A second-order inelastic analysis of semirigid connection steel frame structures is developed. Therein, shearing deformation and axial force simultaneously are considered. A new stability function considered shearing deformation and axial force simultaneously is proposed and the analysis methods for steel structure of semirigid connection based on the structural ultimate bearing capacity are established. The calculatical programe of second-order inelastic analysis semirigid connection steel frame structures is compiled. The numerical examples of steel frames for semirigid connection are analysed using the second-order inelastic analysis in the paper. Load–displacements predicted by the proposed analysis compare well with those given by other approaches. The analysis results show that the proposed method is suitable for adoption in practice.

The aim of the work is to present the trend of the advancement of steel design code and practical approach of steel frame design from the current AISC-LFDR to the advanced analysis. As the trend of steel frame analysis method is from first-order elastic analysis to second-order inelastic analysis which is an advanced analysis. Methods. In this paper the comparison between the load - displacement curves of several structural analysis methods is presented. Case studies are considered to analyze by different methods and comparison of practical advanced analysis method with PROKON software. The case studies includes a two-story one bay steel frame and four bays of twelve-stories steel frame. The results of first-order elastic, elastic buckling, second-order and nonlinear analyses of an unbraced frame are compared and their difference is presents. The proposed software for advanced methods demonstrates the accuracy and the computational efficiency in predicting the nonlinear analysis response of steel frame structures.

This paper presents the importance of the second-order effects in behaviour of steel frame structures. EN 1993-1-1 were distinguished three main methods: taking / without taking into account second order effects depending on the sensitivity of horizontal design effects and tolerance. Using these methods, the susceptibility of steel frame structures to second-order impacts is considered in accordance with EN 1993-1-1. The study was performed taking into account also the rotational stiffness of the joints of the frame structure. In this way, trying to determine the effect of the joint on the rotational rigidity makes the frame structure more sensitive to second order impacts. It is also considered a semi-rigid joints effects the general frame-tailed P-Δ and the second row stress. This establishes the link between the effects of the second-order and the semi-rigid joints in the overall (general) analysis. Frame-building sensitivity makes it possible to compare and measure the importance of such dependencies.

Considering the nonlinear behaviors of semi-rigid connections, a new calculation model for the second order elastic-plastic analysis of plane steel structures is presented by replacing the general element with a new one, which has two rotational springs at its ends. Based on the theory of beam-to-column, the element’s rotation-displacement equations are revised, and the second order elastic-plastic rigidity matrix of this kind of structure is derived in this paper. And the second order elastic-plastic program of this kind of structure is worked out. Two steel frames are calculated with this program. The results of calculations show that this model is reliable and fit to the analysis of all plane steel structures.
