Abstract

According to the progress of the structural design concepts, it is requested in the design codes to check on the nonlinear structural behaviors beyond the elastic limit of material and to preserve the safety of structure from the damages in the elastic-plastic range. Therefore, the establishment of optimum design methods for structures which are subjected to elastic-plastic nonlinear behaviors is very fundamental and important subject to design it rationally.
