Seismic Design Studies of Low-Rise Steel Frames

Abstract

dc:description

In this investigation, the inelastic behavior of low-rise buildings with steel moment-resisting frames providing the lateral resistance for strong ground motions was examined. The inelastic behavior of frames is dependent on several parameters such as design base shear, beam-to-column strength ratio, moment-resisting connection behavior, nonstructural element participation, etc. The influence of these parameters was determined by performing inelastic time-history analyses.
