When this volume was first published, plastic theory was the most modern method of structural analysis, and it made possible the direct design of steel frames i

Plastic Design of Steel Frames assesses the current status and future direction of computer-based analyses of inelastic strength and stability for direct frame

This volume covers applications and advanced topics on the theory of plastic design of structures.

The plastic analysis method has been used extensively by engineers for designing steel structures. Simpler structures can be analyzed using the basic virtual wo
