Prediction of Compaction Characteristics of Granular Soils by Neural Networks

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6352))

Abstract

New experimental data discussed in [5] are used in the present paper. Application of the penalized error function, Principle Data Analysis and Bayesian criterion of Maximum Marginal Likelihood enabled design and training of numerically efficient small neural networks. They were applied for identification of two compaction characteristics, i.e. Optimum Water Content and Maximum Dry Density of granular soils.
