Q2. What is P-delta Analysis
Ans. 
P-delta analysis is a second-order analysis method used in structural engineering to account for the effects of axial loads on the overall stability of a structure.
• P-delta analysis considers the interaction between the applied loads and the deformed shape of the structure.

• It is used to assess the stability of tall or slender structures, where the effects of second-order forces become significant.

• P-delta effects can lea...read more
