Second-order plastic-hinge analysis of space semi-rigid steel frames
Abstract This paper presents a numerical procedure based on the beam–column method for nonlinear static analysis of space semi-rigid steel frames. The second-order effects are considered by the use of stability functions obtained from the exact solution of beam–columns under end forces and the inelastic behavior of material are presented by the lumped inelastic concept using yield surface. An independent zero-length element comprising of six translational and rotational springs, of which rotational spring stiffness uses the Kishi–Chen power model, is used to simulate the rigidity of the steel beam-to-column connection. The generalized displacement control method is applied to solve the nonlinear equilibrium equations in an incremental–iterative scheme. The nonlinear response results are compared with those of existing studies to verify the accuracy of the proposed numerical procedure.
Highlights ► An efficient analysis procedure of space semi-rigid steel frames is proposed. ► Plastic hinges and stability functions are employed for modeling nonlinear effects. ► Beam-to-column connection is modeled by zero-length independent nonlinear springs. ► Proposed procedure proves to be a reliable tool for daily use in practical design.
