电子计算机在美国土木工程上的应用,近二十年来得到了很大的发展,这里仅以美国西海岸的Boyle 工程公司为例,来说明这种应用的发展情况。六十年代初期,Boyle 公司使用一台普通精度的 LGP21型计算机,只是解决一些数字计算问题(即依靠计算机服务站做一些商业性的数据处理和建设部门的成本帐目)。到六十年代中期,Boyle公司逐渐在洪水分水线模拟、水源分配系统的分析等问题上扩大了计算站的用途。在计算机的实时分 The application of electronic computers in civil engineering in the United States has been greatly developed in the past two decades. Here only the Boyle Engineering Company on the west coast of the United States is taken as an example to illustrate the development of this application. In the early 1960s, Boyle Company used an ordinary precision LGP21 type computer, only to solve some digital computing problems (that is, rely on computer service stations to do some commercial data processing and construction department’s cost accounts). By the mid-1960s, Boyle gradually expanded the use of computing stations on issues such as the simulation of flood waterlines and the analysis of water distribution systems.
