Shallow Bearing Capacity of Unsealed Roads Using FELA and Machine Learning
Abstract The bearing capacity of unsealed roads plays a central role in maintaining serviceability, especially because moisture variations and traffic-induced shear stresses govern the shallow surface instabilities that lead to corrugation. Traditional analytical approaches of be...
