| Abstract | This study investigates the applicability of an 8-bit
microcomputer (APPLE Il) for a thrHe -dimensional analysis of tall
bui.idings. Th.e concept of rigid floor diaphraym is considered.
Certain aspects of progral'Jl11ling technique considering the limit
incore memory and the relatively low speed of microcomputer are
discussed . Then, a illicrocomputer program for three-dimensional
analysis of buildings (m'.I'AB ) i s developed using Applesoft BASIC
la n guage under Apple disk operating system (DOS) • This program
fully utilizes the limited incore memory a nd minimi zes the number
of data transfers. Compil.a tion ot programs and the binary f orrii
o f data storage also help enhance the s p eeds of execution a nd
disk data transters. Finally, three numerical examples are
solved by this program to Illustrate its effectiveness. |
