Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreep predicting model in masonry structure utilizing dynamic neural networkMustafa M. Abed, A. El-Shafie, Siti Aminah Bt. OsmanProblem statement: When the loads are applied to a brickwork structure, visco-elastic behavior upon their stress-strain relationships is exhibited, where the response can be classified into two separate parts: an instantaneous elastic strains and time-dependent creep strains. The creep strain represents the non- instantaneous strain that happens with time when the stress is sustained. Through the previous century, along with … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,627 accessesView PDFCite
