Abstract: This paper describes the algorithm of force distribution method(FDM) for geotechnical analysis. The formulae are deduced. Because the proposed method belongs to distribution method, it has the advantages: it is no need to form the global matrix and solve the global equations, while the unbalanced force on each node is eliminated gradually node-by-node; the conception is clear and easy to understand, the algorithm is easy to learn and to be programed by computer as well. As its features mentioned above, the FDM will be widely applied study of many geotechnical cases.

Key words: force distribution method, node-by-node algorithm, geotechnical engineering
