B1 General Seismic Design Requirements

Seismic Provisions defer to applicable building code
for:
Required seismic strength with some exceptions (e.g.,
where expected strength is used to determine demand
on one member caused by another member)
Determination of Seismic Design Categories
Limitations on height and irregularities
Design story drift limits

B2 Loads and Load Combinations

Applicable Building Code determines:
Loads and load combinations for required strength of
steel seismic systems
Examples in SDM use First Printing of ASCE 7-10 and
may be different from your copy of ASCE 7-10

Applicable Building Code determines:
Loads and load combinations for required strength of
steel seismic systems
Example basic LRFD seismic load combinations from
ASCE 7 (ASD similar)
(1.2 + 0.2SDS)D + QE +0.5L + 0.2S
(0.9 - 0.2SDS)D + QE + 1.6H
Taking QE with a negative sign
is assumed to create the
critical case when
investigating net tension
QE has both a
positive and
negative sign

Example 4.3.1
The seismic design story shear acting between

the second and third levels, Vx, is 140 kips as
defined in ASCE/SEI 7 Section 12.8.4.
From an elastic analysis of the structure that
includes second-order effects and accounts for
panel-zone deformations, the maximum
interstory drift occurs between the third and
fourth levels:
xe = 4e 3e = 0.482 in.

September 28, 2015

In this example, the stability check will be made at

the second level. The story drift between the
second and third levels is 0.365 in.
(3e 2e) = 0.365 in.
Solution:
From AISC Manual Table 1-1, the geometric
W24x76
bf = 8.99 in.
43
Reduced-beam-section (RBS) connections are

used at the frame beam-to-column connections
and the flange cut will reduce the stiffness of
the beam.
Example 4.3.3 illustrates the design of the RBS
geometry and the flange cut on one side of the
web is c = 2 in.
RBS (plan view)

44
Copyright 2015
22
AISC Night School

September 28, 2015

Section 5.8, Step 1, of ANSI/AISC 358 states that the

calculated elastic drift, based on gross beam
section properties, may be multiplied by 1.1 for
flange reductions up to 50% of the beam flange
width in lieu of specific calculations of effective
stiffness.
Amplification of drift values for cuts less than the
maximum may be linearly interpolated.
Some analysis programs allow for

direct input of RBS dimensions from
which the reduced stiffness can be
calculated. This isnt always practical
for preliminary designs because you
must know the dimensions of the RBS
cut.
45
Example 4.3.1
For bf = 8.99 in., the maximum cut is:

Sum of maximum
0.5(8.99 in.) = 4.50 in.
cuts on both sides
of flange
c = 2 Total cut
Thus, the total 4-in. cut is:
is 2x2 = 4
(4.00 in./4.50 in.)100 = 88.9% of the maximum cut
The calculated elastic drift needs to be amplified

by 8.89% (say 9%).
This amplification
accounts for the fact
that the analytical model
used gross sections

Drift Check
From an elastic analysis of the structure that
includes second order effects, the maximum
interstory drift occurs between the third and
fourth levels. The effective elastic drift is:
xe = 4 e 3e
= 0.482 in.
xe RBS = 1.09 xe
Amplification of
drfit by 9% due
to RBS cut
= 1.09 ( 0.482 in. )

= 0.525 in.
47
Example 4.3.1
Per the AISC Seismic Provisions Section B1, the

design story drift and the story drift limits are
those stipulated by the applicable building code.
ASCE/SEI 7 Section 12.8.6 defines the design
story drift, , computed from x, as the
difference in the deflections at the center of
mass at the top and bottom of the story under
consideration, which in this case is the third
level.

Example 4.3.1
From ASCE/SEI 7 Table 12.12-1, the allowable

story drift at level x, a, is 0.020hsx, where hsx
is the story height below level x.
(Although not assumed in this example, a can be
increased to 0.025hsx if interior walls,
partitions, ceilings and exterior wall systems
are designed to accommodate these increased
story drifts.)

Example 4.3.1
ASCE/SEI 7 Section 12.12.1.1 requires for seismic

force resisting systems comprised solely of
moment frames in structures assigned to
Seismic Design Category D, E or F, that the
design story drift shall not exceed (a/) for
any story.
Determine the allowable story drift as follows:
For = 1.3, this provision
has the effect of reducing
the allowable drift (i.e., the
structure would have to be
stiffer than if = 1.0).

Example 4.3.1
Frame Stability Check

ASCE/SEI Section 12.8.7 provides a method for
the evaluation of the P- effects on moment
frames based on a stability coefficient , which
should be checked for each floor. For the
purposes of illustration, this example checks
the stability coefficient only for the third level.
53
The stability coefficient, , is determined as follows:

Droof = 9,000 ft2 (68 psf)/1,000 lb/kip) respectively.

