| Abstract | The thesis described herein has demonstrated the applicability of expert systems for the
design of precast concrete panel designs. An expert system named PreCast was developed and
implemented to assist designers in determining and locating appropriate fixture types for a
given panel configuration. Fifteen panel configurations and six attachment types are provided
as design options.
PreCast was developed using the AutoLISP programming language and interfaces with
AutoCAD to produce design and drawing outputs similar to that obtained by the company
using the present manual system. PreCast uses heuristic-type reasoning based on production
rule mechanism in manipulating the knowledge contained in the knowledge base in deriving
design solutions. The information embodied in PreCast was obtained from the design
department of M.C.S. International Co., Ltd. |
