COMPUTATION OF NATURAL FUNDAMENTAL PERIODS OF VIBRATIONS OF MEDIUM-HEIGHT PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS BY NEURAL NETWORKS

摘要

The paper deals with an application of neural networks to computation of funda- mental natural periods of prefabricated medium-height buildings with load-bearing walls. These building vibrations were excited by firing of explosives in nearby quar- ries. The back-propagation neural networks are trained, validated, and tested on experimental data taken from long-term tests performed on actual structures.
