Introduction
In this paper, an Intelligent Structural Design and Cost Estimating model, to the
military direct project’s part has been researched in this study. The object of the project is to
create a computer program while builds a generic connection between MCACES
(Microcomputer Construction and Cost Engineering System) expenses predicting computer
program and structural designed computer program. Importance has been transmitted to
explore the potential link of Knowledge-based system and how it institutes the generic
connection. The potential program is approximated to give access for designing and
performing preliminary costs to engineer’s design, in a much quicker and cost-efficient way
than that of the currently used methods.
The following report has two objectives: To encapsulate the results of literature
review research, to demonstrate the Knowledge Based System’s applications to the processes
of structural design, and further, presentation of recommendations for appropriate integrated
structurally designed computer has also been discussed. The limitation of this research is
confined to only include the research materials, according to ISDCE project’s relevancy.
Literature Review
The aim of the literature review is to conduct an investigation on Knowledge-based
system’s (KBS) applications in the environment of cost-estimation and structural
engineering. During the collection of information, numerous amount of previously conducted
researches were found, which were aimed at efficiency improvement in the process of
structural design through the utilization of the KBS’s programs. (Due to the purpose of the
following paper, the terms “construction engineering” and “structural design” will add every
processes from planning (architectural) to final construction).
