Abstract Geo-engineering problems are known for their complexity and high uncertainty levels, requiring precise definitions, past experiences, logical reasoning, mathematical analysis, and practical insight to address them effectively. Soft Computing (SC) methods have gained popularity in engineering disciplines such as mining and civil engineering due to computer hardware and machine learning advancements. Unlike traditional hard computing approaches, SC models use soft values and fuzzy sets to navigate uncertain environments. This study focuses on the application of SC methods to predict backbreak, a common issue in blasting operations within mining and civil projects. Backbreak, which refers to More >
