Abstract This study presents the impact of near-field and far-field earthquakes on seismic design Intermediate Moment Resisting Frame (IMRF) Special (SMRF) structures through FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) P695 methodology to highlight importance probabilistic collapse as well performance factors these structures. The purpose this is investigate steel intermediate special moment res...

Long links on eccentrically braced frames (EBF) have lower performance than short and intermediate links. Failure of long occurs faster that medium due to the influence bending moment, which is more dominant at ends link shear forces. The objective this research improve by delaying failure buckling fracture flange web ends. According AISC 341, cross-sectional capacity outside beam greater link....

Performance-based seismic codes ensure proper inelastic behaviour of reinforced concrete frames through capacity design, among others. This strategy relies not only on avoiding brittle failures and providing ductility to plastic hinges but also in their distribution within the frame aimed at a greater number storeys involved eventual collapse mechanism. Although are generally agreement some bas...

Concentrically braced frames (CBFs), designed using the conventional linear elastic method without seismic proportioning and detailing requirements, are referred to as Conventional CBFs (CCBFs) in this study. They widely used moderate low areas North America due ease of design economy. Without a code specified dedicated fuse member dissipate earthquake induced energy, or prescribed yield/failur...

Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) is a performence-based seismic design method that has been proposed and well developed over the past two decades to design RC frame structures, shear walls and bridges. In this method, the behavior of a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) sysytem is approximaeted by an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) substitute structure. Although this method has be...

This paper proposes a macro-model for simulating the hysteretic behavior of composite-steel beams as part fully restrained beam-to-column connections in moment-resisting frames (MRFs). Comparisons with experimental data suggest that proposed model captures asymmetric response including cyclic deterioration strength and stiffness. Moreover, primary slab-column force transfer mechanisms predicts ...
