Total axial force in the physical member.

You do NOT need to add the axial forces in each segment to get the total axial force in the physical member. Rather to get the axial force at any location within the physical member, consider the axial force in the corresponding analytical member at the appropriate location. For example let us assume a single physical column member which had to be split into 3 segments for some reason. To get the axial force at the base of the physical column, you would just look at the axial force at the base of the bottommost analytical member.
