APPLICATION OF HYSTERESIS ENVELOPE MODEL TO STEEL BEAM-TO-COLUMN BOLTED JOINT

Abstract

The paper demonstrates the applications of the hysteresis envelope model on the example of a double extended end plate beam-to-column bolted joint. The hysteresis envelope model represents a new analytical trilinear model that can describe the cyclic behaviour of joints in a moment-resisting steel frame and is suitable for nonlinear static pushover analysis.
