Resumen:

Although several studies have been devoted to calibrate damage indices for steel and reinforced concrete members with the purpose of overcoming some of the shortcomings of the parameters currently used during seismic design; there is a challenge to study and calibrate the use of such indices for the practical structural evaluation of complex structures. This paper introduces an energy-based damage model for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) steel framed structures that accounts explicitly for the effects of cumulative plastic deformation demands. The model has been developed by complementing the results obtained from experimental testing of steel members and those derived from analytical studies regarding the height distribution of plastic demands on several steel frames designed according to Mexico City Building Code (MCBC). Through the development of hazard curves, the limitations of the maximum inter-story drift demand as a performance parameter to achieve adequate damage control are discussed. The concept of cyclic drift capacity, which incorporates information of the influence of cumulative plastic deformation demands, is introduced as an alternative for seismic design of structures subjected to long duration ground motions.
