A Decision Support System for Making Decision of Foundation |
| Abstract |
In the early stage of building construction, We can not overstress the importance of making an appreciate selection of the optimal foundation type. The optimal foundation type that structure engineer selects in consideration of conditions of construction, loading, environmental and ground does not tend to be evaluated by nonprofessionals and builders before building construction. The unreasonable selection of optimal foundation type brings into being economical loss and social problems. The study is a decision support system for making the decision of optimal foundation type of apartment building, based on the related documents, knowledge and experience of experts who work in these fields. The system has been applied to two real field projects and the results gained so far seem rather optimistic. |
