Siu-Lai Chan, Pui-Tak Chui ... This book is devoted to the discussion and studies of simple and
efficient numerical procedures for large deflection and elasto-plastic
analysis of steel frames under static and dynamic loading. In
chapter 1, the basic fundamental behaviour and philosophy for design of
structural steel is discussed, emphasising different modes of buckling
and the inter-relationship between different types of analysis. In
addition to this, different levels of refinement for non-linear analysis
are described. An introduction is also given to the well-known
P-&dgr; and P-&Dgr; effects. Chapter 2 presents the basic matrix
method of analysis and gives several examples of linear analysis of
semi-rigid pointed frames. It is evident from this that one must have a
good understanding of first-order linear analysis before handling a
second-order non-linear analysis. In chapter 3, the linearized
bifurcation and second-order large deflection are compared and the
detailed procedure for a second-order analysis based on the
Newton-Raphson scheme is described. Chapter 4 introduces various
solution schemes for tracing of post-buckling equilibrium paths and the
Minimum Residual Displacement control method with arc-length load step
control is employed for the post-buckling analysis of two and three
dimensional structures. Chapter 5 addresses the non-linear behaviour and
modelling of semi-rigid connections while several numerical functions
for description of moment versus rotation curves of typical connection
types are introduced. The scope of the work in chapter 6 covers
semi-rigid connections and material yielding to the static analysis of
steel frames. Chapter 7 studies the cyclic response of steel frames with
semi-rigid joints and elastic material characteristics. In the last
chapter the combined effects of semi-rigid connections and plastic
hinges on steel frames under time-dependent loads are studied using a
simple springs-in-series model. For computational effectiveness and
efficiency, the concentrated plastic hinge concept is used throughout
these studies.
