N2  - The thesis described herein has demonstrated the applicability of expert systems for the  design of precast concrete panel designs. An expert system named PreCast was developed and  implemented to assist designers in determining and locating appropriate fixture types for a  given panel configuration. Fifteen panel configurations and six attachment types are provided  as design options.  PreCast was developed using the AutoLISP programming language and interfaces with  AutoCAD to produce design and drawing outputs similar to that obtained by the company  using the present manual system. PreCast uses heuristic-type reasoning based on production  rule mechanism in manipulating the knowledge contained in the knowledge base in deriving  design solutions. The information embodied in PreCast was obtained from the design  department of M.C.S. International Co., Ltd.
