  • Application of Microcomputers 1N Bridge Design
    Transportation Research Record 1072 15 Application of Microcomputers 1n Bridge Design RONALD A. LOVE, FURMAN W. BARTON, and WALLACE T. McKEEL, Jr. ABSTRACT The use of microcomputers in bridge design activities in state transportation departments was evaluated through contacts with 32 state agencies. Although pres­ ent use of microcomputers was found to be 1 imi tea, subsequent research showed that the current generation of 16-bit machines offers significant advantages in complementing existing computing facilities in a manner that fully uses the power of both mainframe and microcomputer. The ability of microcomputers to run large bridge design applications in a stand-alone mode was demonstrated by successfully downloading and converting four mainframe programs. Running design and analysis programs in a stand-alone mode frees the mainframe CPU and increases access to software that can be run repetitively without consideration of mainframe costs. When access to larger applications on the mainframe is required, the microcomputer used as an intelligent terminal can process input data locally and send them to the mainframe for processing. Output data, in return, can be downloaded to the microcomputer and reviewed off-line or input into microcomputer applications such as spreadsheets or graphics packages for further processing. Computer applications in engineering design have had preferred alternative for using much of the bridge a dramatic effect on the analysis and design process design software available. In Virginia, as in many in general.
