State-of-the-art of advanced inelastic analysis of steel and composite structures

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper provides a state-of-the-art review on advanced analysis models for investigating the

load-displacement and ultimate load behaviour of steel and composite frames subjected to static gravity and

lateral loads. Various inelastic analysis models for steel and composite members are reviewed. Composite

beams under positive and negative moments are analysed using a moment-curvature relationship which

captures the effects of concrete cracking and steel yielding along the members length. Beam-to-column

connections are modeled using rotational spring. Building core walls are modeled using thin-walled element.

Finally, the nonlinear behaviour of a complete multi-storey building frame consisting of a centre core-wall and

the perimeter frames for lateral-load resistance is investigated. The performance of the total building system is

evaluated in term of its serviceability and ultimate limit states.
