Hi all,
I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of:
$$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$
Where:
## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear
## h ## is the storey height
## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ##
## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ##
## C...
