SDG: Structure Design Graph tutorial

SDG is an Excel program to design moment frame, braced frame, and shear wall structures for gravity, lateral wind and seismic loads SDG computes and visualizes the effect of gravity and lateral loads SDG requires some knowledge of structural design for gravity and lateral wind and seismic loads SDG requires a PC with MS Excel macros Enabled Press > Ctrl-Shift-R to run SDG
