Abstract

This thesis presents a procedure for the selection and design of retaining walls using an expert system. The selection part is formulated in the form of production rules by OPS5, a programming language for production systems, and the design part is written in the procedural language, BASIC. Nine different types of retaining walls are incorporated in the knowledge base of the selection part, and three types of walls in the design part of the expert system. The selection and design parts are combined using OPS5 support routines.
