Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a "classical" or "exact" method of analyzing continuous frames which requires the direct solution of very few, if any, simultaneous equations. The greatest objection to methods of slope deflection, least work, and virtual work is the labor involved in the solution of these equations. There is some parallelism in form with the moment distribution method but the fundamental ideas are entirely different. The repeated cycles are entirely avoided. Reference is made to this parallelism to clarify the derivations and to help in visualizing the several steps in the solution of the problems.
