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.

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.

A series of procedures and utility programs have been developed to assist structural engineers in the development of highly graphical and interactive applications. The procedures are callable from FORTRAN-based programs. They perform such tasks as menu control, on-screen data input and verification, selection of entities from screen, control help facility, and provide a model for graphical representation of information on the screen. The programming environment is available in the DOS operating system, and it is viewed as an alternative to spreadsheet-based programming tools.

An automatic quantitative image analysis (AQIA) software system has been developed to quantify constituents in multiple phase materials, such as hardened cement and concrete. Some major features of AQIA are presented. The applications of AQIA to cement and concrete research are explored. The system is expected to provide a more versatile, and more reliable means than the manual microscope examination. It is much less expensive than existing hardware-type image analyzers, and specially designed for materials use.
