Hello everyone
I Have Steel Frame with A992 Material(USA Steel Material).
Fy = 50(ksi,in)
Fu = 65(ksi,in)
How can i get Strain hardening parameter and Fracture/buckling strain in Bilinear steel model and also correct sample plot?[:I]

Hi
strain hardenineg parameter as indicate in help
Esp=(fult-fy)/(eult-fy/Es)
where fult and eult represent the ultimate or maximum stress and strain capacity of the material, respectively. Its value commonly ranges from 0.005 to 0.015. The default value is 0.005.
Please see the help manual carefully.

Hi
Do you know anybody ultimate or maximum strain of the ASTM A992 material??[:I]

Around 18%. Check for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASTM_A992
For design purposes obviously it has to be significantly reduced.
