Neural Prediction of Tunnels’ Support Pressure in Elasto-Plastic, Strain-Softening Rock Mass

The prediction of the support pressure (Pi) and the development of the ground reaction curve (GRC) are crucial elements of the convergence–confinement procedure used to design underground structures. In this paper, two different types of artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used to predic...
