Model 1895 presents the use of nonlinear supports in a steel frame. It is shown that supports that contribute to load transfer only in compression or tension can be defined individually. The approach to the correct selection of the nonlinearity precisely models the failure in tension or compression. The illustration makes it easier to understand how to adapt the support properties to specific load cases. This model provides practical instructions for optimizing load transfer.
