The main purpose of the thesis is to develop an
automatic design program for reinforced concrete beam , it can
read all the necessary information from the ETABS input and
output files automatically and do the beam reinforcement
detail design for a whole building . Thus, it would not only
save a lot of human efforts and time but also reduce the human
mistakes . The main function of the program is to design the
beam flexural reinforcement , shear reinforcement and cut
points. It consider the whole disposition automatically, and
there are three choices of design which includes strong
seismic design,medium seismic design and ordinary design . It
can also draw the moment diagram and the reinforcement
arrangement diagram automatically . The results from this
program were compared with the results from CONKER for
several examples to verify the correctness and capability of
this program .
