    EXAMPLE 1-019
    FRAME – BUCKLING OF A RIGID FRAME

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
    A one-story, one-bay, two-dimensional frame is subjected to an axial force, P, at
    the top of each column. The buckling load for this configuration is calculated and
    compared with independent results calculated using formulas derived in
    Timoshenko and Gere 1961. Several SAP2000 models are used. Each model is
    identical, except for the discretization of the three frame objects.

    Important Note: Only buckling in the XZ plane is considered. The frame is


    assumed to be braced against bucking in the YZ plane. This is achieved by
    making only the Ux, Uz and Ry degrees of freedom active in the analysis.

    Important Note: Only bending deformations are considered in the analysis.


    Shear and axial deformations are ignored. In SAP2000 this is achieved by setting
    the property modification factor for area to 100,000 and setting the property
    modification factor for shear area to 0.

    RESULTS COMPARISON
    Independent results are calculated using formulas presented in Article 2.4 on
    pages 62 through 66 in Timoshenko and Gere 1961.

    CONCLUSION
    The SAP2000 results show an acceptable comparison with the independent
    results. As the discretization increases the SAP2000 result converges to the
    independent result.
