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