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

Set <strong>of</strong> elements<br />

Global deformed<br />

configuration<br />

Imposed top displacement: 10ey<br />

In fact, as depicted in Figure 5.42, by means <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elaboration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> values <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

strain gauges positioned in <strong>the</strong> flange <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> steel pr<strong>of</strong>ile it is possible to evidence<br />

that <strong>the</strong> deformation in <strong>the</strong> zone <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stiffeners is greater than that along <strong>the</strong><br />

flange. High plastic deformations, intended as local plastic hinges, are well<br />

localised in <strong>the</strong>se points where part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> shear forces are transmitted.<br />
