Abstract (EN): Excessive deformations of steel panel zones can result in damage of other connection components as observed during the 1994 Northridge earthquake. As a result of several experimental campaigns, a new design approach has been recently proposed in FEMA 350 aiming at the achievement of balanced panel zones that contribute in a moderate way to the energy dissipation of a structural system during a seismic event. However, it has been recently reported that the application of the aforementioned design approach to new structures is not necessarily reflected in a reliable participation of the panel zones to the inelastic response. This paper presents a parametric study on steel moment frames with the aim to investigate the impact of different design approaches for panel zones on the local and global inelastic response.
