Elasto-plastic and post-buckling analysis was performed to trace the cyclic behavior of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) beam-columns, which had been tested previously. Analytical model to solve the deflections of the beam-column was divided into a number of elements, and the solution satisfying the equilibrium at each subdivision point was searched by the proposed way of combining the degrading type moment-curvature relation with the numerical integration scheme. The effect of local buckling of steel tube was taken into account by employing the degrading type of stress-strain relation. The paper first presents how to handle the deflection analysis of a member whose moment-curvature relation possesses the descending part, which is not possible by the conventional numerical integration, and discusses the accuracy of the solution compared with the test results.
