2 H H Ductility in Steel Structures: Yielding Nonductile Failure Modes: Fracture or Instability yield failure Ductility Factor μ = failure yield H Ductility = Yielding Failure = Fracture or Instability Developing Ductile Behavior: Choose frame elements ("fuses") that will yield in an earthquake. Detail "fuses" to sustain large inelastic deformations prior to the onset of fracture or instability (i.e., detail fuses for ductility). Design all other frame elements to be stronger than the fuses, i.e., design all other frame elements to develop the plastic capacity of the fuses. Design EQ Loads Total Lateral Force: V CW s V = total design lateral force or shear at base of structure W = effective seismic weight of building C S = seismic response coefficient V Basic Concept Seismic Design Philosophy Impractical to design a structure to withstand seismic force in elastic range Allow the structure go into the inelastic deformation to absorb energy Simplification: come up with R factor design approach (Engineers only need to do elastic analysis with an assumed R value) Determine the static force using NBCC 10 and the ductility requirement by CSA-S16 09/12/ Design Earthquake Loads NBCC 2010: V = S M v I E W R d R o S : Design Spectral Acceleration (2%-50yrs) M v : Higher modes I E : Importance factor W : Seismic weight R d : Ductility-related FMF Force Modification Factors (FMF): R o : Overstrength-related FMF SFRS: R d R o R d R o Ductile Steel MRF: Type MD Steel CBF: Type CC Steel SFRS: R.

3 Ductility-related force modification factor (R d ): This factor corresponds to the R factor used in the previous 1995 edition. For steel structures, these have been increased for ductile and moderately ductile systems to 3.5 and 5.0, compared to 3.0 and 4.0 in the previous code. The design forces for these systems are now lower; however, the details requirements to ensure adequate ductility according to these factors are more demanding. Force reduction factors in the 2010 NBCC Overstrength-related force modification factor (R o ): This factor is related to the calibration factor U used in the previous code. It takes into account in a more explicit way the overstrength in structures, by identifying the sources of it and assigning factors that consider each of these sources, like the actual strength of the material, rounding up of dimensions of the elements, and redistribution of internal forces.

The other elements and connections must respond elastically to loads induced by yielding elements. Classification of SFRS according to there ductile behavior: Ductile or Type D: They can sustain severe inelastic deformations. They have a force reduction factor between 4.0 and 5.0. Moderately ductile or Type MD: Inelastic deformations are more limited, members are designed to resist greater loads. They have a force reduction factor between 3.0 and 3.5. Limited ductile or Type LD: These are newly introduced types of frames. Inelastic deformations are even more limited and design loads are greater than in type MD elements. They have a force reduction factor of /12/ SDS CS R I S DS = design spectral acceleration at short periods S D1 = design spectral acceleration at 1-second period S D1 R T I SD1T L 2 R T I I = importance factor for T T L for T > T L T = fundamental period of building T L = long period transition period R = response modification coefficient R factors for Selected Steel Systems (ASCE 7): Seismic Load Resisting Systems for Steel Buildings SMF (Special Moment Resisting Frames): R = 8 IMF (Intermediate Moment Resisting Frames): R = 4.5 OMF (Ordinary Moment Resisting Frames): R = 3.5 EBF (Eccentrically Braced Frames): R = 8 or 7 SCBF (Special Concentrically Braced Frames): R = 6 OCBF (Ordinary Concentrically Braced Frames): R = 3.25 BRBF (Buckling Restrained Braced Frame): R = 8 or 7 SPSW (Special Plate Shear Walls): R = 7 Moment Resisting Frames Concentrically Braced Frames Eccentrically Braced Frames Buckling Restrained Braced Frames Special Plate Shear Walls Undetailed Steel Systems in Seismic Design Categories A, B or C R = 3 (AISC Seismic Provisions not needed) by Dr. Carlos E.

At least one end of every brace is connected to isolate a segment of the beam called a link. Resist lateral load through a combination of frame action and truss action. EBFs can be viewed as a hybrid system between moment frames and concentrically braced frames. Develop ductility through inelastic action in the links. EBFs can supply high levels of ductility (similar to MRFs), but can also provide high levels of elastic stiffness (similar to CBFs) e Link by Dr. Carlos E. Ventura, UBC 7

Ventura Conclusions An overall overview of the seismic design of steel structures in Canada and the US has been carried out. The design procedures for SFRS, moment-resisting connections, and some special framing systems, which are spread in various documents and publications, have all been organized in this report. Each of the SFRS presented have their own advantages and disadvantages. There may be cases in which it might not be possible to use the prequalified connections, and physical tests are usually very expensive and cannot be afforded by small engineering companies. More research is needed to develop design procedures for various types of connections with different element sections. Systems like the special truss moment frame and the frictiondamped steel frame provide safe and economic solutions compared to conventional framing systems, and may be implemented in future codes.
