    The Structural Design Language, known by the acronym STRUDL, is a series of computer programs for solving problems in structural engineering. STRUDL is a broad, extensive, and general program operating as a subsystem of the Integrated Civil Engineering Systems (ICES) . It can be applied in many ways to a wide class of practical problems.

    This manual serves to document the external character istics of STRUDL. It describes the language syntax and its semantics. Commentary on how STRUDE might be used to solve problems, and on user considerations for improved performance, is provided.

    STRUDL is an information system. An engineer may use STRUDL to store and retrieve information about his structure. The language is easily understandable to an engineer, structured to be similar to a dialog between two engineers.

    This publication presents information necessary for proper usage of ICES STRUDL-I. Chapter 2 describes the conventions used for describing the language, and in its usage. Chapters 3 to 8 detail the syntax and meaning of STRUDL commands, and Chapter 9 provides a short example of the use of STRUDL for problem solving.

    Analytic procedures in ICES STRUDL-I apply to framed structures, that is, two- or three- dimensional structures composed of slender, linear members. Frame members are line elements which can be represented by properties along a centroidal axis. Such a structure is composed of joints, including support joints and the members connecting the joints. A variety of force conditions on member ends and at support joints may be specified implicitly by means of structural type and orientation commands or explicitly for a member or joint. STRUDL wll also make use of handbook tables created and edited with the TABLE subsystem of ICES

  • Lee, JAN review of Wells 1967 view details Abstract: This manual is designed as a complement to the ICES STRUDL-I Engineering user's Manual. Contained on the following pages are example problems, comments, and explanations of the uses of the various STRUDL commands. In addition, sample output is included, Ninth explanations of sign conventions, etc.

    The reader is assumed to be familiar with the ICES STRUDL-I Engineering user's Manual, and reference should be made to this publication when in doubt about the function of a command or the definition of a symbol.
