Abstract

Design by inelastic analysis of overall system behaviour is permitted in several steel design specifications worldwide (e.g., the American Specification AISC360-10 and the Australian Specification AS4100-1998). Advanced inelastic analysis is better able to capture the system behavioural characteristics as they currently are understood. This paper presents a case study of the design of three planar steel structures using different design methods, including the Direct Analysis method in AISC360-10, the inelastic design method in AISC360-10, and the inelastic method (“advanced analysis”) in AS4100. The effects of structural ductility (capacity of load redistribution) and failure modes on the design results are discussed.
