An information management and mapping system combining a series of interactive computer programs for stratigraphic, lithofacies, paleogeographic, and structural analysis interfaced with a comprehensive database on subsurface geology produces contour maps of quantitative variables including structure maps, isopach maps, and maps of lithofacies parameters; detailed lithologic and stratigraphic logs; and printouts of lithofacies parameters for all levels of the lithostratigraphic subdivision. Users communicate by means of simple, on-screen, menu-driven dialogues controlled by FORTRAN programs. The system runs on DEC/Micro VAX II computers operating under VMS. This information management and mapping system for subsurface stratigraphic analysis is an integration of a comprehensive database on the subsurface geology of Israel and a series of computer programs for stratigraphic, lithofacies, paleogeographic, and structural analysis. Development of the system, referred to as "ATLAS -RELIANT," was sponsored by OEIL [Israel Oil Exploration (Investment) Ltd.). The system serves primarily as a storage and retrieval facility for information on the subsurface geology of Israel. Users can obtain printouts of lithologic and stratigraphic logs, contour maps, and value maps. The system originally was developed to run on a CDC machine under the NOS/BE operating system. Later OEIL expanded the database to include many additional items of information [inventory of cores and petrophysical logs, results of production tests, results of petrophysical analyses, geochemical analyses of recovered fluids (water samples and hydrocarbons), and results of quantitative analyses of petrophysical logs] and the system was modified to run on DEC/Micro VAX II computers under the VMS operating system (Shertok, 1969). Among other things, the ATLAS-RELIANT system was instrumental in the regional stratigraphic analysis of the subsurface geology of Israel performed by OEIL during 1968-1988 (OEIL, 1966; Cohen et al., 1990). The database, dubbed "ATLAS," is about 16 MB in size and contains information on 320 petroleum exploration and development boreholes, 50 deep water wells, and 100 columnar sections of outcrops.

The hydrodynamic mass approach to the solution of dynamic problems in coupled fluid-cylindrical shells is reviewed; simplified equations for computing the hydrodynamic masses and for the subsequent solution of the eigenvalue problem are given in several commonly encountered special cases. Methods of incorporating the hydrodynamic mass concept into finite element structural analysis computer programs for the more general cases are discussed.

Multi-storey buildings are vertical buildings that are made to meet human needs as places of education, government, commerce, sports facilities and others. As the development of science and technology, especially in the field of civil engineering, many computer programs have been developed to help in analyzing and designing a building structure. There are several computer programs developed to analyze and design structures, including SAP 2000 (Structural Analysis Program), with this program, it will be easier for writers to plan a building.The research carried out was to plan the structure of a six-story hotel building. This hotel building is the object of research planned by the author and was designed using the help of the SAP2000 program. Building design planning only includes planning beams and columns. In this plan the writer uses references such as regulations, PPPURG 1987, SNI 03-2847-2002, SNI - 1726 - 2002The results of the design of the hotel building structure used three variations that have the results of column K1 used size 45 cm x 45 cm, reinforcement base 12 D16 and stirrup reinforcement ?10-90, column K2 used size 35 cm x 35 cm, base reinforcement 8 D16 and stirrup reinforcement ?10-90, B1 beam used size 20 cm x 40 cm, support reinforcement 7 D14, field reinforcement 7 D14, waistline 2 D12, and support stirrup reinforcement ?10-80 and field stirrup ?10-170, beam B2 used size 15 cm x 20 cm, 75D14 support reinforcement, 5 D14 field reinforcement, 2 D12 waistline, and pedestal stirrup ulangan10-30 and field stirrup ?10-70

Abstract In this article a comparative analysis was performed between analytical method and widely available computer programs employed in beam design like: ADINA, Robot Structural Analysis, Intersoft R2D2 and RM-WIN. In the analysis a simple case of a simply supported beam and uniformly distributed load over the length of the span was assumed. The conclusions from analysis are presented at the end of the study.

In recent years there has been a rapid expansion in the number of structural analysis and design computer programs commercially available to the design engineer. The following paper summarizes the current 'state of the art' of this software and outlines some of the major features. A broad coverage of the practical considerations surrounding the use of these programs is followed by a description of individual programs and their uses. Only those programs known to be readily available through Canadian computer bureaus are included in the review.

Definition of artistic and compositional features and specialty of ecological architecture for improving the design of a modern collection of women's wear in the spring and summer season. To achieve this goal, analytical and associative methods of artistic and compositional features of the creative source were used, system-structural analysis of the form of analogues, questionnaire-expert and morphological analyzes; sketches and schemes are performed using modern computer programs. On the basis of the conducted research the concept of creation of universal forms of women's clothing is formed by applying aesthetic, constructive and technological features of eco-architecture in designing a modern costume. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is to systematize the basic principles of ecological architecture with their subsequent use in the process of creating harmonized forms of modern clothing. The practical significance of the work lies in the design-design and implementation in the material of the prospective collection of women's wear using artistic and compositional features of ecological architecture and taking into account modern fashion trends.
