This research develops fundamental approaches for a knowledge-based             expert system to characterize a site based on geotechnical factors.             The approach is new for geotechnical research and will provide a new            insight to improve the state-of-the-art of understanding of the expert          systems approach to geomechanics.  The primary goal of this research is         to formalize the expertise used by the geotechnical community for               characterizing a site and to demonstrate the automatic processing of            this expertise.  This research will collect extensive geotechnical data         to establish the range of techniques and viewpoints that currently              prevail in the geotechnical community and will incorporate the                  expertise acquired from these experts into a knowledge-based expert             system.  The demonstration of the system will be carried out by                 providing graphical interfaces for a three-dimensional subsurface               model.
