     site classification is an important procedure for a reliable site-specific seismic hazard assessment. on the other hand, the site conditions at strong-motion stations are essential for accurate interpretation and analysis of the recorded ground motion data obtained from different regions of the world. for some countries with insufficient data on the subsurface geological settings, the required site condition information is not available. this paper presents a new and efficient approach for site classification based on artificial neural networks (ann) along with a selected set of representative horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (hvsr) curves for four site classes. the nonlinear nature of ann and their ability to learn in a complex environment make it highly suitable for function approximation and solving complicated engineering problems. two types of radial basis function (rbf) neural networks, namely, probabilistic neural networks (pnn) and generalized regression neural networks (grnn) were chosen in this study, as no separate training phase is required, rendering them particularly suitable for site classification. the proposed approach has been tested using data of the chi-chi, taiwan, earthquake (mw=7.6) recorded from 87 stations at which the site conditions are known. analyses show that both the pnn and the grnn perform very well with similar accuracy in estimating site conditions, with successful rates of 78% and 75%, respectively.
