Abstract
The paper deals with conceptual decisions taken during the preliminary design of structures. Aiming at the computer support of such
decisions one comes up inevitably to the application of AI-techniques. The following issues are discussed: intelligent access to the previous
design experience stored in the database, automatic generation and comparison of plausible alternatives, acquisition of new
knowledge through algorithmic structural optimization. The difficult task of supporting innovative solutions plays the main role in the
considerations. Several knowledge-based computer programs illustrate the implementation of the proposed ideas.
