Engineering.
More specifically, it will address expert systems in many areas of
Civil Engineering. Emphasis will be given to case studies of systems
development. Some of the topics to be discussed include: comparison
of expert systems tools, expert systems in the design process, the BX
expert system shell, the application of expert systems in the design
of structures, expert system for the rating of highway bridges,
pavement maintenance, speed zoning on roads, dampness in buildings,
water penetration in buildings, selection of site cranes for
