To design steel structures more efficiently, it is necessary to appropriately evaluate the earthquake resistance performance of steel structures. In this study, we conducted cyclic loading tests of steel column members and steel frame pier models. Based on the test results, we investigated a quantitative evaluation method of steel members load carrying capacity and ductility and their hysteresis property. In addition, we investigated a method for evaluating earthquake resistance performance of steel rigid frame piers by using a simple analytical model.
