Inelastic second-order analysis of steel columns under minor-axis bending by Gilney Afonso Gonçalves, Ricardo Azoubel da Mota Silveira, Andréa Regina Dias da Silva, Jéssica Lorrany Silva

“…A tangent modulus approach is employed in order to consider the stiffness degradation in function of the internal forces' variation, and the second-order effects, residual stresses and geometric imperfections are considered in the modeling of column behavior. As a criterium for defining the ultimate limit state of the column cross-section, strength surfaces are adopted. …”
