Software de aprendizaje para el diseño de elementos estructurales de hormigón armado

Abstract

Science and technology are constantly evolving, in a world where communication and updating of knowledge are carried out at impressive speeds, computers have come to occupy an important space in the daily tasks of man facilitating his work. PCs, which constitutes an academic tool for teachers, students of Civil Engineering and related careers, which presents the different methodologies and specialized techniques used in the present (for the design of elements of reinforced concrete, which involve complex and long calculations to do them manually They demand a high consumption of resources both human and time spent for their understanding leaving in this way great vacancies in the formation of the student due to the short time that is available to impart classes.For the implementation and elaboration of the program was used (the methodology and hypothesis Of design given in the provisions and requirements of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) code 318-05, which is the most widespread in our country when it comes to the design of concrete elements.
