Abstract

A knowledge-based system (KBS) called SIGMA is described which can be used to assist with the management and interpretation of geotechnical data from a site investigation. The heart of the system consists of a database for storing the site investigation information and this is tightly coupled to a knowledge-based system for interpretation of the data.

The database has been implemented using the INGRES database management system. The knowledge-based component of the system has been developed using PROKAPPA, an object oriented development environment on a Sun Sparc2 workstation. The combination of database and knowledge-based system technology provides a very powerful tool for data management and interpretation.

The applicability of object-oriented methodologies to site investigation data interpretation is discussed. The PROKAPPA software and the associated tools which have been used in the development of SIGMA are described.
