Development of a Knowledge-Based Expert System for Geotech- nical Site Characterization

本研究开发了基于知识的专家系统的基本方法，以岩土工程因素为基础来表征场地。该方法是岩土工程研究的新方法，将为提高对地质力学专家系统方法的最新理解提供新的见解。本研究的主要目标是将岩土工程界用于描述场地特征的专业知识正式化，并演示这些专业知识的自动处理。这项研究将收集广泛的岩土技术数据，以建立目前在岩土工程界流行的技术和观点的范围，并将从这些专家那里获得的专业知识纳入一个以知识为基础的专家系统。该系统的演示将通过为三维地下模型提供图形界面来进行。

This research develops fundamental approaches for a knowledge-based expert system to characterize a site based on geotechnical factors. The approach is new for geotechnical research and will provide a new insight to improve the state-of-the-art of understanding of the expert systems approach to geomechanics. The primary goal of this research is to formalize the expertise used by the geotechnical community for characterizing a site and to demonstrate the automatic processing of this expertise. This research will collect extensive geotechnical data to establish the range of techniques and viewpoints that currently prevail in the geotechnical community and will incorporate the expertise acquired from these experts into a knowledge-based expert system. The demonstration of the system will be carried out by providing graphical interfaces for a three-dimensional subsurface model.
