Abstract

This paper describes an example of developing an integrated design system, Integrated Structural Design System for Reinforced Concrete Buildings(INDECON). INDECON incorporates a central database and three design modules: a preliminary design module(PDM), a structural analysis module(SAM), and a detailed design module(DDM). The development of INDECON begins with the development of design models including Design Object Model(DOM) which describes design data during the structural design process. The Design Object Model is transformed to Design Table Model(DTM) for the central database, and is specified to be in detail for the three design modules. Then the central database is implemented and managed by relational database management system(RDBMS), and the three design modules are implemented using C++ programming language. The central database in the server computer communicates with the design modules in the client computers using TCP/IP internet protocol. The developing procedure for INDECON in this paper can be applied for developing more comprehensive integrated structural design systems.
