• Abstract:
  This report is one of a series of developments planned to facilitate the
  
  use of computers in the analysis of highway bridge structures. It specifically
  
  concerns a computer program for the bending analysis of bent caps.
  
  The development of this program began in June 1963 under sponsorship of the
  
  Texas Highway Department, Research Project 3-5-63-56, in cooperation with the
  
  U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Public Roads. A preliminary report on
  
  basic concepts was furnished the Texas Highway Department in December 1963 for
  
  a period of trial use. Following this period of trial use, revisions were made
  
  to the program based on comments and criticisms of the users. In March 1964 a
  
  version of the program was furnished to the Texas Highway Department for use on
  
  their CDC 1604A computer. Further comments from the users have resulted in the
  
  present program.
  
  Although the program is written for the CDC 1604 computer, it is in FORTRAN
  
  language and only very minor changes would be required for it to be compatible
  
  with IBM 7090 systems. Duplicate copies of the program deck and test data cards
  
  for the example problems in this report may be obtained from the Center for
  
  Highway Research at The University of Texas.
  
  The cooperation and support of Texas Highway Department personnel are gratefully
  
  acknowledged. Particular thanks are given to Mr. Larry G. Walker who has
  
  acted as project contact representative and has provided much helpful advice.
  
  The use of the computer and facilities of The University of Texas Computation
  
  Center is also gratefully acknowledged. A library subroutine written by the
  
  Computation Center Staff is used to operate the digital plotter used in conjunction
  
  with this program.
