Numerical implementation and calibration of a hysteretic model with pinching for the cyclic response of steel and composite joints. In ICASS 05.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/4293In 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 steel and composite joints subjected to cyclic loading. Finally, typical parameters for the various joint configurations are proposed.engHysteretic modelCyclic responseconference object
