Abstract
This article presents the application of a Case-based Reasoning (CBR) in order to define the calculation and verification parameters to design building structures. Each and every calculating variable has to be hosen according to construction criteria from a set up list. These decisions are meant to find a solution that will be the closest possible to a valid one, and this will be verified through calculation. In the optimal scenario, the calculation will just verify that the chosen solution is valid, or that it is completely impossible to implement the strengthening; whereas in the worst scenario, the calculating process will simply correct some previous decision, once the strengthening suitability is confirmed. A case study of timber floor slabs straightening is introduced in which a selection of the necessary parameters for its calculation and verification are defined by CBR. Finally, the same case study is built and calculated by SAP commercial program in order to find out whether the defined parameters can actually envisage a proper solution for the strengthening.
