Abstract

The paper describes interactive microcomputer programs for linear and non-linear analysis of framed structures under static loading. These programs represent useful analytical complements to the design process used in structural engineering practice. The programs permit linear elastic analysis of two and three dimensional framed structures. The programs may be used in a sequential manner to predict the elastic instability loads of planar frames. They may also be used iteratively to model elastic-plastic behaviour of planar frames up to the simple plastic collapse condition. The paper highlights the value of structured programming in achieving memory conservation in microcomputers.
