Abstract

This paper presents a summary of two year long comprehensive parametric study of the impact of various deterioration characteristics on seismic response of moment resisting steel structures. More than 14,000 nonlinear analyses were performed utilizing more than 500 earthquake time histories. The results indicate that various hysteretic deterioration types affect seismic demand characteristics differently. Three types of hysteretic deterioration were considered: stiffness, slip or pinching, and strength degradations.
