Meaning: When loads are placed using the absolute position method, the load's position is measured from the start of the member towards the end of the member. For example, you place a concentrated load 1.5 meters from the start of a 2 meter long member. After the initial placement of the load, the length of the member shortens past the absolute location of the load. In our example, the member shortens to be 1 meter long.
Recovery:
