Abstract

A computer analysis is described for the elastic-perfectly plastic analysis of reinforced concrete planar frames. This computer program requires less computer time and memory space and is intended as practical analysis and design uses. The computer program is capable of complete analysis of reinforced concrete frames from zero load until failure under any system of static gravity and lateral loads. The program can cater for any given geometry and end conditions. The analysis of reinforced concrete frames uses a computer program as a subroutine to calculate the moment-curvature characteristics under a constant load applied at the section centroid. A reinforced concrete frame tested by Cranston and Cracknell [1] are analyzed using the computer program developed and the results are compared with the experimental results. It is noted that the proposed nonlinear analysis satisfactorily reproduced the behavior of reinforced concrete plane frames from zero loads until failure. © 1981.
