The main body of the report will provide the reader with general explanation of what the program does and how it accomplishes it. A detailed explanation of the program will be provided in the appendices. The report will introduce a description of the logic used to cost optimize, an example problem, and areas where the program can be improved.electronicen-CAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ecsenior reportMcKim, R.A., McKimCivil Engineering
