Figure 4. Comparison of two slender systems (differing only in F
S
) subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading:
(a)
deformed mesh with plastic strain
contours at ultimate state;
(b)
dimensionless monotonic moment–rotation response;
(c)
cyclic moment–rotation response; and
(d)
cyclic settlement–
rotation response (the grey line corresponds to the monotonic backbone curves).
