...

This study employed four methods-non-linear regression, fuzzy logic (FL), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and genetic algorithm (GA)-based nonlinear equation-for predicting mean discharge and bank-full discharge from ...

It is essential to predict suspended sediment load for understanding river morphology, design of dams, water supply problems, management of reservoirs and determination of pollution levels in rivers. The suspended sediment ...

Establishing a clear overview of data discharge availability for water balance modelling in basins is a priority in Europe, and in the particular in the framework of the system of Economic and Environmental Accounts for ...

Mathematical (analytical, numerical and optimization) models are employed in many disciplines including the water resources planning, engineering and management. These models can vary from a simple black-box model to a ...

This study investigates sediment load prediction and generalization from laboratory scale to field scale using principle component analysis (PCA) in conjunction with data driven methods of artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
