Abstract: To extend previous research on obtaining designs that rely on a second-order inelastic hinge analysis to demonstrate that a structure is adequate in resisting the effects of factored loads, this paper presents a study of ...

Abstract: A fundamental aim of developing and applying nonlinear analysis is to improve the quality of design by providing the engineer with a more reliable prediction of the performance of a structural system that is under design ...

Abstract: A design study of a three‐dimensional 22‐story frame is presented to demonstrate the use of second‐order inelastic analysis in load and resistance factor design. This study is a follow‐up to a set of low‐rise planar frame ...

Abstract: In conjunction with load and resistance factor design specifications, advanced methods of inelastic analysis afford the opportunity to design steel structures based on realistic assessments of limit state behavior. This ...

Abstract: When designing steel members with nonsymmetric cross sections, it is essential to consider twisting effects when performing stability checks via second-order analysis according to the ANSI/AISC 360-22. Existing line-element ...
