Abstract
A simple nonlinear model (called the Q-Model) for seismic displacement history analysis of reinforced concrete plane frames was implemented on a Commodore 64. The manual presents a brief description of the model and outlines the procedure to use the model. It is assumed that the user is familiar with the derivation of the properties of the Q-Model.
