Impact of Computers on the Practice of Structural Engineering in Concrete
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-33:1972 standard is a comprehensive volume consisting of 17 papers that examine the impact of computer systems on the practice of structural engineering in the context of concrete structures. The standard aims to provide readers with an understanding of the trends in computer usage and the potential contributions of computers to the field of structural engineering in concrete.
The standard covers three general aspects: computer systems, typical design applications, and computer graphics applications. It includes papers on topics such as the use of computer programs like Strudl in reinforced concrete building design, the development of command language interfaces for automatic design in three dimensions, and the role of problem-oriented language in the design of reinforced concrete structures.
Other papers discuss the application of computer programs for structural analysis and concrete mix proportioning, the use of computer optimization in structural concrete design, and the development of computer-aided design and drafting systems for reinforced concrete bridge structures. The standard also includes an appendix listing computer program information available through ACI.
