An Empirical Comparison of Multiple Linear Regression and Artificial Neural Network for Concrete Dam Deformation Modelling

Table 1

Dimensional parameters of the dam considered.

Dam	Typology	Height	Top elevation	Impact factors	Output
		(m)	(m ab.sea level)
Dongjiang(DJ)	ARC	157	294	H,T, t/ H, T, t, z	RAD
Fengman [17] (FM)	GRA	91	268.9	H, T, t	RAD

Typology: ARC= arch; GRA= gravity; outputs: RAD= radial displacement; H= water level; T= air temperature; t= time; z= Z coordinate;
