As IS 800:1984 has changed recommend actions from working stress to limit state design in year 2007, this required change in analysis from elastic to inelastic. Present commercial software’s are not incorporating inelastic analysis i.e. plastic analysis. Hence the use of limit state design has been declined by structural designer. In this project study review of different methods of analysis of steel frame is made.
