Popis: In this paper, a nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis of high-performance hybrid system (HPHS) beam-column connections is presented. The detailed experimental results of the ten half-scale hybrid connections with limited seismic detailing have been discussed in a different paper. However, due to the inherent complexity of HPHS beam-column joints and the unique features of the tested specimens, the experimental study was not comprehensive enough. The new connection (HPHS) detail suggested in this study is characterized by ductile connection, steel connectors, and engineered cementitious composite (ECC) which is a kind of high-performance fiber reinforced cement composite with multiple fine cracks (HPFRCCs). Therefore, in this paper, FE analysis results are compared with experimental results from the cycle tests of the two specimens (RC and PC) to assess model accuracy, and detailed model descriptions are presented, including the determination of stiffness and strength. The critical parameters influencing the joint’s behavior are the axial load on column, beam connection steel plate length, inner bolt stress contribution, and plastic hinge area.
