Abstract

The substantial increase of the size and complexity of present structural engineering software applications necessitates the attainment of certain maintainability, reusability and extensibility capacities. The Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm can be employed together with Design Patterns (DPs) to develop flexible engineering software that facilitates modifications and extensions. Although DPs have been successfully adopted in computer science and business applications, their exploitation in structural engineering software has remained minimal. This paper discusses how DPs can be utilized in the design and development of engineering software that can be easily adjusted to facilitate various industry or research objectives.
