A Study on Development of Integrated Design System of Building by Computer Aided Design System |
| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is 1)to develop computer programs which can be used to determine immediately the economic member sizes of reinforced concrete structures, 2)to integrate structural analysis, analysis plotting, member design, cost estimation, and drawing work into one working system, and 3)to develop final drawings which can be used directly on construction sites by computer aided design system.This study will substantially contribute to the advancement of design technology by improving structural design as a speedy precision work, by accumulating design technology, and by facilitating the use of CAD system for structural design.The computer programs are developed for structures analysis, analysis plotting, member design, cost estimation, and structures drawing for frame structural as one working system. They are developed on the basis of the practical equations for member sections obtained from the analyses of economic sizes of individual structural elements.The CAD system for architectural design is intended essentially for the integration of a series of interrelated work into a total system, which include structural analysis, preparation of structural drawings, architectural design, preparation of drawings, for building equipments, and cost estimation. The integrated working system for structural analysis and preparation of structural drawings as developed in this study serves as a part of total system for architectural design. In addition, the integrated structural design system is expected to speed up the preparation of accurate construction drawings, to allow a flexible alteration in design, and to provide designers more time to devote to other creative work. |
