Reliability-Based Slope Stability Analysis Using Particle Swarm-Optimized Neural Network: Benchmarking Against Conventional Probabilistic Methods Using a Lebanese Case Study

Probabilistic slope stability analysis requires tools that are both computationally efficient and accurate for uncertainty propagation. This study develops a reliability-oriented surrogate framework coupling a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network with particle swarm op...

Analyzing Interrelationships Between Asphalt Pavement Distresses Across Multiple Lebanese Regions Using Association Rule Mining for Enhanced Maintenance Strategies

Pavement distresses play a pivotal role in evaluating roadway conditions and guiding maintenance strategies. In many instances, these distresses arise from construction deficiencies, substandard material quality, or inadequate maintenance practices, rather than from inherent desi...
