------------------------
P-Delta Analysis is a type of analysis that is particularly important for laterally displacing multi-story building structures experiencing a gravity load.
In this video, Paul from SkyCiv will explain in more details:
1. What is P-Delta Analysis and when it should be used? 00:11
2. What is the downside of P-Delta Analysis? 02:21

Hi, in the future videos it would be clearer for listeners if no background music, thank you for the good explanation.

[@SkyCiv]

Thanks for your feedback Romeo, we'll try to make the audio clearer in the future.

[@ineverlickyoghurtlid3903]

solved my problem. thank you.

[@Elisaaa94]

thank you !

[@MemewVlogs]

Nice great presentation Paul...
Btw Mac here!👍👍👍

[@kirtisingh9067]

Hi, Thanks for the explanation. Could you please tell me if there is any specific name given to P small delta effect ? Or what is it called in analysis softwares ? I wanted to investigate the effect of axial load on the stiffness of a multi storey frame. Thanks

[@DrRohanDasgupta]

Thank you. This was very useful.

[@SkyCiv]

Glad it helped!

[@salmanjamil1248]

Excellent explanation and in very plain words! Really appreciate it! Though audio could use some attention!😉

[@SkyCiv]

I agree Salman! Thanks for the feedback we have started using microphones now :)

[@UpperXEgo]

thanks

[@JeancarloRibas]

very good explanation... you need to improve the audio quality...
I practically couldn't understand anything...
anyway the software is fantastic ... congratulations

[@SkyCiv]

Thanks for the feedback Jeancarlo! We'll improve our sound quality for the next video.

[@Ankita-vl9el]

This was very helpful..thank you..can you please make detailed video on small p and big p delta analysis?

[@garetcapress]

You said its a mult-storey building, I understand the gravity load P is almost zero at the top
If you said lower story columns that would have made sense.
Overall, load would rather acts around centre of mass.

[@SkyCiv]

Good point Nazar - thanks for the comment. Correction: that negative P would be from the gravity load from the stories above

[@garetcapress]

@@SkyCiv Thank you for your replay. Best of luck with your software.

[@jatintank3188]

Remove background noice. I literally can't hear anything.

[@SkyCiv]

Thanks for the feedback - we have upgraded to using microphones for all our future videos :)

[@praveenanand852]

voice is echoing

[@SkyCiv]

Hi Praveen, we've improved our voice in recent videos, hope you'll like the new ones!
