I just finished writing a master's thesis on just this topic,  however
it  focuses  primarily on applications   for  architectural  practice,
especially design  with a structural  pre-cast concrete panel  system.
You  may also write or  send e-mail to Professor Sriram  in the  Civil
Engineering Department  here at MIT who has  written an expert  system
for structural  design  called   DESTINY.  His   e-mail  address    is
sriram@athena.mit.edu-  mine  is        bolasov@aphrodite.mit.edu   or
Olasov@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA.

Good luck!
