Development of Design Program of Fitting and Thrust Block for Huge Water Supply Pipelines

대수로용 Fitting 및 Thrust Block의 구조설계 프로그램 개발

The design program of fitting and thrust block including various shapes and sizes was developed for the GMR project (Great Man-made River Project in Lybia). It can automatically recalculated the minimum size of fitting required for the structural performance and can also determine the proper size of fitting for the safe and economic design by users. It was found that the results of this program was accurate and efficient when it was compared to other references. This program is also developed with GUI (Graphic User Interface) technology for the convenience of users.
