The purpose of the study in this paper is to establish analytical approaches by which the failure behaviors of the locally thin-walled piping can be simulated well against seismic loading. The summary of results obtained through the present study is as follows. Fully three dimensional elasto-plastic analyses have been carried out for the locally thin-walled piping by using ABAQUS. It has been found that the ratcheting behavior observed in the experiment can be simulated well through the finite element analysis.
