= R6.2 — General

== R6.2.3 A first-order analysis satisfies the equations of
equilibrium using the original undeformed geometry of
the structure. When only first-order results are considered,
slenderness effects are not accounted for. Because these
effects can be important, 6.6 provides procedures to
calculate both individual member slenderness (Pδ) effects
and sidesway (PΔ) effects for the overall structure using the
first-order results.
 A second-order analysis satisfies the equations of
equilibrium using the deformed geometry of the structure.
If the second-order analysis uses nodes along compression
members, the analysis accounts for slenderness effects due
to lateral deformations along individual members, as well as
sidesway of the overall structure. If the second-order analysis
uses nodes at the member intersections only, the analysis
captures the sidesway effects for the overall structure but
neglects individual member slenderness effects. In this case,
the moment magnifier method (6.6.4) is used to determine
individual member slenderness effects.

 An inelastic analysis i) represents the nonlinear stress-strain response of the materials composing the structure; ii) satisfies compatibility of deformations; and iii) satisfies equilibrium in the undeformed configuration for first-order analysis or in the deformed configuration for second-order analysis.
 Finite element analysis was introduced in the 2014 Code to explicitly recognize a widely used analysis method.

== 6.2.4 Additional analysis methods that are permitted
include 6.2.4.1 through 6.2.4.4.

=== 6.2.4.1 Two-way slabs shall be permitted to be analyzed for gravity loads in accordance with (a) or (b):
(a) Direct design method for nonprestressed slabs
(b) Equivalent frame method for nonprestressed and prestressed slabs

=== R6.2.4.1 Code editions from 1971 to 2014 contained provisions for use
of the direct design method and the equivalent frame method. These methods are well-established and are covered in available texts. These provisions for gravity load analysis of two-way slabs have been removed from the Code because they are considered to be only two of several analysis methods currently used for the design of two-way slabs. The direct design method and the equivalent frame method of the 2014 Code, however, may still be used for the analysis of two-way slabs for gravity loads.

=== 6.2.4.2 Slender walls shall be permitted to be analyzed in accordance
with 11.8 for out-of-plane effects.

=== 6.2.4.3 Diaphragms shall be permitted to be analyzed in accordance
with 12.4.2.

=== 6.2.4.4 A member or region shall be permitted to be analyzed and designed using the strut-and-tie method in accordance
with Chapter 23.

== 6.2.5 Slenderness effects

=== 6.2.5.1 Slenderness effects shall be permitted to be neglected if (a) or (b) is satisfied:
(a) For columns not braced against sidesway
k.ℓu/r <= 22 ... (6.2.5.1a)

(b) For columns braced against sidesway
k.ℓu/r <= ( 34 + 12 (M1/M2) ) ... (6.2.5.1b)
and
k.ℓu/r <=40 ... (6.2.5.1c)

where M1/M2 is negative if the column is bent in single curvature, and positive for double curvature.

 If bracing elements resisting lateral movement of a story
have a total stiffness of at least 12 times the gross lateral
stiffness of the columns in the direction considered, it shall
be permitted to consider columns within the story to be
braced against sidesway.

== R6.2.5 Slenderness effects
 Second-order effects in many structures are negligible. In these cases, it is unnecessary to consider slenderness effects, and compression members, such as columns, walls, or braces, can be designed based on forces determined from first-order analyses. Slenderness effects can be neglected in both braced and unbraced systems, depending on the slenderness ratio (kℓu/r) of the member.
 The sign convention for M1/M2 has been updated so that M1/M2 is negative if bent in single curvature and positive if bent in double curvature. This reflects a sign convention change from the 2011 Code.
 The primary design aid to estimate the effective length factor k is the Jackson and Moreland Alignment
 Charts ( Fig. R6.2.5.1 ), which provide a graphical determination of k for a column of constant cross
 section in a multi-bay frame (ACI SP-17M(09); Column Research Council 1966).
 Equations ( 6.2.5.1 b) and ( 6.2.5.1 c) are based
 on Eq. ( 6.6.4.5.1 ) assuming that a 5 percent increase
 in moments due to slenderness is acceptable (MacGregor et al. 1970).
As a first approximation, k may be taken equal to 1.0 in Eq.
( 6.2.5.1 b) and ( 6.2.5.1 c).
 The stiffness of the lateral bracing is considered based
on the principal directions of the framing system. Bracing
elements in typical building structures consist of structural
walls or lateral braces. Torsional response of the lateral-force-resisting
system due to eccentricity of the structural system
can increase second-order effects and should be considered.

=== 6.2.5.2 The radius of gyration, r, shall be permitted to be
calculated by (a), (b), or (c):
(a) r= sqrt(Ig/Ag) (6.2.5.2)
(b) 0.30 times the dimension in the direction stability is
being considered for rectangular columns
(c) 0.25 times the diameter of circular columns

=== 6.2.5.3 Unless slenderness effects are neglected as permitted
by 6.2.5.1, the design of columns, restraining beams, and other
supporting members shall be based on the factored forces and
moments considering second-order effects in accordance
with 6.6.4, 6.7, or 6.8. Mu including second-order effects shall
not exceed 1.4Mu due to first-order effects.

=== R6.2.5.3 Design considering second-order effects may be based
on the moment magnifier approach (MacGregor et al. 1970;
MacGregor 1993; Ford et al. 1981), an elastic second-order analysis,
or a nonlinear second-order analysis. Fig. R6.2.5.3 is intended to
assist designers with application of the slenderness provisions of the Code.
 End moments in compression members, such as columns, walls, or braces, should be considered in the design of adjacent flexural members. In nonsway frames, the effects of magnifying the end moments need not be considered in the design of adjacent beams. In sway frames, the magnified end moments should be considered in designing the adjoining flexural members.
 Several methods have been developed to evaluate slenderness effects in compression members subject to biaxial bending. A review of some of these methods is presented in Furlong et al. (2004).
 If the weight of a structure is high in proportion to its lateral stiffness, excessive PΔ effects, where secondary moments are more than 25 percent of the primary moments, may result. The PΔ effects will eventually introduce singularities into the solution to the equations of equilibrium, indicating physical structural instability (Wilson 1997). Analytical research (MacGregor and Hage 1977) on reinforced concrete frames showed that the probability of stability failure increases rapidly
when the stability index defined in 6.6.4.4.1 , exceeds 0.2, which is equivalent to a secondary-to-primary moment ratio of 1.25. According to ASCE/SEI 7, the maximum value of the stability coefficient θ, which is close to the ACI stability coefficient Q, is 0.25. The value 0.25 is equivalent to a secondary-to-primary moment ratio of 1.33. Hence, the upper limit of 1.4 on the secondary-to-primary moment ratio was chosen.
