Seismic Behavior Investigation of Prefabricated Steel Industrial Buildings

Abstract:

Prefabricated steel industrial buildings are designed with design standards against to earthquake loads. Several lateral systems are used to increase the strength of steel industrial buildings against earthquake loads. Most commonly used systems are braced frame systems. In the braced frame systems, the most important problem is the buckling of these members under compression loads. Currently, the cost for buckling restrained braced frame systems are too high. For steel industrial buildings, the buildings` cost are calculated by considering unit weight of steel. The main cost of the building is based on manufacturing of steel and erection of the building. On the other hand, masonry infilled wall systems are preferred to protect the inside. Masonry infill walls are the structural members resisting to compression loads. Masonry infill walls are commonly rigid systems on contrary to braced frame systems since the masonry infill walls are constructed during the both axes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the seismic behavior of prefabricated steel industrial buildings. These industrial buildings were considered in various combinations as bare, with tension strand systems as braced frame members and masonry infill walls which are used to resist lateral forces. Behavior of tension strand systems used as lateral resistance in prefabricated steel buildings comparing to bare and infill walled ones have been investigated. In the models with tension strand systems, various diameters and pretension loads were used for investigation of various cases of structural system.
