Description:

"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.
