Abstract: | . A knowledge-based expert system was developed to aid in the selection of the type of dam. The dam type selector expert system
(DTSA ES) was designed to determine the type of dam on the alluvium foundations. Detailed expert knowledge is required to
estimate the type of dam and to develop an expert system. The DTSA ES utilizes rules of thumb used by an expert for determining
the selection of the type of dam. The DTSA ES was developed using a shell program. The expert system was tested on several
dam sites in order to validate the decision obtained. The use of this expert system, containing knowledge about the selection
of dam type, can be helpful to students, potential owners or contractors in selecting dam types. The current prototype always
needs additional parameters for more detailed analyses of new developments. However, the current DTSA ES is designed to include
existing information about dam types. |
