Abstract
This paper describes some possibilities of using artificial
intelligence (AI) in structural steel design process, especially in
steel joint design. It is a well known fact that proper and cost-effective
connection design is a task requiring firstly
comprehensive knowledge of statics, fabrication and erection
techniques and secondly a plenty of time. In many cases all of
these resources are not present at the same time in same place (in
one person). A knowledge-based expert system (KBES) is
proposed 1) to support steel joint design in selection of suitable
connection types and setting values for joint parameters
considering structural as well as fabrication, erection and other
aspects, 2) to assist the creation of reasonable analyzing models
with respect to accuracy and resources available.
