AB  - The purpose of this thesis is to provide a micro-computer program for the analysis of continuous non-prismatic frames. Member carry-over coefficients and stiffness constants are computed using the flexibility method; solution of the set of simultaneous equations is done by the modified Cholesky method for banded symmetric matrices; member end-moments are obtained by the use of the slope-deflection equation.
AB  - Capabilities and limitations of the thesis: 1. A maximum of sixty (60) continuous spans. 2. A maximum of twenty-four (24) changes in section per member. 3. No limit to the number of loading cases as well as to the number of loads per span. 4. Capable of handling uniform loads, triangular loads, or trapezoidal loads on full span or on partial span; and also concentrated loads. 5. No side-sways of frames is allowed, but end-moments from lateral forces could be incorporated in the loadings. 6. No support translation is allowed. 7. Only rectangular sections are applicable. 8. Each segment is bounded by straight lines. (no parabolic haunches) 9. Choice of input data; all properties and fixed-end moments computed by computer or given by user.
