Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Frames
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 109, Issue 2
Abstract
A general formulation for the elastic and inelastic nonlinear analyses of multistory frames is presented. The inelastic analysis includes the effects of residual stresses, strain hardening, gradual penetration of yield through the cross section and the spread of inelastic zones along the member lengths. The technique is illustrated by solving a variety of problems for which alternative results are available.
