This document proposes a method, devised by the author, of solving boundary value problems for the structural analysis of frames, beams, and trusses. Differential equations are considered here together with a set of boundary conditions. Compatibility equations for joint displacements and equilibrium equations for member end forces at joints serve as boundary conditions. The EST method programs written in GNU Octave language assemble and solve sparse systems of equations with unknown member end displacements and forces. The analysis technique is illustrated with numerous examples accompanied with GNU Octave programs.
