This study is a further extension of investigating the suitability and capability of a Microcomputer (IBM PC) for interactive graphics and the detail design of reinforce concrete Beam-column junctions. A computer program is written in advanced Basic. It follows the previous work which was in accordance with the basic requirements of the AC1 code. The Structural modelling of a building is first introduced, then design aspects of the study and the approach adopted to achieve the aim of the project have been discussed. The organization of the microcomputer program has been described. A user manual including and numerical example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the program. Finally, information concerning the computer graphics capabilities has been provided.
