- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of finite-element (FE) models, such as yield-line analysis (YLA) in the design of flat-plate structures to prevent building collapse. It says that YLA is a plastic method that allows the designer to understand the potential failure mechanisms of a structure and requires computational effort that can be done using a calculator or spreadsheet. It discusses the practical steps for YLA, such as the removal of one or more columns and calculation of internal energy.
