Abstract: This paper discusses the calculations and presents the results of a detailed inelastic design of a three-span continuous plate-girder bridge, using suggested new inelastic design procedures. The characteristics of the ...

Abstract: Two simplified methods for second‐order inelastic analysis of steel frames, termed the modified plastic‐hinge and the beam‐column strength approaches, are presented. These analysis models are comparable to elastic‐plastic‐hinge ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the issues involved in using simplified second‐order inelastic analysis for design of steel‐frame structures. In particular the elastic‐plastic hinge method is examined and the assumptions inherent ...

Abstract: This paper discusses several issues pertinent to the use of advanced analysis for design of two‐dimensional steel‐frame structures. In particular, the accuracy of the elastic‐plastic‐hinge method is examined, and its range ...
