Seismic early warning has been very important and has become feasible in Taiwan. Perhaps because of the lack of quick and reliable estimations of the induced structural response, however, the triggering criteria of almost all of the existing earthquake protection or early warning systems in the world ate merely based on the collected or estimated data of the ground motion, without any information regarding the structural response. This paper presents a methodology of generating quick seismic response estimations of a prestressed concrete (PC) bridge using artificial neural networks (ANNs), which may be incorporated in a seismic early warning system for the bridge. In the methodology ANNs were applied to model the critical structural response of a PC bridge subjected to earthquake excitation of various magnitudes along various directions. The objective was to implement a well-trained network that is capable of providing a quick prediction for the critical response of the target bridge. The well-known multilayer perception (MLP) networks with back propagation. algorithm were employed. A simple augmented form of MLP that can be quantitatively determined was proposed. These networks were trained and tested based on the analytical data obtained from the nonlinear dynamic finite fiber element analyses of the target PC bridge. The augmented MLPs were found to be much more efficient than the MLPs in modeling the critical bending moments of the piers and girder of the PC bridge.
