Content SummaryGeotechnical earthquake engineering can generally be considered as an “imprecise” area due to the unavoidable uncertainties and simplifications. Therefore, relatively accurate predictions, using advanced Soft Computing (SC) techniques, can be tolerated rather than solving a problem conventionally. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), being one of the most popular SC techniques, have been used in many fields of science and technology, as well as, an increasing number of problems in engineering. In the present study the application of ANNs is focused on the simulation of the seismic response of an embankment. Typically, the dynamic response of an embankment is evaluated utilizing the finite-element method, where nonlinearity of geo-materials can be taken into account by an equivalent-linear procedure. This extremely time-consuming process is replaced by properly trained ANNs.en
