ANALYSIS OF RIVETED PLATE GIRDERS BY AREA 1973 SPECIFICATIONS

File name is GRD. Program analyzes a riveted plate girder with or without cover plates in compliance with the 1973 AREA Specification when subjected to a given moment, and shear. Messages are printed to indicate dimensional incompatibilities or specification violations. Moments of inertia, stresses, and other information are printed to aid the designer in evaluating a girder or making another selection. Data input is free-form. Program is on approximately 240 cards. Program was developed primarily for use in teaching structural steel design.
