Simplified fiber beam-column model for inelastic analysis of moment-resisting steel frames

Conventional fiber beam-column models require monitoring the responses of many sections along the element length to account for the speared of inelasticity. Recently, a simplified approach that utilizes predefined flexibility-distribution functions to account for the spreading of inelasticity along...
