1.0 Introduction
Imperfection in structures can be described as deviations and inconsistencies in structures and structural members, which
can affect the behaviour of the structure from the theoretically assumed perfect state. Imperfection in structures are often
envisaged during analysis, and their effects are taken into consideration, especially in cases where they could be critical.

For example, when a beam member that is supposed to be 400mm depth is finished as 395mm, then this is geometric

imperfection. According to clause 5.2(1)P of Eurocode 2, deviation in members cross-section is normally taken into
account in material partial factor of safety, and may not need to be analysed for again.
Also, when a 2-storey framed building that is supposed to be perfectly straight/vertical is leaning by say an angle of 3
degrees, this is also geometric imperfection. This form of geometric imperfection is taken into account when analysing
sensitive structures.
Material imperfection is often taken care of by introducing material factor of safety in design.

At the roof level, imp1 = ϕV1 = 0.00272 × (25 + 65 + 25) = 0.3128 KN

At the second floor, imp2 = ϕV2 = 0.00272 × (70 + 126 + 70) = 0.7235 KN
These imperfections belong to each cross frame (bay). For the double bay frame in our example, the imperfection will need BEAMS (24) BRIDGES (5)

The moment diagram below is for external load with the effect of imperfection inclusive.
Analysis of results
Maximum Moment on ground floor column without the effect of imperfection (column at RHS) = 99.979 KNm
Maximum Moment on ground floor column with the effect of imperfection (column at RHS) = 109.048 KNm
This shows that these imperfections have more effect on the bending moment of the structure than on the axial load.
For shear force on the columns, a difference of about 8.123% was observed.
