Abstract

In the present study, an artificial neural network (ANN) application is introduced for estimation of damage level of reinforced concrete structures. Back-propagation learning algorithm is adopted. A typical neural network architecture is proposed and some conclusions are presented. Applicability of artificial neural network (ANN) for the assessment of earthquake related damage is investigated

Keywords

Damage level, artificial neural networks, earthquake
