Abstract
The asymptotic matching analysis in the preceding Part I has established a new kind of size effect, caused by postpeak softening of inelastic hinges in beams and frames. The present Part II analyzes various implications, particularly the size effects on the maximum loads under load control or displacement control, the design loads, and the energy absorption of the structure.
