Module A – Structural Analysis
In many flexural structures, such as current steel framed structures, the ultimateload tends to be governed by instability phenomena - collapse modescharacterized by large lateral displacements induced by members submitted tohigh axial compression forces.
The collapse by instability phenomena may involve the global structure (globalinstability) 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) presenthigh buckling loads and sway structures present low buckling loads.

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

Approximate methods – WOOD’s METHOD (can be found in thepublication P119 of ECCS or other references).
The application of this method consists of the following steps:
- determination of the equivalent length Le for the column to be studied(depending if the structure is “sway” or “non-sway”);
- determination of the critical load of the column Ncr, using equation:
- calculation of cr by:
This process must be repeated for all columns of the structure in order to findthe lowest critical load multiplier cr .

where: HEd is the total horizontal reaction at the top of the storey,VEd is the total vertical reaction at the bottom of the storey, H,Ed is the relative horizontal displacement between the top and the bottom of a
given storey, when the frame is loaded with the design horizontal loads (included imperfections) and
