Steel benchmark frames for structural analysis and validation studies: Finite element models and numerical simulation data.

ABSTRACT: A sample of twenty-two steel benchmark frames was formed and used to investigate the accuracy of a single increment predictor-corrector (SIPC) solution scheme; an approximate method of second-order elastic analysis. Each of the frames is based on a structure from the literature and, as a collection, the set includes a diverse assortment of practical planar geometries and a wide range of sensitivities to second-order effects. This data article presents the details of these frames, including finite element models, relevant nodal coordinates and element connectivity, and detailed information regarding member sizes, support conditions, and applied loading. In addition, this article presents simulation data obtained from testing the SIPC method using the benchmark frames, and assessing its accu
