Modul e A St r uc t ur al Anal ysi s
In many flexural structures, such as current steel framed structures, the ultimate
load tends to be governed by instability phenomena - collapse modes
characterized by large lateral displacements induced by members submitted to
high axial compression forces.
The collapse by instability phenomena may involve the global structure (global
instability) or only some members (partial instability).

i) Analytical evaluation (out of scope of this course).
ii) Numerical calculation (used by computer programs Robot,.).
iii) Approximate methods (Horne, Wood, ).
In general, non-sway structures (which include braced structures) present
high bucklingloads and sway structures present lowbucklingloads.

The elastic buckling load (also called elastic critical load) of a structure
may be determined by several processes:

Approximate methods WOODs METHOD (can be found in the
publication P119 of ECCS or other references).
The application of this method consists of the followingsteps:
- determination of the equivalent length L
e
for the column to be studied
(depending if the structure is swayor non-sway);
- determination of the critical load of the column N
cr
, using equation:
- calculationof o
cr
by:
This process must be repeated for all columns of the structure in order to find
the lowest critical load multiplier o
cr
.
