This paper presents a beam formulation for large displacement analysis of beam-type structures with flexible connections. Within the framework of updated Lagrangian incremental formulation and the nonlinear displacement field of thin-walled cross-sections, which accounts for restrained warping and the second-order displacement terms due to large rotations, the equilibrium equations of a straight beam element are firstly developed. Due to the nonlinear displacement field, the geometric potential of semitangential moment is obtained for both the internal torsion and bending moments, respectively. Material nonlinearity is introduced for an elastic-perfectly plastic material through the plastic hinge formation at finite element ends. To account for the flexible connection behaviour, a special transformation procedure is developed. The numerical algorithm is implemented in a computer programme and its reliability is validated trough several test examples.
