The design action effects for design basis earthquake loads is obtained by _____________(a) Elastic Analysis(b) Plastic Analysis(c) Advanced Analysis(d) Dynamic AnalysisThe question was posed to me in semester exam.I'm obligated to ask this question of Methods and Assumptions of Analysis topic in division Structural Analysis, Loading and Load Combinations of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Right answer is (a) Elastic Analysis

To explain I WOULD SAY: The design action effects for design basis earthquake loads is OBTAINED by elastic analysis. The maximum credible earthquake load can be ASSUMED to correspond to load at which significant plastic hinges are FORMED and shall be obtained by plastic analysis.
