Analysis Routine For Frames With No Sway - Moment Dist. Method

The document describes an analysis routine for calculating bending moments in frames with no sway. It includes 5 elements, 6 nodes, element properties, fixed end moments, and uniformly distributed loads. The routine calculates moment sums at each node and adjusts the fixed end moments based on the sums and relative stiffnesses to achieve equilibrium. The results show the final fixed end moments at each element end. A sample bending moment diagram is also shown for one element.
