Abstract
The design of reinforced concrete beams is an iterative
procedure where the basic concepts of statics, solid mechanics,
and strength of materials are used in conjunction with the rules
specified in pertinent structural codes. An intelligent
computer-aided instructional program, Interactive Concrete
BEam Design (ICBED), is being developed to assist civil
engineering students in learning this iterative procedure by
making it an interactive and dynamic experience. The rationale
for the development of this educational tool as well as the
overall structure of the program along with some important
unique features of the program are presented in this paper.
