This book was released on 2011 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the design of steel frame structures, AISC outlines approaches of second-order analysis. In this study, two of these approaches are considered: Amplified First-Order Analysis Method and Direct Analysis Method. The methods were studied using SAP2000. Amplification of moments in a two-story plane frame subject to a wind load case is computed using both methods and shown to be of comparable magnitude for small deformations. ASCE/SEI 7 and IBC provisions were used to develop lateral design load conditions for the frames. In this study, a hypothetical building was assumed to be constructed in four different locations (Southaven, Batesville, Jackson and Gulfport) in Mississippi capturing a range of relative importance for these two hazards. For a three-story moment resisting frame building, second-order effects were developed for each column using the Amplified First Order Analysis Method. Interaction ratios were then used as the basis for establishing capacity of each column and thus critical members and dominant hazard at a particular location. As expected, Southaven and Batesville are shown to be dominated by the earthquake hazard and Gulfport by the wind hazard. Jackson is roughly equally influenced by both hazards. Jackson may thus be considered a boundary for dividing the state into seismic dominated versus wind dominated zones. This evaluation may give insight to building designers in preliminary design.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) in seismic regions are designed to concentrate yielding in beams to dissipate the energy released by earthquakes. However, capacity design procedures in North American code provisions (CSA 2009; AISC 2010a) do not systematically prevent plastic deformations from occurring in columns. Under ground motions with a low probability of occurrence, steel columns as part of MRFs may develop plastic hinges which can lead to undesirable frame mechanisms. Due to a limited set of test data, the current modelling guidelines (PEER/ATC 2010; ASCE 2014) provide little guidance and often employ highly conservative component models for nonlinear modelling of steel columns. Thus, ASCE 41-13 (ASCE 2014) considers that a column possesses no plastic rotation capacity when the compressive axial load demands become larger than 50% of the critical load associated with the member. Hence, the seismic behaviour of steel columns needs to be characterized experimentally, in particular for high axial load and lateral drift demands. High axial load demands on columns are common in existing steel frame buildings due to gravity and can be increased by vertical accelerations and/or dynamic overturning effects in the case of end columns. This thesis intends to advance the state of knowledge on the hysteretic behaviour of steel columns with a large-scale testing program. Twelve column specimens utilizing W14 and W16 cross-sections that are typically used in steel MRFs are subjected to diverse axial and lateral loading sequences. Monotonic, symmetric and collapse-consistent loading histories are employed to push the columns far into the inelastic range and to assess their performance until collapse (i.e., point of loss of axial load carrying capacity). The transient effect on end columns within MRFs is also studied. Test results provide unique experimental data characterizing the cyclic behaviour of steel columns through the loss of their axial load carrying capacity. The effect of the local slenderness, the cross-section depth, the applied axial load ratio, the loading history and the steel material on the column performance is discussed. Moreover, test data are compared with pre-test simulation predictions carried out with a continuum finite element and a concentrated plasticity model.The thesis provides valuable insights on column performance under a wide range of seismic inputs, the interaction of axial load and lateral drift demands, strength and stiffness deterioration phenomena occurring at the component level and a failure mode associated with column axial shortening. In particular, experimental results show that all the tested column specimens exhibit an appreciable plastic rotation capacity even when subjected to high axial load demands. These results can serve to refine seismic design code provisions, revisit guidelines for the nonlinear analysis of steel columns and calibrate numerical models, on the basis of the proposed recommendations." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability Design of Steel Frames provides a summary of the behavior, analysis and design of structural steel members and frames with flexibly-jointed connections. The book presents the theory and design of structural stability and includes extensions of computer-based analyses for individual members in space with imperfections. It also shows how connection flexibility influences the behavior and design of steel frames and how designers must consider this in a limit-state analysis and design procedure. The clearly written text and extensive bibliography make this a practical book for advanced students, researchers and professionals in civil and structural engineering, as well as a useful supplement to traditional books on the theory and design of structural stability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) is a structural design methodology that has become more common in urban centers around the world, particularly for the design of high-rise buildings. The primary benefit of PBSD is that it substantiates exceptions to prescribed code requirements, such as height limits applied to specific structural systems, and allows project teams to demonstrate higher performance levels for structures during a seismic event.However, the methodology also involves significantly more effort in the analysis and design stages, with verification of building performance required at multiple seismic demand levels using Nonlinear Response History Analysis (NRHA). The design process also requires substantial knowledge of overall building performance and analytical modeling, in order to proportion and detail structural systems to meet specific performance objectives.This CTBUH Technical Guide provides structural engineers, developers, and contractors with a general understanding of the PBSD process by presenting case studies that demonstrate the issues commonly encountered when using the methodology, along with their corresponding solutions. The guide also provides references to the latest industry guidelines, as applied in the western United States, with the goal of disseminating these methods to an international audience for the advancement and expansion of PBSD principles worldwide.

Book excerpt: This SEAOC Blue Book: Seismic Design Recommendations is the premier publication of the SEAOC Seismology Committee. The name Blue Book is renowned worldwide among engineers, researchers, and building officials. Since 1959, the SEAOC Blue Book, previously titled Recommended Lateral Force Requirements and Commentary, has been a prescient publication of earthquake engineering. The Blue Book has been at the vanguard of earthquake engineering in California and around the world. This edition of the Blue Books offers a series of articles, that cover specific topics, some related to a particular code provision and some more general relating to an area of practice. While different than the previous editions of the Blue Books, it builds upon the tremendous effort of those who have forged earthquake engineering practice via the previous half-century of Blue Book editions. The Blue Book provides: insight and discussion of earthquake engineering concepts; interpretations of sometimes ambiguous or conflicting provisions of various codes, standards, and guidelines; and practical guidance on design implementation.
