Book excerpt: KYBAS is a prototype knowledge-based expert system to examine the use of artificial intelligence in the area of bridge engineering. KYBAS has been developed for highway girder bridge analysis and design. The knowledge in KYBAS represents expertise regarding various materials, structural types, finite element limitations, etc., used in the analysis and design process. The KYBAS expert system rules are invoked to make a preliminary design recommendation and/or to assist in the finite element modelling decisions. These decisions are used to generate a finite element analysis model. Numeric modules then perform the prescribed analysis. Thus, the numeric modules are coupled with the expert system to perform analysis and design in one heterogeneous code. This paper examines certain issues in knowledge based expert system development and its integration with the numeric code. For the covering abstract of the Conference see IRRD Abstract no. 807839.
