| Abstract [eng] |
The issues of creating the educational tool for the students of building engineering specialty in the universities of Lithuania to improve the understanding of the educational material of the reiforced concrete constructions module has been analysed in this paper. The main problem is the lack of problem-oriented software. This kind of software could provide the students with the possibility to use the theoretical material in practice by using its facilities for modelling the stress and deformation of reinforced concrete elements, for determining the change of the mentioned characteristics depending on the load until the end of observation period and for presenting this process graphically in the diagrams. The educational tool could provide the students with more definite representation of the behaviour of reinforced concrete, than the theoretical material does. The main functional and non-functional requirements have been identified for the software by carrying out the survey of the special user demands. According to these requirements, the architectural and explicit planning has been carried out. The programming language Visual Basic has been chosen for the programming. After accomplishing consistency tasks, auditorial calculations and the trial tests it was determined, that the tool meets all the requirements designed to it. |
