Partially Automating the Design-Construction Interface: Constructibility Design Rules for Reinforced Concrete Structures Martin Fischer, C.B. Tatum Pages 127-134 (1989 Proceedings of the 6th ISARC, San Francisco, USA, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: Design and construction are highly fragmented for many types of projects in the US construction industry. This vertical and horizontal fragmentation leads to inefficiencies during construction. Knowledge based systems provide a means to partially automate the process of construction input to design and assist in reducing the adverse impact of fragmentation on project performance. This paper describes early results from a research project at Standford University to develop an expert system containing constructability design rules that support the preliminary design of reinforced concrete structures. The major topics covered are: a background review of design-construction integration; a description of the structure of constructability knowledge and
