Reinforced concrete building design project & project based learning (Case Study)

As for this summary design works, it could be stated that the manual calculation and software calculation (PROKON) may have plenty of difference as the method of calculation as well as the standards that was used are very different in certain point or equation. As an engineer, both manual and software calculation has been used in order to determine the accuracy of the value or design specification that would be implement throughout the project. From this point, it is defined that by implementing both manual and software calculation, the outcome results may be more accurate and precise and the specification can be taken a bit bigger or higher after comparing the value. This method of comparing has been applied by many experts in engineering as it could help them ensuring the quality as well as the safety of the project. But what is PROKON software actually? What are the advantages of using PROKON? PROKON is actually defined or known as PROKON Structural Analysis and Design software which is a suite of over forty structural analysis, design and detailing programs. The first PROK ON programs were established in the year of 1989, and until today PROKON is currently being used worldwide in over eighty countries. The suite is specializing in nature, but its true hidden specialty lies in the tight integration between analysis, design and detailing programs. PROK ON is actually developed and supported fully by skilled team of professional engineers and it was intended to be use by structural engineer and technician as it would lessens their own burden by a lot. This is because the software helps them to do the calculation, they needed to do instead of spending their time revising and determining the specifications of the project. The software also provides quick, and reliable answers to everyday structural engineering problems such that frame and finite element analysis, steel member design, steel connection design, reinforced and prestressed concrete design, CAD and reinforced concrete detailing, timber member design, masonry design as well as geotechnical analysis.
