The deterioration model parameters can be calibrated based on actual experimental data of steel components. Instead, a user can determine the same parameters with predictive equations that have been developed by Lignos and Krawinkler (2009). These equations relate deterioration modelling parameters with geometric and material properties of steel components and have been developed with multivariate regression analysis after extensive calibration of a recently developed steel component database of more than 300 steel specimens (Lignos and Krawinkler 2007, 2009).
