I have been trying to replicate the results of a Direct Analysis Method example given in an article in "Structural Engineer". The analysis is of a fixed-free column subjected to an axial and lateral load at the free end. However, I have tried many different approaches and can not seem to match...
I am trying to understand how to correctly implement second-order analysis, and I am having a difficult time understanding what to do for a simple cantilever column. The column has both an axial load and a lateral load acting at the very top. I think that the first order moment caused by the...
