Knowledge-Based Expert Systems for Civil Engineering, Award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

项目描述：本项目支持卡内基梅隆大学土木工程系Steven J. Fenves博士与马德拉斯印度理工学院土木工程系C. S. Krishnamoorthy博士在土木工程设计知识专家系统（KBES）领域的合作研究。其目的是将美国在开发KBES工程设计方面的研究成果与印度在当地土木工程设计实践方面的研究成果进行协同合并，从而产生一套计算机工具，可以大大提高印度和其他发展中国家结构设计的效率和经济性。规划的具体研究领域是KBES的结构设计，包括初步设计分析和详细构件设计。将开发的3个KBES分别是多层钢筋混凝土建筑、混凝土桥梁和单层钢结构工业结构。最终的KBES将由领先的设计师和实践者进行广泛的评估。范围：这项研究的领域非常有趣，因为需要纳入广泛的基于知识的规划策略，以及必须收集、组织和形式化的各种当地专门知识。这位美国科学家是KBES的先驱研究员，在人工智能在土木工程中的应用方面有着很好的声誉。这位印度科学家在研究和实践方面有丰富的经验，双方的共同努力应该会产生丰硕的成果。该项目获两项拨款资助：卡耐基梅隆大学________________________________________ FY89 $3,960印度货币FY90 $3,960印度货币+美元$17,784 FY91 $3,960印度货币+美元$7,020印度理工学院，马德拉斯INT8913816 _______________________________________________ FY89 $ 88907印度货币FY90 $24,407印度货币FY91 $28,614印度货币

Description: This project supports cooperative research by Dr. Steven J. Fenves, Department of Civil Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University and Dr. C. S. Krishnamoorthy, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Tehnology, Madras in the area of knowledge-based expert system (KBES) in civil engineering design. The aim is to provide a synergistic merger between U. S. research results in the development of KBES for engineering design and Indian research on local civil engineering design practice, thus producing a set of computer tools that can substantially improve the efficiency and economy of structural design in India and other developing countries. The specific area of research planned is that of KBES for structural design including preliminary design analysis and detailed component design. The three KBES to be developed are to deal with multistory reinforced concrete buldings, concrete bridges, and single-story steel industrial structures. The resulting KBES will be exstensively evaluated by leading designers and practicioners. Scope: The area of this research is of great interest because of the wide range of knowledge-based programming strategies that need to be incorporated and the variety of local expertise that must be collected, organized and formalized. The U. S. scientist is a pioneer reasearcher in KBES with a very good reputation in artificial intelligence application in civil engineering. The Indian scientist has broad experience in research and practice, and the joint effort should lead to a fruitful product.
