Abstract

The analysis of steel constructions for their seismic design is commonly based on structural models including just the main frame members and relevant connections, while cladding pan-els are considered only in evaluating the seismic mass. Exceptions to this common approach can be found in a few studies available in the literature. A recent contribution was presented on the cladding damage under seismic input, as well as on the role of cladding panels in the overall seismic response of single-storey steel buildings. The results pointed out that clad-dings might have an important role on seismic response and should not be neglected in a re-fined finite element model. Starting from the available previous studies, the current work contributes in terms of both methodology and results. Regarding the methodology, a multi-criteria approach adopted for evaluating damage to cladding panels is reviewed and its ap-plicability is discussed based on the results of a probabilistic study performed via multiple-stripe analyses. Regarding the results, a case study designed according to the Eurocodes and the recent 2018 Italian National Building Code is analysed with the aim of investigating the influence of cladding panels with non-symmetric plan distributions, which introduce torsional effects even if the structural elements have a symmetric configuration.
