Dear everyone,
Do you have Mathcad Sheet to calculate external force of continuous beam analysis ? Please share me
And could you guide me how to calculate Global Matrix Stiffness of flexural Member in mathcad?
Many thank

Hi,

 

It is recommended in engineering practice to use any of a number of frame engineering packages such as Sap, Staad Pro, Spacegass, Microstran, Strand 7.  These all have excellent user interfaces that minimise the time of input, analysis, and viewing results.  This includes input of sections of steel and concrete members.  Most have design elements so you can check or design members to meet the desired input.  It is best to not reinvent the wheel.  Prices are not to onerous for an engineer in practice.

 

I include a simple frame analysis in Mathcad that will handle a continuous beam.

    Thank u terryhendicott

    I have use Sap2000. Do you have the book that relate to Beam Global stiffness matrix (More than 3 span) ?
