Displacement-Based Seismic Design Method of Steel Moment Frame

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to lots of documents previously studied, a seismic design method is put forward based on displacement for steel moment frame. This method is established in condition that the yield displacement of steel frame can be determined by its geometrical dimension; then the objective displacement (ultimate displacement) can be determined in light of performance level of the structure, and the corresponding coefficient of ductility can be obtained. Thereafter, the design base shear of steel frame structure can be calculated by the use of reduced elastic spectrum. Thus, the design of stiffness and capacity can be conducted on steel frame structure. The analysis of case study indicates that the displacement-based seismic design method addressed herein is of reasonable safety and reliability, and of operational convenience, which can still realize the seismic design of steel frame structure at different performance levels.
