In a steel structure building, it is easy to theoretically elucidate the behavior of each member, but it is difficult to evaluate the stiffness and strength at joints. Above all, in the joint where a gusset plate is attached diagonally to the frame and the dampers are connected, beams, columns, and gusset plates influence each other and show complicated behavior. In this study, a bare steel beam with gusset plate is reproduced with a simple model consisting of a rigid zone and a beam element. Furthermore, the rigid zone length and the plastic hinge formation position are shown.
