Ultimate Limit

The push-over nonlinear evaluation of four eccentrically braced frame performance was conducted to assess the plastic deformation and location of plastic hinges in buildings with six, nine, twelve and fifteen stories. The excessive plastification of out-of-beam members is revealed in the majority of these buildings while the AISC design provision allows the moderate plastification in these members. Therefore, the beams out of link might be in danger of fracture of web and flange. Likewise, this was controversial evidence in Chrischurch earthquakes. In order to modify this problem either using fixed connection of braced members or using the very short shear links which have less end moment force than out-of-link beams moment strength are recommended. By this modification, the response modification coefficients are calculated for these buildings which are almost equal to the provision value. The maximum plastic rotation of shear links recommended by provisions (0.08 radian) is the upper ultimate limit to prevent emerging of out-of-link member`s instability.

The seismic performance of single-storey steel buildings, with concentrically braced frames and a roof diaphragm that acts structurally, is evaluated. The buildings are designed in accordance with the National Building Code of Canada 1995 and CSA Standard S16.1-94 for five seismic zones in western Canada with seismicities ranging from low to high. Only frames designed with a force modification factor of 1.5 are considered. Analytical models of the building are developed, which consider the nonlinear seismic behaviour of the concentrically braced frame, the strength and stiffness contributions of the cladding, and the flexibility, strength, and distributed mass of the roof diaphragm. The seismic response of the models is assessed by means of a linear static analysis, a response spectrum analysis, a nonlinear static or "pushover" analysis, and nonlinear dynamic time history analyses. The results indicate that current design procedures provide a reasonable estimate of the drift and brace ductility demand, but do not ensure that yielding is restricted to the braces. Moreover, in moderate and high seismic zones, the roof diaphragm responds inelastically and brace connections are overloaded. Recommendations are made to improve the seismic performance of such buildings.Key words: analyses, concentrically braced frame, dynamic, earthquake, flexible diaphragm, low-rise, nonlinear, seismic design, steel.
