Abstract:
An interactive graphics program for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete frame buildings in accordance with ACI 318-83 was developed. The preprocessor, processor (analysis and design), and the postprocessor are individually presented. Also discussed are hardware, graphical devices, and the portability of the program. The first version of the program is shown to be satisfactory for initial preliminary design.
