Exercise description:
This exercise consists of understanding how to include the P-Delta effect in the static analysis of generic structures. To do this, we will run linear static analyzes to determine the final moments and forces of the members of a two-dimensional steel frame with 3 stories.
Next, we will calculate the design combinations by superimposing results. Finally, we will define and run nonlinear P-Delta analysis to include global second-order effects and compare the results.
