B. If an element was shown to fail, redistribute the element's loads per
Section 3-2.4.3.
C. Restart the analysis from the point in the load history at which the element
or connection failed and the model was modified. Continue the analysis
until the structural model stabilizes or until another element or connection
violates the acceptability criteria.
D. For each time at which the analysis is halted due to violation of an element
acceptability criteria, check the damage limits. If the damage limits are
violated, stop the analysis and re-design and re-analyze the structure,
starting with Step 1.
E. If the damage limits are not violated and the structural model stabilizes,
the design is adequate. If the damage limits are not violated but one of
the acceptability criteria was violated in the re-started analysis, repeat this
process (Steps A through E) until the structure reaches a stable condition
or the damage limits are violated.
