Abstract

Computers have been playing an important role in Civil engineering discipline. The aid of programming languages is unfathomable in designing the Civil engineering structures like buildings, hydraulic structures etc. In this paper, the design of biaxial rectangular or square column is performed for three different columns for different ultimate loading and ultimate moments by an educational software written in Visual Basic (VB) 6.0. The user interface of this software gives results of percentage of minimum steel, area of the steel and orientation of steel bars in bi-axial column. The students expressed their improvement after introducing this robust software. The understanding level of subject by students is analyzed before and after using this software is presented in this paper.

Keywords
