Neural Network-Based Prediction Model for the Stability of Unlined Elliptical Tunnels in Cohesive-Frictional Soils

The scheme for accurate and reliable predictions of tunnel stability based on an artificial aeural network (ANN) is presented in this study. Plastic solutions of the stability of unlined elliptical tunnels in sands are first derived by using numerical upper-bound (UB) and lower-bound (LB) finite ele...
