... in volumetric water content and crest settlement. Results revealed critical thresholds between 85 and 90 mm/h for the test material, beyond which infiltration accelerated and deformation intensified. Seven regression-based machine learning models, namely, support vector regression, K-nearest neighbours, random...

...Oladipo Omotoso, PhD, PEng A model for predicting the settlement trajectory in saturated fluid fine tailings deposits is described. The model uses a population growth function and leverages established theories in soil mechanics, clay–water surface interactions and biogeochemistry to derive...
