program the composite beam-column connection is subjected to
cyclic loading with displacement reversals and the test was con-
ducted in accordance with the representation in Figure 5.
The test results were used to calibrate the numerical model. Some
important parameters were varied in the numerical model in order
3. Experimental program
The experimental program developed for this paper was performed
at the Laboratory of Structures in Department of Structural En-
