## Abstract The effectiveness of hysteretic passive devices to protect and mitigate the response of a structure under seismic loading is well established by both analytical and experimental research. Nevertheless, a systematic and wellβestablished methodology for the topological distribution and si

## Abstract A procedure for treating the __P__β Ξ effect in the direct displacementβbased seismic design of regular steel moment resisting frames with ideal elastoplastic material behaviour is proposed. A simple formula for the yield displacement amplification factor as a function of ductility and
This study introduced and evaluated two stability coefficients that can be used to quantify the P-β effect during elastic and inelastic lateral displacement of regular steel moment resisting frames (SMRF). The first coefficient, applicable during elastic lateral displacement, was developed through a
With the aim of providing a tool for the comprehensive seismic analysis of steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), the paper presents the development of a structural model which is able to describe the deformation modes of the panel zone in beam-tocolumns joints, without resorting to a computationally
During a severe earthquake, steel moment resisting frames are expected to experience significant inelastic deformation in their members and joints. This behaviour is dependent upon several design parameters such as member sizes, frame's overstrength, member deformation capacities and the detailing o
