This video gives an introduction to the P-Delta effect, explains how to compute the second order (non-linear) deflection of a simple column by iteration, how it can be critical for tall buildings in terms of strength and serviceability, and a basic algorithm for computation. This background is required to extending the computation to complex structures using the geometric stiffness matrix.
