Abstract:
Computers are becoming a day-to-day tool in the Corps of Engineers design offices for analyzing and designing concrete structures. These structures vary from specialized hydraulic structures, such as locks and dams, to conventional retaining walls and buildings. The Corps uses both general purpose, as well as special purpose, computer programs for the design/analysis of these structures. Many of the special purpose programs are developed under a very successful project called Computer-Aided Structural Engineering (CASE). The Corps is also active in performing research toward developing ideal engineering workstations for design engineers using microcomputers as tools. Some of the Corps' activities in these areas are highlighted.

A brief overview of current research undertaken on computer-aided design of reinforced concrete is presented. The following research projects, related to concrete structures, are briefly discussed: 1) interactive graphics optimum design of reinforced concrete frames; 2) interactive graphics optimization-based design of partially prestressed concrete beams; 3) hybrid design program for the design of reinforced concrete frames; and 4) usage of expert systems as quality assurance programs for the design of reinforced concrete to check their compliance with all the appropriate ACI Building Code provisions.

A substructuring technique to analyze equivalent frames according to ACI 318-83 is presented. A more consistent implementation of the equivalent frame method is formulated. The width of the column strip and the percentage of torsional stiffness required are studied. A program that will analyze a building system subjected to gravity as well as lateral loads is developed.

Describes an expert system with a knowledge base consisting of freeze-thaw, sulfate, alkali-aggregate, and corrosion aspects of concrete durability. The system was developed on a microcomputer using an expert-system shell facility. This paper discusses knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, issues relating to the maintenance of expert systems, and recommendations for field implementations.

Paper describes the capabilities and techniques used in a Three-Dimensional Stability Analysis/Design (3DSAD) computer program for concrete monolithic structures. The program was designed to do both nonstandard-shaped structures and specific structure types such as dams, locks, cooling towers, power houses, etc. The philosophy of the program was to first develop general geometry, loads, and analysis modules and then develop modules for specific structures using the general modules as tools. Another general purpose capability, the Free-Body Module, was then added to the collection of tools. Specific modules were also enhanced with a Design Memorandum (DM) Plate capability for final reporting of results. Paper describes the general modules and the specific modules for dams with emphasis on algorithms and procedure for the general modules.
