Evaluation of Induced Settlements of Piled Rafts in the Coupled Static-Dynamic Loads Using Neural Networks and Evolutionary Polynomial Regression by Ali Ghorbani, Mostafa Firouzi Niavol

“…Analyses are performed with respect to different axial loads and pile’s configurations, numbers, lengths, diameters, and spacing for both loading cases. Based on the results of well-validated three-dimensional finite difference modeling, artificial neural networks and evolutionary polynomial regressions are then applied and introduced as capable methods to accurately present both static and coupled static-dynamic settlements. …”

Gestion des sols et des substrats pour la nature et l’agriculture urbaines à Strasbourg : vers un renouvellement des représentations et des pratiques des circulations de matière ?... by Adrien Baysse-Lainé, Laure Cormier, Kevin Gaulier

“…Based on an exploratory qualitative survey in Strasbourg, the article investigates the modes of soil management in urban nature and agricultural projects between which tensions exist due to the differing conceptions of soils as (situated) ecosystems and as materials (to be employed for producing spaces and landscapes defined ex ante). Soil inputs from outside the sites in development are part of a linear economy, while the production of soil amendments (primarily compost) from urban waste illustrates the trend towards a circular economy. …”
