Abstract
The infrastructure system in the United States has been aging faster than the resourceavailable to restore them. Therefore decision for allocating the resources is based in part on the conditionof the structural system. This paper proposes to use neural network to predict the overall rating of thestructural system because of the successful applications of neural network to other fields which require a
