Numerical Implementation and Calibration of a Hysteretic Model for Cyclic Response of End-Plate Beam-to-Column Steel Joints under Arbitrary Cyclic Loading

摘要

This work presents the implementation and calibration of Modified Richard-Abbott model for cyclic response of four end-plate beam-to-column steel joints under arbitrary cyclic loading. The joints parameters are found and the comparison between the analytical hysteretic results and the experimental hysteretic results is made, as well as the hysteretic energy dissipated evaluated for each cycle and obtained for both type of analyses.
