Analysis of Second-Order Effect in Frame

【Abstract】 The second order effect is the interaction between the vertical load and the deformation in a vertically forced element. In order to deduce a more brief but practical method, which has considered the second order effect in a sway frame, some factors which affect the second order deformation in a sway frame should be generalized based on a more accurate method. Nonlinear finite element is adopted in this paper, and according to this theory, a program, which can calculate the inner force and the deformation of the sway frame considering the second order effects is coded.更多还原
