Course Description
Building Configuration
April 21, 2014
This Building Configuration lecture will focus on load path and the role
and components of diaphragms. There will be a discussion of foundation
issues. Irregularities and their treatment in steel frame design will be
covered. The session will present the treatment of 3-dimensional
analysis issues as well as of modal-response-spectrum analysis issues.
The concept of deformation compatibility will be presented. This lecture
will also include a discussion of issues related to fixity and rotation
demand.

Learning Objectives
Gain an understanding of load path for the design of steel
framed structures
Become familiar with diaphragm behavior and design
principles.
Learn and understand about foundation design concepts for
steel framed structures.
Learn and understand about deformation compatiblity in
steel framed structures.

Structures require a complete load path to


maintain stability
Foundations and diaphragms are an
integral part of the load path
The entire structure must be capable of
