Sustainable Design Automation for Simple and Repetitive Structures
One of the fast and economical ways of putting tunnels or stream crossings under roadways is to use box culverts. Because of their simple geometric configuration, precast concrete box culverts with various dimensions are commonly used in many countries including India. In some cases, non-standard box culverts are also used, for which the design document has to be produced per project design specification. The design process of box culverts is relatively easy and repetitive because of their typical geometric configuration. In practice, engineers are following exactly the same process with different dimensions and loading conditions to design box culverts. Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is, therefore, often used to speed up this repetitive calculation process. However, it has been challenging to keep all engineering calculations and drawings of a specific box culvert for its lifecycle, which makes it hard to make informed decisions for repairing damages. Knowing that various web-based systems are used to maintain design documents, one may wonder if a web-based application can meet both requirements: design automation and sustainable document management. This paper presents the web-based application we developed to prove that (1) the box culvert design process could be automated, and (2) all design documents are managed in one location.
