- The inelastic behaviour of structures strongly depends on the type of earthquake excitation. Moreover the ductility, both the local and global one, as well as the associated strength is depending on the loading history and the rate of loading. The engineering community, starting from the San Fernando earthquake, USA 1971, the Michoacan seismic event, Mexico City, 1985, and further to the Northridge, 1994, USA, and Kobe, 1995, Japan, earthquakes, well recognized and classified the differences between the far source and near source seismic excitations. This paper, through a review of existing literature, is focused upon the effect of both the different loading history and the loading rate on the capacity of steel members. It attempts to provide information in order to reconsider the way of approaching the prediction of the inelastic capacity of steel members.
