    The document describes a method for conducting a stability analysis of frames. The method involves: 1) Using element stiffness matrices that include the effects of bending and axial force interaction. 2) Assembling the element matrices to form a global stiffness matrix and applying boundary conditions. 3) Introducing a load factor λ that multiplies all loads in fixed proportion throughout the analysis to find the critical applied load. 4) Setting the determinant of the global stiffness matrix to zero and determining λ using a numerical search technique, which gives the critical load factor.

    2. Use element stiffness matrices, such as that given in Table 11-22, that include
    the effects of bending and the axial force interaction.
    3. Assemble the element matrices to form the global stiffness matrix, and impose
    the boundary conditions on the global matrix using the procedure described in
    Appendix III.
    4. Let all internal axial forces remain in the same fixed proportions to each other
    throughout the search for the critical applied load. These fixed proportions are
    determined in step 1. Introduce a single load factor λ that holds for global
    structural matrices that model the entire structure. This λ is a common factor
    that multiplies all loads as they vary in fixed proportion.
    5. Let the determinant of the global stiffness matrix be zero and determine λ,
    usually employing a numerical search technique. This λ is the critical load
    factor.
    For examples, see Ref. [13.11].

    The stability analysis can also be conducted approximately, but efficiently, by


    employing the geometric stiffness matrix given in Table 11-23 and using the dis-
    placement method of Appendix III.
