Design guide for steel frames using advanced analysis program
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to provide a design guide of the LRFD based advanced analysis method for practical frame design. To this end, the step-by-step analysis and design procedures for the practical advanced analysis method are presented. The proposed advanced analysis program and input data format are discussed. Case studies are drawn to show the detailed design procedures of the practical advanced analysis method. The case studies cover a two-bay frame and a four-story, five-bay frame. Member sizes determined by the advanced analysis procedures are compared with those determined by the LRFD procedure, and a good agreement is generally observed. The advanced methods achieve the LRFD design requirements without tedious separate member capacity checks, including K-factor calculation. The methods are practical and therefore recommended for general use. 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for RC frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed N2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. A preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...
متن کاملAdvanced Analysis of Steel Frames Using Parallel Processing and Vectorization
Advanced methods of analysis have shown promise in providing economical building structures through accurate evaluation of inelastic structural response. One method of advanced analysis is the plastic zone (distributed plasticity) method. Plastic zone analysis often has been deemed impractical due to computational expense. The purpose of this article is to illustrate applications of plastic zon...
متن کاملStatic and dynamic nonlinear analysis of steel frame with semi-rigid connections
One of the important issues in the study of steel frames is to find a suitable formulation for semi-rigid connections. In this paper, the explicit stiffness matrix for a two-dimensional beam-column element having end-flexibilities is derived. The effects of the lateral uniformly distributed load on the deflection are considered. Both tensile and compressive axial loads are also taken into accou...
متن کاملInfluence of Sudden Column Loss on Dynamic Response of Steel Moment Frames under Blast Loading
Modeling buildings response to blast and subsequent progressive collapse interested more and more researchers during the past two decades. Due to the threat from extreme loading, efforts have been made to develop methods of structural analysis and design. In this paper, progressive collapse capacity of steel moment frames was first investigated using alternate load path method, then a nonlinear...
