Improving Structural Designs with Computer Programming in Building Construction
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The scope of civil engineering is wide and the application of computer is not put to use as expected even among professionals in developing nations. This paper is an attempt at revealing methods available for application of computer as a tool which can tremendously improve the qualities of delivery especially utilization of user developed packages that are customized to suit a particular problem at hand. It exposes how computer programming can be used in detail designs and quick process to calculate complex force stresses in structures. It further brings to the fore its application in automation of structural designs in concrete, elicits explicitly how computer can accept data through programming and uses the data to provide information in the final analysis on total design load, moment generated and areas of main and distributed reinforcements to stair-case, landing to stairs and Slabs. ’Customized Computer Package’ in this context implies a completely interactive software system with considerable dialogue between the user and the system before a solution is obtained. This is implemented using Object-Oriented FORTRAN programming language.
