Abstract
The probabilistic character of design by advanced analysis due to randomness in structural properties and loads is studied. The study is based on a series of 16 steel frames with random yield strengths and random applied gravity loads. Non-linear structural analysis simulations are performed to calculate distributions of frame and first plastic hinge strengths. It was found that the frames designed by advanced analysis have a smaller mean strength than those designed by load and resistance factor U.S.design (LRFD).
