• 3. MOMENT AMPLIFICATION
• 3.1 The presence of axial load produces secondary moments and unless the
axial load is relatively small, these additional moments must be accounted
for.
• 3.2 Given a beam-column with an axial load and a transverse uniform load,
at an arbitrary point O, the bending moment is due to:
• 3.2.1. Moment M due to uniform load
• 3.2.2. Additional ( secondary) moment Py, caused by the axial load acting at
an eccentricity y from the longitudinal axis. This secondary moment is
largest where the deflection is largest. The largest moment will occur at the
centerline where total moment is Mt = wl2/8 + Pδ.

• 3.3 The additional moment causes an additional deflection over and
above that resulting from the transverse load.
• 3.4 The total deflection cannot be found directly and this problem is
non-linear, and without knowing the deflection , we cannot compute
the moment.
• 3.5 Ordinary structural analysis method that do not take into account
the displaced geometry are referred to as first-order methods.

be used to find deflection and secondary moments.

moment in the member. The top chord is actually one
continuous member rather than a series of individual pin

• 3. Analyze the truss with these total joint loads acting. The
resulting axial load in the top chord member is the axial
