Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A performance based design procedure for design of steel moment frames is being developed for the SAC Phase 2 project. The three performance objectives are considered. The procedure is developed within the reliability framework established for the project. Several analysis procedures are recognized and bias factors will be developed so that each method will produce buildings with approximately the same probability of satisfying the design objective. A dynamic pushover analysis is used to determine the maximum drift allowed to prevent global instability. Special, Intermediate and Ordinary moment frames will be investigated.
