Abstract The purpose of this paper is to further explore some of the implications of the author's previous studies on the effect of sway stiffness in structural calculations. Particular emphasis is placed on the determination of effective lengths in sway-free structures. It is shown that these are often, in fact, in the sway prevented category due to the available sway stiffness in the rest of the structure. This stiffness, if large enough, can result in the buckling load being equal to or close to the no-sway buckling load. Reference is also made to the wind connection method and to stepped columns in portal frames. A simple design method is given which a designer can use to determine whether he is, potentially, in a sway-prevented situation and examples are given to illustrate cases which can be confidently assumed to be sway-prevented and others which suggest the advantage of further checking.
