Neural Networks in Civil Engineering Issues Neural Networks is the name of mathematical structures built with artificial neurons which task is mapping the specific functions of a biological neuron.
In the civil engineering neural networks are used in many issues of simulation, identification and evaluation of the technical condition of the structure, e.g. elastic-plastic analysis of shields and plates [5], structural reliability analysis [5, 6], identification of the material of existing structures [5, 7], fitting of FE models [8].
In the engineering computations it is worth relying on the results from 2 sources: e.g.
