Over a 30 year period, DCALC Software was written by myself as a design aid for structural engineers. Practically all the programs were developed to automate the design of structures I designed during my career: bridges, buildings, parking structures, walls, tanks...even wooden buildings. The objective of DCALC has been simple: To produce calculations that an engineer can check (as opposed to "black box" results). Over the years, I have heard much advise - and praise - from structural engineers who use the
D esign codes have become so complex that preparing structural calculations can be a very difficult task. Gone are the days of doing calculations entirely by hand. These days, most structural engineers prepare calculations by a difficult juggling act using "black box" type design software supplemented by spreadsheets and hand calcs.
