When

an arbitrarydirection,
torsional

to
2-directional

place
in
the

and effects ofbiaxial

appearin
the
elasto-plastic
behavior
ofthe
frame.
As
to
the
analysis of such aframe,
some ofthe
methodsdeveloped
for
the
analysis of a single member under
3-dimensional
loading')
may notbe
directly
applicableto
the
analysis ef ageneral

redundanqy, sincethey
requireprohibitively
large
amount of compllting work.Efforts
have

been
discussed
from

Experimental
work onthe
elasto-plastic
behavior
of3-dimensional
stee]fraines
has
been
reportedin
Refs.3)-5)
and18)-22),
the
Jnost ofthem
using small-scale rnodelframes
subjectedto
the
constant verticalload
andthe
monotonic orthe
cyclichorizontal
load
with or without eccentricity.Effects
ofthe
following
parameters
onthe

areinvestigatecl
:
eccentricity andloading

the
horizontal

slenderness ratio ofthe

ratio, stiffness ratio andstrength

etc.
Recently
the
dynamic

have
been
carriecl'O)Ni2)・k)・23)rr2Si, withtwo
mainpurposes
:
to
clarifythe
difference
between
responsebehavior
of space andplane
frames,
andthe
torsionat
responsebehavior
of spaceframes.
Although
the
numberis
limited,
shakingtable
tests
andtests
by
computer-actuator systemhave
been
carriedout
to
investigate
the'
spaceframe
behavior
underthe
two-directional
ground
motion2g)-3!),
The
behavior
of spaceframes
are affectedby
manyparameters
asdescribed
above,hence
quantitative
conclusion
cannot
be
derived
yet
from
the
resultsof
the
past
investigation,
In
addition,
it
seemsthat
the
theoretical
investigation
is
far
aheadand
the
verificationby
the
experirnental work,particttlarly
the
¢yclic
loading
tests,
is
moreneeded,
From
this
viewpeint,simple
frame
models
consisting
of
four
columns
withrigid
beam-and-roof
system weretested
underthe
constant verticalload
andthe
monotQnic orthe
cyclichorizontal
load
withfairly
large
eccentricity,to
obtain
the
fundamental
knowledge
ofthe
spaceframe
behavior.
This
paper
presents
the
results oftests
together
with
the
results ofthe
theoretical
analysis, anddiscusses
the
restoringforce
characteristics of spaceframes,
putting
the
emphasis onthe
convergence-divergencebehavior.

Model

the
one
usedin

whichis

Assumptions
are asfollows
:
the
roofis
completely rigidin
its
plane,
columnbases
arefixed,
noinitial
imperfections
exist,the
roofplate
does
not rotate about eithery
orz

andthe

and eonstantin

assumptions relatedto

ip

3.2
Column
Stiffness
The
column stiffnessis
obtained,in
general;
by
solving a set of coupleddifferential
equations whichgovern
the
equilibrium of elasto-plastically'deformed column memb6r undeT combinedLoading.
However,
closed-form solution cannotbe
obtained,hence
the
column stiffnessis
evaluatedin
approximate mannerin
the
present
analysis
6f
two
kinds
by
assumingthat
the
differential
equations are not coupled,The
first

generalized
plastic
hinge
method,in
whjchthe
column stiffnessin
the
elastic Tangeis
assumedto
be
given
by
the
stability

for
a member ofdoubly
symrnetrical cross section2), andthe
stiffness of ahinged
memberis
6btained
from'
the
yield
function
andthe
plastic
fiow
rule, asdescribed
in
Ref.
32).
As
to
the
yield

Y,
'
the
following
spheTicalfunction
is
employed:
Y=(NINo)t+(Mle11lfro)!+(My/Mge)l+(MxlMav)!=1・O'-'''''''''''''''-'''-''''''''''''''''''''-''''''''''-'''''''-'''(8)

because

Phenomena,
similarto
those
obseJvedin
the

e.g.,the

onthe

have
been
observedin

The
divergent
behavier
ef specimenNo.4
maybe
due
to
the
non-symmetrical
deflection
of

whichhas
been
investigated
in

These
characteristics
mustbe
relatedto
the

the

left
to
