Abstract:

A comprehensive study of current bridge design practice was carried out in order to determine the criteria for selection of appropriate applications software. The study provided the basis for establishing fundamental selection criteria for the evaluation of existing bridge design software. Using the criteria, 204 existing programs and systems were evaluated for potential use in the prototype system. From this initial group, twelve programs in four general application areas superstructures, geometry, substructures, and piles were selected as most likely candidates for universal usage. As a product of this evaluation, abstracts of all 204 programs wer compiled which include a features description of each program. This report was prepared as part of efforts under the Computer-Aided Structural Engineering CASE Project. Author
