  • Abstract:

    An expert system seems to be particularly attractive as a decision tool in the unruly construction environment. Application of expert systems, to various facets of construction planning, has been described in various publications. The paper examines two expert systems applied to the crane selection and location problem, evaluates them and draws some conclusions with respect to the general applicability of expert systems to construction planning.
