Expert System For Making Sulfate-Resistant Concrete
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development and the main features of a knowledge-based expert system for modelling the requirements of durable concrete in sulfate exposure, called the Sulfate-Resistant Concrete Advisor (SRCA), are described. The system was developed to help improve the quality of concrete exposed to sulfate environment by minimizing mistakes and deficiencies in selecting concrete constituents. Using Kappa-PC expert system shell, an object-oriented model was developed where the rule-based reasoning and other decision processes operate on or across objects. The knowledge and experience were acquired from various textual sources and human experts. The system is very useful for civil engineering students as well as practicing engineers. Key-Words: Expert system, knowledge-based system, sulfate exposure, durable concrete, object-oriented model.

Evaluation of Rough Set Theory for Decision Making of rehabilitation Method for Concrete Pavement
In recent years a great number of advanced theoretical - empirical methods has been developed for design & modeling concrete pavements distress. But there is no reliable theoretical method to be use in evaluation of conerete pavements distresses and making a decision about repairing them. Only empirical methods is used for this reason. One of the most usual methods in evaluating concrete paveme...
متن کاملThe Effect of Micro Silica on Permeability and Chemical Durability of Concrete Used in the Corrosive Environment
Micro silica (MS) is an extremely fine, spherical powder that is used as an additive for improving concrete performance. It is obtained as a by product of silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloy production. Due to its pozzolanic nature, micro silica can be used to enhance the qualities of both fresh and hardened concrete. Addition of micro silica into the concrete as a cement rep...
