Rock Classification Expert System for Concrete Gravity Dam Foundation and Its Application to Longtan Project
Sun Gong · Hongshui River · 2002
Based on the study on the requirements of concrete gravity dam on its foundation rock quality, this paper takes such factors as rock strength, rock soundness, development and extension of structural surface, and the effects of principle structural surfaces on dam foundation, as the bases for dam foundation rock classification. Rock quality is classified by way of combining qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis. The principles and construction of artificial intelligence expert system are applied to establish, with VB language, a rock classification expert system for concrete gravity dam foundation. The practical use of this system in Longtan project proves a reliable and accurate classification result of this system and its role in increasing the design level and quality of gravity dam.
