0.0

After reading this book the reader will be a master in using C and Excel for solution of civil engineering problems and it will be a major step in training the civil engineering students in software design in total, the reader will get knowledge of CAD in civil engineering.Development of algorithms for the analysis of cantilever, simply supported, proped and fixed beams are explained step by step. A single general program to compute SF and BM for all the four types of beams are included. Use of C graphics to plot SFD and BMD has been explained in detail.Algorithm to design singly reinforced and doubly reinforced beams by limit state method as per IS 456 is extensively explained. Individual programs for singly reinforced and doubly reinforced beams have been provided and a single program to design both the types is also included.Use of STRAP and STAAD for analyses of beams and frames are explained step by step. Demo versions of these softwares are available in the CD enclosed.Use of Excel for transportation, survey, irrigation topics is explained along with explanation for development of algorithm. Graphical representation of the output using chart wizard of EXCEL is highlighted. Table Of Contents : 1. Computer Aided Analysis and Design2. Computer Program for Analysis of Beams3.
