AUTOMATED DETAILING OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BOX BEAM BRIDGES. FINAL REPORT

A sofware package has been developed to automate the process of bridge detailing. It consists of a cell file and two FORTRAN 77 programs. The cell file includes a number of primitive graphical entities which can be used to generate the details of a variety of bridges. It also includes standard ODOT bridge details. The first FORTRAN program is an interactive preprocessor which is designed to query the user about the project data. The second FORTRAN program is written to generate a set of up to five structural drawings. It can be executed in a batch or interactive mode. The use of the software package is limited to the detailing of prestressed concrete box beam bridges per ODOT specifications and standard details.
