Concrete slab bridge is one of most common structures employed for local road constructions because of its simplicity in design and construction. Computer applications were developed to automate the repetitive computation for these simple structures. However, in most cases, managing the electronic documents produced by these applications has not been incorporated with design automation application yet. Resultant documents are often managed by individuals and disappear as time goes by due to lack of systemic management. This paper introduces a Web-based application developed to not only speed up the design process but also enhance the collection and manipulation of resultant electronic documents.
The development presented in this paper was conducted as part of the Web-based Bridge Design Support System (WBDSS) Project funded by the Ministry of Construction and Transportation of the Korean government (Grant No. 02 San-Hak-Yeon A01-07).
