Abstract
Modeling of material behavior generally involves the
development of mathematical model derived from observations
and experimental data. An alternative way discussed in this
paper, is neural network based modeling that a subfield of
artificial intelligence. The main benefit in using a neural
network approach is that the network is built directly from
experimental or theoretical data using the self organizing
capabilities of the neural network.
In this article, a back-propagation neural network package (NETICE) was presented which has been developed for use in general purpose. NETICE (Neural nETworks In Civil Engineering) has been used in the design of edge supported reinforced concrete slabs and the results were presented in this study. It has been observed that the results given by the network has a high approximation when compared with the conventional solution. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
