<strong>Scaffolding</strong><br />

In this figure, the stiffness K is divided in the elastic stiffness KE and the geometrical stiffness KG. The<br />

geometrical stiffness reflects the effect of axial forces in beams and slabs. The symbol u depicts the<br />

displacements and F is the force matrix.<br />

The criterion for convergence is defined as follows:<br />

∑<br />

Calculate KE<br />

KG = 0<br />

K = KE - KG<br />

Solve K.u = F<br />
