Use of Stability Functions in design
Use of Stability Functions in design
(OP)
I completed my MSc in Structures a year ago and part of my course was learning to use Stability Functions to calculate end-moments for axially loaded columns.
However, I have yet to use Stability Functions in my designs and the only reference I could find on the functions was in Coates, Coutie and Kong.
Has anyone any examples or references of frame design using Stability Functions, please?

The reference text for this was L. Matheson Hyperstatic Structures (I think Vol 2 ).
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. May I ask what secondary analysis is please. I was taught stability functions two-years ago so I assume the University had something in mind - or were they only filling in a gap in the syllabus.
