## Abstract In the paper a simplified nonlinear method has been applied to the analysis of baseβisolated structures. In the first part, a threeβlinear idealization of the capacity curve is proposed. The initial stiffness is defined based on the first yielding point in the superstructure, whereas th

This paper presents a method for a quick evaluation of stresses and displacements in a plate structure for elastostatic problems. First, an approximation is built from the mathematical structure of the solutions for starshaped domains, which is representative of long wavelength effects. Second, a va
## Abstract A modified force analogy method (MFAM) is developed to simulate the nonlinear inelastic response of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Beamβcolumn elements with three different plastic mechanisms are utilized to simulate inelastic response caused by moment and shear force. A multiβlin
A general matrix formulation and mathematical programming techniques are used for the analysis of arch bridge structures in the inelastic range. Discretization of the structural model and of the constitutive laws of the material enables the solution of a number of engineering problems by a unified c
