when is a shakedown analysis required?
(OP)
When is a shakedown analysis required? i.e. when do we need to analyze a structure to its ultimate failure mechanism?
I hear shakedown analysis mentioned fairly frequently, but it has never been explained to me when this is actually required. My work is primarily on commercial buildings in a non-seimic zone and I have never heard of such refined analysis used.
Are there some industrial applications where it is necessary? Or it is needed for some seismic applications? I am curious to hear from anyone with experience in performing limit analysis. Thanks.
