Abstract

One of the most popular design aids for structural engineers is the computer program. Although many computer programs exist for the analysis of steel frame structures, designers often have to rely on manual methods to design the members in the frame. This paper addresses the problems associated with the integration of analysis and design for two dimensional steel frames. The process is illustrated by reference to the user-friendly computer programs PRFSA and LIMSTEEL. Program PRFSA is a structural analysis program for the first and second order analysis and buckling analysis of frames. Program LIMSTEEL is a limit states design program for designing all the members in the frame. These two programs have been integrated to allow a cyclic analysis and design procedure.
