Abstract (EN): Seismic design is quickly evolving to the adoption of performance-based procedures focusing largely on deformation control. This requires a good understanding of the nonlinear behaviour of structural components. In the case of steel structures composed by moment-resisting frames, the inelastic behaviour is expected to develop mostly through flexural hinging of the beams and/or through plastic deformation of partial-strength beam-to-column connections. This paper presents a study focused on the development of FE models for reliable representation of the cyclic behaviour of partial-strength bolted steel beam-to-column connections, particularly end-plate connections. The results obtained can be directly applied in the derivation of input parameters used in the direct displacement-based design procedure. Moreover, they can be also employed in the development of cyclic component-based models.
