So did you use a lateral load of 0.001Pu instead of 0.01Pu for your calculations, or did you just use the out-of-plumbness value of 0.001 for the calculation of Pe2?
And I actually found that article you posted yesterday, which was extremely helpful. I had been looking everywhere for an actual...
Thank you StructuralEIT. I guess I was convinced that my error was in the procedure or theory, and overlooked my simple mistake. Sometimes it just takes another set of eyes.
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...
