The use of modified amplification factors in assessing in-plane instability of unbraced frame structures

Kemp’s (1999) amplification factor method is tested in its ability to model the nonlinear in-plane behaviour of several unbraced rectangular steel portal frames. The evaluation is by means of comparison to results obtained from physical tests and advanced finite element analyses of the portals. T...
