| Popis: | CSTRUCT is a recently developed interactive computational environment for the design and analysis of structures. This paper summarizes a recently developed CAD design methodology; briefly outlines some of the software development issues that have been considered in the planning of CSTRUCT; and describes the features of a prototype version of CSTRUCT. A command language and graphical tools have been developed to describe the design problem, define attributes of the design problem, identify critical frame actions and frame displacements, and determine the overall adequacy of a design. The paper presents a summary of recent developments in earthquake-resistant design philosophy and emphasizes the strong need for a computational environment to support this design philosophy, as well as traditional approaches to design. |
