On the basis of discussing present situation for classification of rock masses and necessity of building expert system of rock masses.The intelligent design software for classification of rock masses CRES has been completed. In this paper the CRES is expounded systematically in the following,such as knowledge_base,data_base,reasoning machine,learning machine,and so on.Finally,the CRES is used for verifying 30 engineering examples and is used to classify rock masses of two roadways successfully .The CRES has been connected to SBSDES.
