Abstract: In this paper, a hysteretic model with pinching is presented that is able to reproduce realistically the cyclic response of generic steel joints. Secondly, the computer implementation and adaptation of the model in a spring element within the computer code SeismoStruct is described. The model is subsequently calibrated using a series of experimental test results for steel joints subjected to cyclic loading. Finally, typical parameters for the various joint configurations are proposed.
