摘要

Among other concerns, construction planning involves the choice of construction technology, the definition of work tasks , the estimation of required resources and durations , the estimation of costs, and the preparation of a project schedule. A prototype knowledge intensive expert system to accomplish these tasks. CONSTRUCTION PLANEX, is described in this paper. This system generates project activity networks , cost estimates and schedules , including the definition of activities, specification of precedences . selection of appropriate technologies and esti,nation of durations and costs . The CONSTRUCTION PLANEX system could be useful as an automated assistant in routine planning , as a laboratory for the analysis and evaluation of planning strategies , and as a component for more extensive construction assistance systems involving design , site layout or project control . The current application for CONSTRUCTION PLANEX is to plan modular high rise buildings , including excavation , foundation and structural construction.
