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.

The evaluation of second-order effects of steel framed structures can provide different analysis results than using linear analysis methods. In various structural engineering literature were distinguished different methods of analysis: taking or without taking into account second-order effects. It depends on the sensitivity to the horizontal actions. The slenderer the structure, the more sensitive it is to horizontal actions. Using nonlinear methods, the sensitivity of steel frame to second-order impact is considered. This paper shows the importance of evaluations of the second-order effects in behaviour of steel frame structures. Performed investigations reveal the influence of the rotational stiffness of the joints to the behaviour of whole framed structure. Calculation results show that decreased flexibility of the semi-rigid joints increase sensitivity of the framed structure to the second-order effects and vice versa. The identified interdependence between the sensitivity to the second-order effects and the flexibility of the semi-rigid joints highlights the importance of evaluation of such dependencies.

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.

Abstract Damages resulted from earthquakes are a loss in the economic sector. The structure of multi-story buildings needs an earthquake-proof design with higher performance to reduce such losses. By utilizing the metaheuristic algorithm, this study aims to identify the most compatible brace configuration and profile used in a concentrically braced steel frame structures with minimal total weight and that will meet the safety requirements. This algorithm is suitable owing to the fact that it is able to find solutions to any known optimization problem either through Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS), or Differential Evolution (DE). The performance of these algorithms will demonstrated in a form of comparison through a case study of optimizing a 5-span, 6-story steel frame structure. These systems will determine the lightest frame weight, which also correlates to a lower construction cost, without compromising the constraints of SNI 1726:2019, SNI 1727:2020, SNI 1729:2020, and AISC 341-16. Based on the results of data processing, SOS is shown to achieve the highest algorithm performance compared to PSO and DE.

Infill walls consisting of materials such as hollow concrete, hollow clay and autoclaved aerated concrete bricks are not only preferred in reinforced concrete buildings but also in steel frame structures. It is a well-known fact that infill walls limit the displacement of frames under horizontal loads. However, they may also bring about certain problems due to being placed randomly in horizontal and discontinuously in vertical directions for some architectural reasons. Moreover, cracks in frame-wall joints are observed in steel frame structures in which ductile behaving steel and brittle behaving infill walls are used together. In this study, the effect of infill walls on steel frames has been investigated. In the steel frame structure chosen for the study, four different situations consisting of different combinations of infill walls have been modeled by using ETABS Software. Later, the pushover analyses have been performed for all the models and their results have been compared. As a result of the analyses done by using the equivalent diagonal strut model, it has been found out that infill walls limit the displacement of steel frames and increase the performance of a structure. However, it has been also determined that in the steel frame structure in which the infill walls have been placed discontinuously in vertical and asymmetrically in horizontal, infill walls may lead to torsional and soft story irregularities. As a result, it is possible to observe cracks in the joints of infill walls and steel frame, the deformation properties of which differ, unless necessary precautions are taken.

In the last decades, the possibility to use the inelastic capacities of structures have driven the seismic design philosophy to conceive structures with ductile elements, able to obtain large deformations without compromising structural safety. In particular, the utilization of high-strength elements combined with the purpose of reducing inertial masses of the construction has highlighted the second-order effect as a result of the “lightweight” structure’s flexibility. Computational aspects of inclusion of the second-order effects in the structural analysis remain an open issue and the most common method in the current design practices uses the stability coefficient θ. The stability coefficient estimates the ratio between the second-order effect and lateral loads’ effects. This coefficient is used then to amplify the lateral loads’ effects in order to consider the second-order effects, within a certain range proposed by codes of practices. In the present paper, we propose a simple approach, as an alternative to the stability coefficient method, in order to take into consideration P-Delta effects for earthquake-resisting ductile frame structures in the design process. The expected plastic deformations, which can be assessed by the behavior factor and the elastic deformations of the structure, are expected to magnify the P-Delta effects compared to those estimated from an elastic approach. The real internal forces are approximated by modifying the stiffness matrix of the structure in such a way as to provide a compatible amplification effect. This concept is herein implemented with a three-step procedure and illustrated with well-documented case studies from the current literature. The obtained results show that the method, although simple, provides a good approximation compared to more refined and computationally expensive methods. The proposed method seems promising for facilitating the design computations and increasing the accuracy of the internal forces considering the second-order effects and the amplification from the inelastic deformations.
