Abstract

This paper describes two phases in the development of a Knowledge Based System for the design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures. The first phase included the development of the system architecture using the development tool, Goldworks III. Due to the tragic loss of N Jain in early 1992 this phase was left in a near completed state but without detailed documentation. The aim of the second phase was to revive the interrupted development and to extend the scope of the KBS. This maintenance and documentation phase provided a test of the benefits of using a KBS development tool. This paper details a number of practical problems associated with the maintenance of knowledge based systems and methods of overcoming these. The software maintenance tools available in Goldworks III are demonstrated and their usefulness is discussed.
