Abstract
In this thesis, frontal subroutines are implemented to a plane frame analysis program for execution on the IBM PC. The resulting program solves for the unknown joint displacements of frame structures with large numbers of degrees of freedom by utilizing a peripheral back-up storage; which can not be analyzed directly in core. A comparison of the frontal solver and the out-of-core band solver is presented.
