Appendix 1 Design by advanced analysis

This appendix permits the use of advanced methods of structural analysis to directly model system and member imperfections, and/or allow for the redistribution of member and connection forces and moments as a result of localized yielding.

The appendix is organized as follows:

• 1.1 General Requirements
• 1.2 Design by Elastic Analysis
• 1.3 Design by Inelastic Analysis
