The paper presents a system of programs for calculating stresses and displacements in three-dimensional shear wall structures with uniform properties throughout the height. The analysis is carried out on the basis of the continuous connection method. The system allows for considering lateral and vertical loads, arbitrarily located in the plan and arbitrarily distributed along the height. The system is user-oriented and inexpensive in operation. Two numerical examples are given in the paper.
Users' involvement in a sofhvare process is one of strategies for achieving an improvement of software quality. The described research is refen-ed to the software system applied in civil engineering. The continual feedback from users makes possible to learn the user's point of view and to improve a product just according to her/his notes and expectations. The applied method based on a questionnaire survey has been presented-the layout of questionnaires is the original solution. Four iterations of the collaborative development, including software quality assessment, took place. The level of users' satisfaction from a product is currently better than that at the beginning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
