About this document
Minimum-Weight Design of Frames by Jorge is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a 1954 paper by J. Foulkes on the minimum-weight design of structural frames. It introduces the concept of plastic collapse theory for analyzing structural frame strength. It describes using bending moment distributions, mechanisms of collapse, and equations of equilibrium and yield to determine the load factor at which a frame will collapse. It then discusses using virtual work equations and inequalities to systematically analyze collapse mechanisms and find the minimum weight desi
