Seismic performance assessment of steel reinforced concrete members accounting for double pivot stiffness degradation
Jia-Lin Juang and Hsieh-Lung Hsu

 
Abstract
    This paper presents an effective hysteretic model for the prediction and evaluation of steel reinforced concrete member seismic performance. This model adopts the load-deformation relationship acquired from monotonic load tests and incorporates the double-pivot behavior of composite members subjected to cyclic loads. Deterioration in member stiffness was accounted in the analytical model. The composite member performance assessment control parameters were calibrated from the test results. Comparisons between the cyclic load test results and analytical model validated the proposed method?s effectiveness.
