The 2005 AISC Specification contains significant changes to the methods available for stability analysis and design of steel structures. The AISC Specification now includes three methods of analysis: the direct analysis method, the effective length method and the first-order analysis method. This seminar discusses the background to each of these methods, their application to design and the strengths and weaknesses of each design approach.
