- Abstract
- The purpose of this workgroup was to demonstrate, clarify, and discuss the current capabilities and limitations of contemporary plastic hinge-based methods for advanced analysis and design of steel frames. The approach taken was to discuss and comment on whether capabilities of current methods are essential to advanced analysis, beneficial (and under what circumstances), or whether there is insufficient information for immediate application of the capability. Some capabilities were assumed to be beyond the present scope and were not addressed.
