Abstract

In 21^st century, computers have been playing vital role in engineering and science. Many engineers and scientists utilize computers to solve the complex engineering problems through programming languages, such as C, C++, Java, Fortran, Python, Scilab, MATLAB, etc. Even though these languages are easy to implement in civil engineering discipline such as finite element analysis, structural dynamics, complex soil mechanics problems, design of reinforced concrete structures, steel structures etc., the students are not comfortable with these languages. Generally in Civil Engineering, analysis, interpretation of analysis and design are very important. To solve these problems best suitable languages are MATLAB, Scilab, Python, GNU OCTAVE and FORTRAN. Therefore it is necessary to introduce the programming languages in civil engineering discipline to aid students to solve complex problems by their tutors. In this paper by using singularity functions, the generalized shear force and bending moment diagrams of the beams with different loading conditions via medium MATLAB and GNU OCTAVE have been drawn.

Keywords
