5. SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF RC COLUMNS EMBEDDING STEEL PROFILES<br />

different in term <strong>of</strong> dissipated energy; this means that only <strong>the</strong> portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> steel<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile in <strong>the</strong> web panel zone behaves in an inelastic range, whereas <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> column behaves elastically, with a little contribution to <strong>the</strong> absorbed<br />

energy. This difference has been summarized in <strong>the</strong> following Table 5.15.<br />