Dwall = 175 lb/ft[2(75 ft + 120 ft)]/(1,000 lb/kip)

54

AISC Night School

September 28, 2015

Lfloor = 9,000 ft2(50 psf)/(1,000 lb/kip)

= 450 kips
Lroof = 9,000 ft 2 ( 20 psf ) / ( 1,000 lb/kip )
= 180 kips
55
ASCE/SEI 7 does not explicitly specify load

factors to be used on the gravity loads for
determining Px, except that Section 12.8.7
does specify that no individual load factor
need exceed 1.0.
This means that if the combinations of ASCE/SEI 7
Section 2.3 are used, a factor of 1.0 can be
used for dead load rather than the usual 1.2
factor used in the LRFD load combination, for
example.
56
Copyright 2015
28
AISC Night School

September 28, 2015

This also means that the vertical component

0.2SDSD need not be considered here.
Therefore, for this example, the load combination
used to compute the total vertical load on a
given story, Px, acting simultaneously with the
seismic design story shear, Vx, is 1.0D + 0.5L
based on ASCE/SEI 7 Section 2.3 including the
0.5 factor on L permitted by Section 2.3, where L
is the reduced live load.
57
Note that consistent with this, the same

combination was used in the second order
analysis for this example for the purpose of
computing the fundamental period, base
shear, and design story drift.

Example 4.3.1
Therefore, the total vertical design load carried by

the columns on the second level is:
Px = 2,280 kips + 540 kips

AISC Night School

September 28, 2015

Example 4.3.1
From an elastic analysis of the structure, the

seismic design story shear acting at the third
level under the story drift loading using the
equivalent lateral force procedure is Vx = 140
kips and the floor-to-floor height is hsx = 12.5 ft.
Therefore, the stability coefficient is:
2,820 kips ( 2.19 in. )( 1.0 )
=
140 kips ( 12.5 ft )( 12 in./ft )( 5.5 )
= 0.0535

compute the story drift, is adjusted as

considered for computing story drift.
Note that whether or not second-order effects on
member forces must be considered per
ASCE/SEI 7 has to be verified, as it was in this
example; however, Chapter C of the AISC
Specification requires second order effects be
considered in all cases in the analysis used
effects include P- and
for member design. Second-order
P-. is the first order interstory
drift due to lateral loads. is the

local deformation of the column due
to these loads, initial column
imperfections, etc.

Example 4.3.1
Check the maximum permitted

The stability coefficient may not exceed max. In
determining max, is the ratio of shear demand
to shear capacity for the level being analyzed,
and may be conservatively taken as 1.0.

Example 4.3.1
The adjusted stability coefficient satisfies the

maximum:
0.0508 < 0.0909 o.k.
The moment frame meets the allowable story drift
and stability requirements for seismic loading.
67
Example 4.3.1
Comments:
There are a total of six bays of frames in the SMF
direction in this example. Considering the
relative expense of SMF connections, it is
probably more cost-effective to reduce the
number of bays to four, and increase member
sizes to satisfy the strength and stiffness
requirements.

Intent of this chapter is to provide analytical requirements

for use in designing structural steel seismic systems.
Currently, there is little prescriptive material in the
provisions section, but there are analytical and modeling
recommendations in the Commentary.
SDM contains discussions and examples illustrating some
of the aspects of seismic system analysis. See Example
5.3.2 as an illustration.

Chapter D
General Member and Connection Design

Requirements
Contains provisions that apply to multiple systems
(e.g., member requirements for ductility and bracing at
plastic hinges)
General connection requirements (e.g., bolting and
welding requirements and column splices)
Deformation compatibility
H-piles

Chapter D
D1 Member Requirements
Seismic Provisions may require certain members to
be moderately ductile, md , or highly ductile, hd
These requirements may be more stringent than
found in Specification Table B4.1
These new designations replace compact and
seismically compact from earlier editions
These provisions present requirements to limit
(delay) local flange or local web buckling

Chapter D
Compactness describes a section sufficiently
stocky to develop a fully plastic stress distribution
without buckling
Certain members in seismic systems are expected to
delay onset of buckling beyond initial development of
the plastic distribution, so compactness isnt a
very descriptive term for the behavior sought
75
Chapter D
Table D1.1 presents md and hd valuesthere are no
significant technical changes from compact and
seismically compact values
Table D1.1 contains helpful graphics to make it easier
to understand which value applies for different parts
of structural sections
