Abstract

A second-order inelastic analysis by combining the theories of stability and plasticity is proposed for studying frames with thin-walled cores. In the proposed approach, steel frameworks surrounding the cores are modelled by using the plastic hinge beam-column approach, and core walls modelled by using the thin-walled beam-column approach. Transformation procedures are proposed to consider the kinematic relationship between beams, columns, core walls and floor diaphragm. Nonlinear solution procedures are incorporated for the incremental analysis. The proposed inelastic analysis is used to investigate the inelastic behaviour and ultimate strength of core-braced frames.
