Abstract:
A simple nonlinear model (called the Q-Model) for seismic displacement history analysis
of reinforced concrete plane frames was implemented on a Commodore 64. This manual
presents a brief description of the model (see the Appendix) and outlines the procedure to
use the model. It is assumed that the user is familiar with the derivation of the
properties of the Q-Model. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the input preparation
and the resulting output (Abstract by authors).
