CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS AND DATA PROCESSING. EXAMPLE OF APPLICATION ON THE ZARATE-BRAZO LARGO RAILWAY SYSTEM

THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LARGE STRUCTURE RESULTS IN THE ACQUISITION OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF VARIOUS DATA WHICH MUST NECESSARILY BE PROCESSED ON A COMPUTER TO ENSURE ROUTINE MATERIAL CONTROL PROGRAMS AND PRODUCTION PROGRAMS, AND TO SET UP A DATA BANK FOR HISTORIC ARCHIVES, BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND STATISTICAL. THIS PROCESS IS APPLIED TO THE STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOUR OF A BRIDGE. THIS PAPER WAS PRESENTED TO THE 5TH PANAMERICAN SYMPOSIUM ON STRUCTURES, HELD IN CARACAS, VENEZUELA.
