Nonlinear problem is always occur in slender structures that are usually characterized by large displacements and rotations but small strains. Linear design assumption could lead to premature failure if the structure behaves nonlinearly. In this paper, the static displacement of a slender beam subjected to point load is investigated numerically by incorporating the large amplitude of the displacement. Two types of numerical analyses are performed at a full-scale finite element model which is linear static and geometric nonlinear implicit static. the results of the FEA linear static analysis are compared with the results from the FEA geometric nonlinear implicit static analysis. It shows that very high different load-displacement value response. Experimental static displacement test has been performed to validate both numerical results. © 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
