Abstract
The feed-forward neural network was used to simulate the
behaviour of soil samples in uniaxial strain conditions,
i.e. to predict the oedometer test results only on the basis
of the basic soil properties. Artificial neural network
was trained using the database of 217 samples of different
cohesive soils from various locations in Slovenia. Good
agreement between neural network predictions and laboratory
test results was observed for the test samples. This
study confirms the link between basic soil properties and
stress-strain soil behaviour and demonstrates that artificial
neural network can be successfully used as an effective
alternative empirical material model.
