Covers the sizing procedure for structural elements and the relationship between moment and curvature in deformed structures, using examples of three-hinged gantry cranes.
Explains the plastic hinge method for estimating inelastic deformation capacity in structural elements, focusing on flexural deformations and providing good approximations.
Explores the nonlinear analysis of structures, covering stiffness formulations, typical behavior under loading, and empirical equations for steel and concrete components.
