Microcomputer Applications in Structural Engineering

## SELECTING A MICROCOMPUTER uzu Une 155 inputting the torsional rigidity has been inserted, while lines 1660 and 1670 dealing with load case 5 for the axial member load must be deleted. ## Details of an Example Using the Grillage Program The following input data and results illustrate the use of the grillage program for the analysis of the grillage of Figure 5. 9. It can be seen that the layout follows a similar pattern to that of the plane frame example. Note that the joint load and the member loads are acting downwards in the direction of the Z axis and are, therefore, given as negative forces.
