The planar frames whose members consist of a laced built-up members are often used in civil engineering practice. For chords of these structures the 1st order theory internal forces and the assessment by equivalent column method are mostly used. In the equivalent column method the buckling length according to the global buckling mode of the structures should be used. If the distance between neighboring nodes is used as the buckling length of the chord, which is the common case, the second order effects with only the bow imperfections between nodes are taken into account in the equivalent column method. For frames sensitive to buckling in a sway mode the second order effects on structures with initial sway imperfection should be taken into account. Therefore, also in frames with the laced compression columns, where the effects of additional sway deformation cause additional normal forces in the chords, the sway imperfection should be applied and the second order in frame analysis should be performed to check these additive forces. This paper deals with the simplified procedure how to evaluate additive forces due to second order effects on the structure with the global sway imperfection.

The evaluation of second-order effects of steel framed structures can provide different analysis results than using linear analysis methods. In various structural engineering literature were distinguished different methods of analysis: taking or without taking into account second-order effects. It depends on the sensitivity to the horizontal actions. The slenderer the structure, the more sensitive it is to horizontal actions. Using nonlinear methods, the sensitivity of steel frame to second-order impact is considered. This paper shows the importance of evaluations of the second-order effects in behaviour of steel frame structures. Performed investigations reveal the influence of the rotational stiffness of the joints to the behaviour of whole framed structure. Calculation results show that decreased flexibility of the semi-rigid joints increase sensitivity of the framed structure to the second-order effects and vice versa. The identified interdependence between the sensitivity to the second-order effects and the flexibility of the semi-rigid joints highlights the importance of evaluation of such dependencies.

Many analytical techniques have been developed for the inelastic analysis of multi-storey framed structures subjected to earthquake excitations. Most of these analyses have ignored the influence of the geometric effects due to the large lateral displacements on the response of the structure. However, there has been an increasing interest recently in these second order effects and, in particular, their consequences for the design of the column members in the frame. This paper describes the modification of an inelastic frame analysis to include the effects of large displacements and then the application
to three typical New Zealand concrete structures subjected to a variety of earthquake excitations. Comparisons are then made with results obtained from analyses ignoring these effects. The results are then reviewed in order to determine the nature of the problems, to determine when these second order effects should be considered and discusses methods of limiting these displacements.
