Abstract
Many civil engineering problems are based on an understanding of relationships between variables. Many of these variables are established from experimental or numerical observations and are defined in terms of algebraic expressions involving the variables. This paper focuses on the potential applications of neural networks for evaluating the relationships between these variables and for modelling complex multivariate systems. Demonstration of the potential of this approach is illustrated through the example of the prediction of wall deflections for braced excavations in clay.
