Abstract
This paper describes a computerised prediction system for geotechnical parameters, GeoPredictor. At the preliminary design stage of a construction project, detailed information from a ground investigation may not be available. Consequently, suitable geotechnical parameters for use in a ground engineering or foundation design may be imprecise. This system aids the preliminary design process by predicting geotechnical parameters in two ways, given a brief description of some site and ground details. Firstly by using Case-Based Reasoning techniques to consult a data base containing ground investigation data, and secondly by using functions derived from correlations between different geotechnical parameters.
