• 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.
