Introduction
The plastic method usually results in a more economical design, especially for structures with high degree of indeterminacy. The first structure designed plastically in the U.S. was in 1957. Examples are .......
Introduction
Compression
Mp = Ms
Plastic neutral axis
curvature
When the bending moment at a section reaches its plastic moment Mp (= Ms), the section behaves like a hinge. This section is called a plastic hinge (within a very small length). As load increases, more plastic hinges occur until the structure collapses. For design, Design load = Collapse load.
Collapse load Load Collapse Elastic-plastic state (reserve strength)
Elastic state
Elastic design: the first plastic hinge should occur at or above the design load level Plastic design: the last plastic hinge should occur at or above the design load level

Stage 1: For P = 100 kN, MA = 3PL/16 = 225 kNm, MB = 5PL/32 = 187.5 kNm For A, A = 270/225 = 1.2 For B, B = 270/187.5 = 1.44 Total MA = 1.2x225 = 270 kNm, Total MB = 1.2x187.5 = 225 kNm.

Stage 2: For P = 100 kN, MA = 0, MB = PL/4 = 300 kNm For B, remaining plastic moment capacity = 270-225 = 45kNm load factor 2 = 45/300 = 0.15, Total MA = 270 kNm, Total MB = 225 + 0.15x300 = 270 kNm.

Perform a linear analysis by computer for the structure subject to original loading. Scale the loading and calculate the load factor for each member; the smallest is the critical cr. Calculate the residual plastic moments for all other sections. Insert hinge at the section with cr and repeat the above (1) to (4) until collapse. Theory: Determinant of [K] = 0. When using computer: Run time error due to zero determinant, or dramatic increase in displacements. Collapse load = design load X cr .
