PRAXIS: A Program for Reproducing Proforma Design Calculations

D. Alcock * and D. Brown

The Old Georgian House, 39 Bell Street, Reigate, Surrey RH2 7AQ, UK

PRAXIS is a computer program for reproducing design calculations in a paginated and tidy layout suitable for submission to a checking authority. The program is particularly suited to making structural engineers' calculations comprising formulae and table look-up; it reproduces calculations under control of a proforma which is analogous to a computer program. A growing library exists of proformas from various branches of structural engineering. The paper describes PRAXIS and the language in which its proformas are composed. Examples of typical calculations are provided. The current scope and possible future of PRAXIS is discussed. PRAXIS is distributed free for educational and non-commercial use.

Received January 1988. revised April 1990.
