The observations from the previous earthquakes show that the magnitude of lateral spreading can reach to the level of a few meters that can severely damage the surrounding area most of the times. Since liquefaction is a complex soil failure problem that involves soil and earthquake parameters, liquefaction-induced soil deformations should be investigated by nonlinear methods. In this study, a NN model has been developed to investigate the liquefaction-induced lateral spreading during an earthquake ground motion. The NN model used in this study was constructed using 8 input parameters (magnitude of EQGM, σ0 (kPa), σ0' (kPa), N (SPT), a/g, τort/σ0, F (%), D50) and 1 output parameter (lateral spreading). A relationship is established between the lateral spreading and the soil and earthquake ground motion parameters by developing and testing a multi-layered feed-forward NN model trained with the back-propagation algorithm. A total of 175 cases were used for constructing the NN model. Results indicates that N (SPT) is the most effective parameter; whereas a/g is the least effective parameter on liquefaction-induced lateral spreading. The approach adapted in this study was shown to be capable of providing the best accurate estimates of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading during an earthquake ground motion.
