| Summary: | about initial engineering details. This study focuses on the are many different types of highway bridges and the ability as input, several initial design parameters from the user, can be approached from a knowledge based standpoint. configuration for highway bridges. The knowledge based system contained in this study show that practical design problems design configuration using periodic input from the user. The developed in this study focuses on the preliminary design of development of a knowledged based system which would help to engineering details for the preliminary configuration can experience and general "rules of thumb" to make decisions experience. Preliminary design is often difficult for less experienced engineers because it involves using past four different types of highway bridges used in the state of guide the inexperienced engineer to a preliminary design of highway bridges using a knowledge based approach. There selects the best structure type, and develops an initial starting point for the design spiral comes from many years of steel plate girder span. The preliminary design model takes, Texas, slab span, panform span, precast I-beam span, and then be shown in spreadsheet format. The simulations This study examines the preliminary design of several types to choose the best type of structure and a reasonable |
