Title: A knowledge-based system approach for flexible pavement design
Abstract: The elastic layered approach is often used for the design of flexible pavement systems. The expertise of pavement engineering specialists is often needed as the tasks involved in using this method are very complex and at times require empirical knowledge. Research has been carried out to examine the feasibility of a knowledge-based system approach for the design of flexible pavements. Knowledge-based systems are computer programs that are capable of incorporating empirical and qualitative knowledge. In this paper, an overview of knowledge-based systems is presented. The methodology involved in building a knowledge-based system for flexible pavement design is then described.
