Abstract:
Among his many achievements, Professor Wight’s observation and explanation of the irrelevance of the linear-plastic model for the moment-curvature relationship of a structural element subjected to a moment gradient (rather than constant moment) along its span stands out as one of his best contributions and one that will stand the test of time.
