Abstract

This paper outlines the background to a variety of parameters that are considered in order to establish their suitability as performance descriptors. This assessment is made in conjunction with data collected from twelve tests on nominally identical beam plastic hinges that were tested using different loading histories. Candidate descriptors are categorised as those that consider displacements and those based on damage. A suite of damage indices is also considered. Preliminary comments are made regarding the response comparison of tests conducted using different loading histories.
