A STUDY ON EXPERT SYSTEM FOR SELECTION OF BRIDGE

In recent years, the computering in civil engineering had been applied not only in CAD but also in Expert System. But, they did not need a synthetic knowledges and experience of a designer such as comparative design which is judged a whole bridge by plural elements, and deviated from primary mean of Expert System or Artificial Intelligence. In this paper, we picked up superstructure, substructure, and fundamental structure of bridge as the object of this study, and proposed Expert System which introduced plural estimated elements which economics, workability, adaptablity to environment and so on. And the efficiency of the proposed system is demonstrated by the comparison between the result of this system and the past actual example of comparative.
