A formulation for calculating end moments of gable frame members which are primarily subjected to bending is presented. The resultant equations can be solved by Gauss-seidel iteration. Computational procedure is given, and based on that, sample problems are solved. The method presented in this paper can be applied to the single span as well as multispan gable frames. In addition, the procedure is convenient for ordinary calculator user and also it can be utilized for computer programming.
