| Abstract | The advance in micro-computer technology has made expert systems receive much attention in research, professiona l wo rk and many fi elds of technology. In this study, an expert syst em "TUNNEL" has been developed for the construc tion planning of conventional tunnelling method. A general strategy for developments a nd application of expert systems has been proposed. Since an expert system shell "EXSYS" has been used as a development tool, our effort has concentrated on knowledge engineering which mainly includes knowledge acquisition, system design, implementation and evaluation. The expert system "TUNNEL" has been evaluated using the data extracted from the project report of Nathpa-Jhal<ri hydro -electric project in India . The output from the expert syst em appears to be reasonably acceptable . Finally, the limitations have been discussed and potential improvements for further research are recommended. |
