"FRAME.xls" is a MS-Excel spreadsheet workbook for the analysis
of portal and gable rigid frames. The program utilizes the stiffness
matrix method for analysis. Shear deformation effects are not
considered.
The program draws (plots) the frame for purpose of visually verifying the input joint coordinates.
The
program computes support reactions, member end forces, member maximum
moments, and joint displacements. Shear and moment diagrams are
plotted for all members in the frame. User may select either pinned or
fixed condition for either support.
All the worksheets are
independent and self contained, so that you can move them from one
workbook to another. All the worksheets are protected, but not with a
password.
Please read the "DOC" worksheet for program details as well as assumptions and limitations.
