Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System Applications in Geotechnical Engineering

The neuro fuzzy models combine the transparent, linguistic representation of a fuzzy system with the learning ability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Over the last few years, adaptivenetwork based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been used in some areas of engineering. In particular, ANFIS has been applied to few geotechnical engineering problems. The objective of this paper is to provide a general view of some ANFIS applications for solving some types of geotechnical engineering problems.
