Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely applied to many bridge engineering problems and have demonstrated some degree of success. A review of the literature reveals that ANNs have been used successfully in member capacity prediction, reliability analysis, optimal design of structural systems, fatigue life prediction, construction control, material constitutive model , slope stability, bridge health monitoring. The objective of this paper is to provide a general view of some ANNs applications for solving some types of bridge engineering problems. A brief introduction to ANNs is given. Problems such as what is a neural network, how it works and what kind of advantages it has are discussed. After this, several applications in bridge engineering are presented.
