Abstract
An important aspect of the work of many UK engineers is
the diagnosis and repair of subsidence damage to residential
buildings. This has recorded significant growth over the last
twenty years. With this growth has come the evolution of a
major industry dedicated to dealing with subsidence cases.
Accuracy in subsidence diagnosis and the specification of
effective repairs require a good deal of practical experience
and engineering judgment. Knowledge-based systems have
emerged as useful tools for problem-solving in situation is
such as this where human expertise is required. This paper
describes a knowledge-based advisory system which is
intended to improve the management of subsidence cases by
providing engineers with intelligent advice at all stages of
the management process. This is expected to result in
remedial measures which are: based on more accurate
diagnoses, more effective, more economic in the long-term,
and better quality assured.
