Abstract

The design of durable concrete has been the focus of some recent work as a potential domain for an expert system. Extensive experimentation with alternative knowledge representations and user interface methods for the domain resulted in a prototype system that considers sulphate attack. This prototype has been used as the basis for other modules for alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) and steel reinforcement corrosion. The modules have been combined into a system, DEX, that can perform both passive checking and active design of durable concrete. The DEX system makes extensive use of hypertext as both a development methodology and user interface.
