Abstract
A formulation of the stability problem for tall unbraced
frames, deformed beyond their elastic limit, has been
developed using transfer matrices. A linear incremental
solution procedure allows the monitoring of plastic hinge
formation and the resulting reduction of the member stiffness
until the critical load is located. The most important second
order effects arising from large deformation have been
accounted for. Simple modeling of inelastic behaviour has
been adopted although further refinement of the formulation
at no significant computational cost is indicated. Extensive
application of the developed computer algorithm and
comparison of its predictions with other analytical results
confirms the validity of the proposed method of solution.
