![]() The fundamental aspects and principles of the GCM-FE analysis approach are established in this paper, including the framework of GCM-FE analysis, the constitutive models for the connection components and the implementation of GCM-FE analysis in commercial numerical software including an automatic modelling technique. The new analysis approach is termed Generalised Component Method-based finite-element (GCM-FE) analysis. This paper presents a new analysis approach that incorporates macro-element joint models based on the Generalised Component Method in the FE analysis of steel frame buildings. However, to date, no attempt has been made towards considering the failure of joints in the structural analysis, without which the complete set of limit states cannot be accurately predicted. ![]() The design-by-analysis approach lays the foundation for the next generation of structural design standards in which the strength and structural safety check are performed in a single step at system level, without recourse to a structural standard for individual member checks.
