Abstract(s)
Composite joints, considering the composite action of steel and concrete, exhibit, in general, high
strength and high ductility. As a consequence, the use of this type of joint has been increasing in many
countries, especially in those that are located in earthquake-prone regions. In this paper, a hysteretic model
with pinching is presented that is able to reproduce the cyclic response of steel and composite joints. Secondly,
the computer implementation and adaptation of the model in a spring element within the computer code
Seismosoft is described. The model is subsequently calibrated using a series of experimental test results for
composite joints subjected to cyclic loading. Finally, typical parameters for the various joint configurations
are proposed.
