• Merits:

– Even optimum design is possible
– Consistent with limit state of collapse method
• Short Comings
– Does not account for P‐δ and P‐Δ effects
– Member instability, effect of axial and shear
forces not accounted for in analysis
– Assumes the use of Plastic sections

Second Order Elastic Analysis
Features:
– Second‐order elastic or geometric nonlinear analysis
– Equilibrium in the deformed configuration of the
structure.
– it includes both P‐Δ and P‐δ effects
– Second‐order elastic analysis can account for these and
other elastic stability effects
– Equivalent lateral loads method can be used
Short Comings:
– Does not provide any direct information on the actual
inelastic strength of the frame
– Design based on this analysis, the combined effects of
plasticity and stability must be accounted for in the
equations used for member proportioning.

First Order Elastic Plastic Analysis
• Method:
– Based on an idealized stress‐strain curve that has a constant
slope equal to the elastic modulus up to the yield point and
constant zero slope after this point.
– Geometric nonlinearities are not considered
– elastic plastic‐hinge idealization of the cross‐section
behavior.
– The inelastic behavior is approximated by zero‐length plastic
hinges
– Members are modeled as fully elastic elements between
hinge locations.
– Predicts that the maximum capacity of a frame when a
plastic collapse mechanism is formed.
– The plastic limit load predicted by this type of analysis is the
same as the maximum load estimated by a rigid‐plastic
analysis

Second Order Inelastic Analysis
• Method:
– Considers both stability and plasticity effects
– Not all second‐order inelastic analysis
approaches qualify in general as advanced
analysis.
– Idealization of the members as elastic elements
with zero‐length elastic‐perfectly plastic hinges
– second‐order elastic‐plastic hinge analysis may in
some cases over‐predict the actual inelastic
stiffness and strength of the structure.

• Material nonlinearity
(gradual yielding due to flexure and effects of residual
stresses)
• Geometric nonlinearity
(P‐δ and P‐ Δ effects and geometric imperfection)
• Connection semi‐rigidity and nonlinearity
(nonlinear M‐θ relationships of connections)
• Plate elements of cross sections may buckle locally
ADVANCED ANALYSIS METHODS

ADVANCED ANALYSIS METHODS
• The provisions for advanced analysis in the
Eurocode (EC3, 1991) and the Australian limit
state specifications (AS4100, 1998), IS:800 state
that if all the important planar behavioural
effects are modelled properly in the analysis,
design checks are not required. While the
advanced analysis method considers the
combined effects of plasticity and stability
theories, other methods treat stability and
plasticity separately.
ADVANCED ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES
– Plastic zone or distributed plasticity
– Quasi‐plastic hinge method
– Elastic‐plastic hinge
– Notional‐load plastic hinge method
– Refined or modified plastic hinge method
Spread of plasticity considered in advanced analysis
PLASTIC ZONE METHOD
• 3‐D shell elements
• Beam‐column theory
• Computationally
intensive
• Used as a benchmark
for other methods
ELASTIC‐PLASTIC HINGE METHOD
• Simple and approximate
• Plastic hinge only at critical locations; other portions
elastic
• First order plastic hinge method – geometric
nonlinearity not considered
• Second order plastic hinge method‐ geometric
nonlinearity by stability functions; single member
model
• Good results for frames with slender members
QUASI‐PLASTIC HINGE METHOD
• Special elements for gradual plastification
• Initial yield surface using residual stress
pattern and full plastification surface by
plastic zone solution
• Full plastification equation by curve fit.
• Only 5% error in comparison to plastic zone
solution
NOTIONAL LOAD PLASTIC HINGE METHOD
• Large imperfection value to account for
residual stresses, distributed plasticity, frame
imperfections etc.
• Approach adopted in Euro, Australian and
Canadian standards
• Simple and easy to use in design offices
• Error approximately 10% to 20%
REFINED PLASTIC HINGE METHOD
• Refined elastic‐plastic hinge method
• Section stiffness degradation function –
gradual yielding effect
• CRC tangent modulus – residual stresses and
geometric imperfection
• Rotation springs – connection flexibility
• Best approach for advanced analysis
ADVANTAGES OF ADVANCED ANALYSIS
• Effective design approach for steel frames
• Prediction of limit state strength and stability of
system and members explicitly; hence no
separate capacity checks
• Detailed information on frame behaviour
• Scope for economising in steel use
