Abstract
Empirical design solutions are commonly used to analyse many geotechnical problems. This paper illustrates through the practical example of the prediction of seismic liquefaction, the potential of neural networks to synthesise data for the development of empirical design aids. A back-propagation neural network was used, and training was carried out using actual field records. The proposed computer model provides rapid results, is more reliable than the more conventional method and can be continually retrained as additional data is acquired.
