Special Moment Resisting Frame

Indonesia has a high earthquake risk, therefore several buildings in Indonesia are designed with seismic retention systems where the column structure is designed to be stronger than the beam. The calculation of apartment building structure in this final design is based on SNI 1726:2012 and SNI 2847:2013. The method used in this calculation is the Special Moment Resisting Frame System (SMRFS) because the building area is included in the category of E seismic design which is a type of soft soil. The Special Moment Resisting Frame System is designed so that the building has more strength to withstand earthquakes, especially the column structure. This building is classified as a high-level building, therefore the analysis of seismic load is carried out by Spectrum Response Dynamic, using the SRSS (Square Root of the Sum Squares) method because the building structure has far-flung natural vibration times. In high-rise buildings, it is necessary to control the displacement between floors to reduce the large sway on each floor. The displacement between floors resulting from elastic analysis is less than the maximum allowable intersection between floors. so that the building structure is still safe against swaying.

Floor Acceleration

Severe damage to acceleration sensitive nonstructural components in recent earthquakes has resulted in unprecedented losses. Recent research has been aimed at increasing the understanding of acceleration demands on nonstructural components in buildings. This investigation subjects a set of four special moment resisting frame (SMRF) building models to a suite of 21 far-field ground motions using the incremental dynamic analysis procedure. Full three-dimensional models including floor slabs are used to extract both the horizontal and vertical responses. Floor acceleration response spectra are generated to assess the acceleration demands on elastic nonstructural components. Changes to the current code provisions that include the influence of structural period are proposed. An alternative design approach that directly amplifies the ground acceleration spectrum to achieve the desired floor acceleration spectrum is presented.

Special Moment Resisting Frame

This work applies 64,765 simulated seismic ground motions to four models each of 6- or 20-story, steel special moment-resisting frame buildings. We consider two vector intensity measures and categorize the building response as “collapsed,” “unrepairable,” or “repairable.” We then propose regression models to predict the building responses from the intensity measures. The best models for “collapse” or “unrepairable” use peak ground displacement and velocity as intensity measures, and the best models predicting peak interstory drift ratio, given that the frame model is “repairable,” use spectral acceleration and epsilon ( ∊) as intensity measures. The more flexible frame is always more likely than the stiffer frame to “collapse” or be “unrepairable.” A frame with fracture-prone welds is substantially more susceptible to “collapse” or “unrepairable” damage than the equivalent frame with sound welds. The 20-story frames with fracture-prone welds are more vulnerable to P-delta instability and have a much higher probability of collapse than do any of the 6-story frames.

Special Moment Resisting Frame

AbstractThis study presents the impact of near-field and far-field earthquakes on the seismic design of Intermediate Moment Resisting Frame (IMRF) and Special Moment Resisting Frame (SMRF) structures through FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) P695 methodology to highlight the importance of probabilistic collapse as well as seismic performance factors of these structures. The purpose of this study is to investigate the collapse performance of steel intermediate and special moment resisting frame systems as the most common structural systems in urban areas in order to assess the seismic performance factors used for the design using nonlinear static and dynamic analysis methods. In this regard, as the representatives of low-rise to high-rise buildings, archetypes with 5-, 10- and 15- story of intermediate and special moment resisting frames are designed and then the nonlinear models are developed in OpenSees software. Nonlinear static analyses are performed to assess the overstrength and ductility of these systems. The effects of near-field and far-field ground motions on these frames are investigated through incremental dynamic analysis. These analyses are performed with 22 far-field and 20 near-field ground motion records using FEMA P695 methodology. The results show that near-field earthquakes have serious impacts on the collapse probability of structures. The superiority of special moment resisting frame over intermediate moment resisting frame is quantified in terms of safety margin and median collapse capacity under both near-field and far-field earthquakes. Finally, the results indicate that the response modification factors introduced in seismic design code are acceptable for intermediate moment resisting frame and special moment resisting frame under far-field ground motions. However, in the near-field sites while SMRF system meets the requirements of FEMA P695 methodology, the IMRF system does not satisfy these criteria.
