Steel benchmark frames for structural analysis and validation studies: Finite element models and numerical simulation data

A sample of twenty-two steel benchmark frames was formed and used to investigate the accuracy of a single increment predictor-corrector (SIPC) solution scheme; an approximate method of second-order elastic analysis. Each of the frames is based on a structure from the literature and, as a collection,...

description A sample of twenty-two steel benchmark frames was formed and used to investigate the accuracy of a single increment predictor-corrector (SIPC) solution scheme; an approximate method of second-order elastic analysis.
