The Automated Design Of Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert Under Earth-rockfill Dam

Culvert is a widely used underground building, belonging to the hidden works, and the lifeline project which known internationally. Reinforced concrete box culvert is hydraulic engineering occupy a considerable amount of culvert types, especially earth dam wide application. In recent years, with the national water census carried out, more and more dangerous reservoirs were included in the scope of reinforcement, most of embankment dam. One can imagine, the designment of concrete box culvert under the dam embankment dam has become an onerous task for primary water design staff,and in urgent need of a box culvert structure able to calculate the amount of construction drawings and engineering statistical integration in one software program.Firstly, reinforced concrete box culvert relevant design specification, combined with the experience of experts and some getting used hydraulic design professionals, the basic steps and parameters box culvert design study, summed up a relatively complete box culvert design method and processes using Visual Basic 6.0 programming on this basis to achieve programmed culvert design process parameter input module and core computing modules; then according to the basic theory of Auto CAD second development, the use of Active X tools, and a combination of VB programming, establish culvert design data Access database to achieve the secondary development of Auto CAD to complete procedures automatic drawing module; and finally the full integration of the various components of a modular system, making it both self-completed structure calculation,can automatically output quantities statistics and some construction plans, and box culvert under the dam embankment dam design automation ultimately.
