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.
