Development of Expert System for Flexible Pavement Design in Sabah

Abstract Flexible pavement covers three quarters of the total local roads including Sabah. An ideal flexible pavement should have sufficient thickness to distribute the load to subgrade but not overdesign which cause extra cost. This research paper is conducted to develop an expert system for flexible pavement design in Sabah. It is aimed to reduce the hu-man error during the design phase in order to ensure the road quality. Sabah is selected as the location as Sabah is developing state that involve many on-going highway and flyover construction. Besides, expert system is important in this mod... Mehr ...
