AUTOMATED SECOND-ORDER ELASTIC ANALYSIS FOR STEEL SPACE FRAMES

This paper describes two methods of including second-order elastic effects in space frame analysis as well as a FORTRAN computer program which executes the stiffness modification method while checking steel wide flange beam-columns for compliance with the AISC Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specification. The details are descsribed of the computer analysis method and the computer program, SPFNL (space frame, nonlinear).
