Lecture

Plastic Hinge Method: Analysis and Design

Description

This lecture covers the plastic hinge method for estimating inelastic deformation capacity in structures subjected to earthquakes. It explains the plastic hinge analysis, moment-curvature relationship, and the estimation of yield and ultimate displacements. The shortcomings of force-based design are discussed, focusing on the challenges related to estimating the fundamental period of buildings and the distribution of forces in hyperstatic systems.
