A Neural Network Approach for Estimating Model Parameters of Rockfill Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Duncan-Change constitutive model of rockfill materials is used to characterize the behaviors of modeled rockfill materials. A parameter estimation procedure based on neural network is developed. The material parameters for the rockfill materials are determined from the experimental results of triaxial compression. The investigation results reveal that the identified model parameters can provide satisfactory prediction of the behavior of the rockfill materials tested.
