Structural Analysis Computer Programs To Download For No Additional Cost Ten computer programs are available from this website to accompany the book Structural Analysis: A unified classical and matrix approach, 5th edition by Ghali, Neville and Brown. A detailed description of the software, its objectives, its input and its output are included in Appendix L of the book. In Appendix L, the computer programs are divided into three groups:
The computer programs for groups (A) and (C) are available to download from this website. The computer programs for group (B) are available on disk and can be ordered from the authors by using the form in the back of the book. The software can be run on IBM computers or compatibles operating with Windows or with DOS prompt (Command Prompt). The software available to download consists of ten computer programs: (A) Linear analysis programs (basis: Chapter 22)
These five programs are, respectively for the linear analysis of plane frames, space frames, plane trusses, space trusses, and grids. (C) Matrix algebra (basis: Appendix A)
These simple programs can perform frequently needed matrix operations. The program ADD calculates the sum: [C] = Three files are provided for each of the ten programs: The source code of each program contains, at its beginning, a short description of the output and instructions for the preparation of the input file. The PLANEF, SPACEF, PLANET, SPACET, PLANEG, ADD, MULTIPLY, INVERT, SOLVE and DETERM software has been produced by the Authors of Structural Analysis to accompany the book and is not for sale. The software is available for individual use only. It has been assumed that the design and the assessment of structures are entrusted to experienced engineers, and that calculations are carried out under the direction of appropriately experienced and qualified supervisors. Users of this software are expected to draw upon other works on the subject including national and international codes of practice, and are expected to verify the appropriateness and the content of information they draw from this software. Although maximum care has been taken in preparing the software the Authors and the Publisher do not warrant that the functions contained in the software will meet the users' requirements, or that the operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the software is compatible with the users' hardware equipment or software operating environment, or that defects in the software will be corrected.
