Abstract: A new approach for predicting local scour downstream of grade-control structures based on neural networks is presented. An explicit neural networks formulation (ENNF) is developed using a transfer function (sigmoid) and ...

Abstract: This study presents gene-expression programming (GEP), which is an extension to genetic programming, as an alternative approach to modeling stage–discharge relationship. The results obtained are compared to more conventional ...

Abstract: The study investigates the accuracy of linear genetic programming (LGP), which is an extension to genetic programming (GP) technique, in daily reference evapotranspiration

Abstract: This is a pioneer study that presents genetic programming (GP) as a new tool for prediction of local scour downstream of grade-control structures. The objective of this study is to provide an alternative formulation to ...

Abstract: Bridge-pier scour is a significant problem for the safety of bridges. Extensive laboratory and field studies have been conducted examining the effect of relevant variables. This note presents an alternative to the conventional ...
