Pennsylvania State University Approved for public release, distribution unlimited All original copies missing. Best digital copy available. The development of a prototype knowledge-based expert system to assist safety analyses of short term, trench excavations on light commercial construction projects is presented. Background information for trench excavation hazards, OSHA safety compliance regulations, in-the-field soils analysis techniques, timber shoring design, and expert system development is introduced. Detailed discussion of the design and construction of a knowledge base for the safety analyses of short term trench excavations is included along with the methods involved in loading the knowledge base onto an expert system shell. 2014-05-28T19:00:17Z 2014-05-28T19:00:17Z 1987-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/41619 o641018172 en_US This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
