Computer-Aided Structural Engineering (CASE) Project. User's Guide for Concrete Strength Investigation and Design (CASTR) in Accordance with ACI 318-83.
Abstract
Program CASTR is versatile in that its capabilities extend from design of new concrete structures in accordance with ACI Code 318-83 to investigation of already existing designs. Its analysis is based on the rectangular stress block described in Section 10.3 of the ACI Code. The design procedure is computer-aided rather than automatic and computes the minimum reinforcement required for a given width and depth, and displays the resulting interaction diagram. The program also computes and prints the minimum effective depth of a given section which satisfies strength requirements and steel ratio requirements without compressive reinforcement. The investigation procedure shows interaction diagrams and calculates compliance with ductile failure criteria.
