Fundamental Examinations on Hysteresis Models of Steel Members Used in Response Analysis

Abstract eng:
With the development of computer and numerical method, different mechanical as well as hysteresis models are applied in time history analysis, which is gaining popularity in recent response prediction of steel structures. Nevertheless, accurate simulations for steel members’ hysteresis characteristics used in response analysis are still under discussion. In order to figure out hysteresis models with sufficient accuracy which can be used to achieve hysteresis loops of steel members in earthquake resistance design, analytic response were compared to the results of a full-scale shaking table test of a steel beam-to-column connection. Basic single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems with bi-linear models as well as multi-linear elasto-plastic models considering Bauschinger effect were considered in the response analysis. Models with their parameters that matched the experimental results well were pointed out.
