Title

Spread-Plastic Member Models For Inelastic Analysis Of Structures

Abstract

The modeling of spread plasticity formulations for structural members and its application in inelastic structural analysis is examined. Three primary and practical approaches to stiffness formulation using distributed flexibility are explored in this study with a view to assessing their suitability in nonlinear analysis of structures. The member models are developed from considerations of plastic hinge-length and moment variation across the element. The models are applied to the analysis of a model frame subjected to both static and dynamic loads. A discussion of the implications, both practical and numerical, of using each of the models in inelastic structural analysis is also included.
