    A tangent stiffness matrix of a frame member has been formulated and used in previous papers for the nonlinear analysis of frameworks. However that formulation gives rise to indeterminate forms of the type 0/0 when the axial force in the member vanishes. The evaluation of the expressions in the limit and for vanishingly small values of the axial force is provided in the present paper.
