Abstract:

Several current approaches are outlined that account for the spreading of plasticity in a second-order inelastic analysis of frames. The approaches are based on modifications to the simple plastic-hinge method and allow for a smooth transition in stiffness from initial yielding to the full yielding of the cross-section. The results show a closer representation of the actual structural response than obtained by conventional plastic-hinge analysis.
