Mapped Acceleration parameters SS and S1, taken from maps in 2006 IBC figures 1615 (1) through (14) or ASCE 7-05 figures 22-1 through 22-14, or use of Google Earth and USGS website: earthquake.usgs.gov/research/hazmaps/design SS = 1.5g @ T=0.2 sec. S1 = 0.6g @ T=1.0 sec. Note: These values are site specific and are based on MCE values for 2% in 50 year probability (2,500 year recurrence) Determine site class per 2006 IBC 1613.5.2 or 1613.5.5 Use site class D in absence of specific geotechnical information per 1613.5.2 Determine site coefficient and adjusted MCE per 2006 IBC 1613.5.3 Required since all mapped accelerations based on site class B Use table 1613.5.3 values to convert to site class D Fa=1.0, Fv=1.5 Adjust MCE Spectral Response for site class D Sms = Fa SS = 1.0(1.5)=1.5g Sm1 = Fv S1 = 1.5(0.6) = 0.9g

If no more than 33% reduction in capacity occurs and the resulting system does not have an extreme torsional irregularity, = 1.0 Exception b: Building must be regular in plan at all levels For each level resisting more than 35% of base shear, the LFRS must have at least two bays of perimeter seismic resisting framing at each side in each orthogonal direction The example meets exception b requirements and results in = 1.0 Note: Per 1997 UBC SDM Example 3A, = 1.25

is the ratio of shear force to shear strength at level considered and may be conservatively taken as 1.0 Where 0.10 < < max, P- effects must be determined by rational analysis or displacements and member forces multiplied by 1/(1- ) If > max, the structure may be unstable and shall be redesigned

4 - Seismic Design Requirements for Building Structures (continued)

Modify story drift and stability coefficient for reduced frame stiffness associated with RBS connections AISC 358-05 5.8 indicates that SMF design must consider reduced stiffness associated with the use of RBS connections. In lieu of more precise analysis, an elastic story drift using gross section properties multiplied by 1.1 may be used for flange reductions up to the maximum of 50% (interpolation may be used for lesser flange reductions) From the example: (/h)max = 0.023 x 1.1 = 0.025 0.025 ok x 1.1 = 0.079 < max ok Note: Analysis model used for example is based on a centerline analysis which is considered a reasonable approximation of primary element deflections and panel zone distortions

5 SMF Frame Member Design

Steel SMF member design governed by 2006 IBC 2205.2.2 which requires compliance with AISC 341 for SDC D, E, and F. Example members: W27x84 beam W14x176 column A992 A992 Fy = 50 ksi Fy = 50 ksi Fu = 65 ksi Fu = 65 ksi

AISC 341-05 requires use of expected strength = Fye = RyFy where Ry = 1.1 per AISC 341-05 table I-6-1 for A992

Check Frame for P- Instability AISC 360-05 Chapter C notes that any method that considers P- and P- effects is acceptable. This Chapter also has provisions for approximating second order effects. Where: P- = second order effect of displacements of braced points (story deflection) P- = second order effect of displacements between braced points (loads between levels) Computer analysis/design program such as SAP and ETABS have provisions to consider second order effects. AISC 360-05 Appendix 7 and AISC 341-05 commentary C3 also have provisions for considering P- effects. SDM Example illustrates AISC 341 commentary C3 approach.

Note: If d M pe M f no additional calculations required and CJP weld at beam flange to column flange is acceptable. If d M pe < M f the flange cut depth should be increased (not to exceed 50%) to reduce Mf. Step 8: Check shear strength per AISC 358-05 5.8

Design strength in shear of the contact area of the continuity plate with column web c. Design strength in shear of the column panel zone d. Sum of the expected yield strengths of the beam flanges transmitting forces to the continuity plates Note: AISC 358-05 2.4.4b requires use of CJP welds of continuity plates to column flanges, therefore no calculations are required at this interface. However, the connection between continuity plates and column web must be checked.
