Improved Seismic Design Recommendations for Wide-Flange Columns in Ductile Steel Moment-Resisting Frames considering Three-dimensional Response
DownloadSpring 2022
Deep wide-flange columns are commonly used in the construction of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) to resist lateral seismic loads in high seismic regions in North America. Past studies on deep columns with base plastic hinges located at the first storey of MRFs have indicated that such...

Steel Multi-Tiered Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames (MT-BRBFs) are commonly used in moderate-to-high seismic regions of Canada and United States as the lateral-load resisting systems of tall single-storey buildings, such as sports facilities, airplane hangars, and warehouses, as well as in...

Multi-tiered braced frames are commonly used as the lateral load-resisting system of tall single-storey buildings or tall storeys of multi-storey buildings. This framing system divides the frame or storey height into multiple bracing panels, resulting in more economical member sizes and practical...

The objective of this research is to develop design methods for steel plate shear wall in low and moderate seismic regions, and to examine its performance under accidental blast. Different practical details are investigated to reduce the force demands on the boundary frame of the wall system and...
