On the flexural performance of steel beams
Tortorelli, Susanna
The well known performances of steel structures in high seismic risk regions are ensured by the attainment of an overall collapse mechanism, that is guaranteed by the ductility and energy dissipation capacities of steel members. In steel MRFs, the key parameters to take under control in order to ensure an overall ductile behaviour are the flexural overstrength and the rotation capacity. With the aim to quantify and predict the flexural capacit...
