DUCTILITY AND LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY PREDICTION OF STEEL BEAM-TO-COLUMN CONNECTIONS UNDER CYCLIC REVERSAL LOADING
The economy and reliability of steel-framed buildings in seismic areas depend basically on the hysteretic behaviour of its individual components, such as members and joints. With reference to the latter, despite the recent semi-continuous frame approach (which appears generally very convenient for the design of low- and medium-rise steel buildings), the present state of knowledge does not allow for a complete understanding of the behaviour and the low-cycle fatigue life of beam-to-column connections under dynamic loads. This paper presents a criterion for the definition of the low-cycle fatigue strength of steel connections, and proposes two approaches for the design of steel frames in seismic zones via the assessment of the fatigue damage, which is evaluated alternatively on the basis of either the ductility or of the load carrying capacity.
