Deterioration modeling of steel moment resisting frames using finite-length plastic hinge force-based beam-column elements

The use of empirically calibrated moment-rotation models that account for strength and stiffness deterioration of steel frame members is paramount in evaluating the performance of steel structures prone to collapse under seismic loading. These deterioration models are typically used as zero-length s...
