Abstract

Senior engineers always accomplish preliminary tunnel support designs in offices based on their experiences. Therefore the outcome may be different if different approaches or guidelines were adopted. To help engineers carry out this task, an expert system has been prototyped in this aspect.

This knowledge-based system for preliminary tunnel support design is embedded with design guidelines from NGI-Q, CSIR-RMR, which are the most popular principles in this field, together with those from US Army Corps and geomechanics. This system can provide suggested design in accordance with these principles through an inference mechanism. As an assisting tool, this system offers engineers an opportunity to review and verify their designs in a quick and thorough way.
