Abstract:

The Bridge Branch of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has organized a formal decision process for selecting retaining walls. The selection process facilitates implementation of new retaining wall technologies by requiring that a range of options be considered when selecting retaining wall alternatives. The CDOT retaining wall selection process falls into a general pattern of organization that can be automated using knowledge-based system technology. The computerized implementation of the decision process is described; it will reduce the time required to perform the retaining wall selection process, enforce consistency in decisions made by designers and consultants, and provide a mechanism for CDOT to encode standard designs, practices, and minimum performance criteria within the decision process.
