Abstract

Offers guidance for creating computer models for steel structures with orthodox details and connections. It highlights the importance of a qualitative understanding of structural response both during the creation and appraisal of the analysis output. Gives details of the elastic, plastic and elastic-plastic analysis of two and three dimensional frames, looks at the modelling of simple beams and column frames, trusses and lattice girders, portal frames, curved, tapered and non homogeneous members connections, supports and loads.
