Stability of Structures Analysis of a Frame Coursework

Stability of structures deals with forces acting on a particular structure, on the various components of the structure; how such forces are, or could cause a push or a pull on the structure. Otherwise, ‘stability of simple frames’ simply puts it that stability of the structure is concerned with establishing the position of a structure against failure, against collapse (Adina 2007, p. 14). This write-up presents an analysis of a frame shown in Figure 1. In analyzing the frame, the account is taken of the effect of axial load on the flexural stiffness of compression members.
