A COMPUTER-AIDED SYSTEM FOR THE ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND CHECKING OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES.
Abstract
A computer-aided system for the analysis, design and checking of flat plate reinforced concrete buildings is presented, which allows for the engineer's participation at all the decision-making stages during the design process. The geometry of the structure is assumed to be regular, and the slabs are idealized as girders of one panel width each. The structure is analyzed either as a space frame or as a series of plane frames, and several levels of accuracy are included within the space and plane frame analyses. A general loading combination procedure is implemented and the members may be designed by either working stress or ultimate strength design methods in accordance with the ACI specifications. In addition, member groups may be specified and the structure may be designed on the basis of a partial analysis of the structure. The system is also applicable to the checking of a designed structure and to the computation of material quantities. (Author)
