Plastic analysis of steel frame with rigid and semi rigid connection

Fully plastic condition is defined as one at which a sufficient number of plastic hinges are formed to transform the structure into a mechanism,then the structure is geometrically unstable. On the other hand the actual behavior of beam to column connections in steel frames is seldom fully rigid or f...

Civil engineering (General) Fully plastic condition is defined as one at which a sufficient number of plastic hinges are formed to transform the structure into a mechanism,then the structure is geometrically unstable.
