Concentrically Braced

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.

Bracing System

In this paper bracing, diagrid and outrigger system have been analyzed for comparing the seismic performance of multistorey buildings. Bracing system is a very efficient system which can be used as a lateral load resisting system in concrete and steel buildings, in this system lateral loads are transferred through lateral bracing by undergoing in tension and compression .diagrid is another effective and efficient system that can be used as lateral load resisting system in steel and concrete tall buildings, in this system lateral loads are transferred by inclined members of the building. Another very effective system which commonly used for resisting lateral loads in concrete and steel high rise building is outrigger system, in this system lateral loads will be resisted by outrigger belt truss and core shear wall. Location and number of outrigger and type of bracing is very important which needs to be optimized in this system. In this paper comparison of bracing, diagrid and outrigger system have been studied on a 24 storey by using a standard package of ETABS 2017.

Premature and simultaneous buckling of several steel braces in steel structures due to the prolonged duration of a seismic motion is one of the issues that must be addressed in the next version of Eurocode 8. In an effort to contribute towards the improvement of the seismic design provisions of Eurocode 8, an evaluation of the overall behavior of some steel building-foundation systems under the action of long duration seismic motions is performed herein by means of nonlinear time-history seismic analyses, taking into account soil–structure interaction (SSI) effects. In particular, the maximum seismic response results—in terms of permanent interstorey drifts, overturning moments and base shears of the steel buildings as well as of the permanent settlement and tilting of their foundations—are computed. It is found that the seismic performance of steel buildings when subjected to long duration seismic motions is: (i) acceptable for the two and five-storey fixed base steel buildings and for the two-storey steel buildings with SSI effects included; (ii) unacceptable for the eight-storey fixed base steel buildings and for the five and eight-storey steel buildings with SSI effects included. In all cases of steel buildings with SSI effects included, the seismic performance of the mat foundation, as expressed by the computed values of residual settlement and tilting, is always acceptable.

Moderate Seismicity

The lateral load-resisting system of high-rise buildings in regions of low and moderate seismicity and strong wind such as the typhoon in the Korean peninsula considers the wind load as the governed lateral force so that the practical structural engineer tends to skip the evaluation against the seismic load. This study is to investigate wind-designed steel diagrid buildings located in these regions and check the possibility of the elastic design of them out. To this end, first, the diagrid high-rise buildings were designed to satisfy the wind serviceability criteria specified in KBC 2016. Then, the response spectrum analyses were performed under various slenderness ratio and wind exposures. The analyses demonstrated the good seismic performance of these wind-designed diagrid high-rise buildings because of the significant over-strength induced by the lateral load-resisting system of high-rise buildings. Also, the analysis results showed that the elastic seismic design process of some diagrid high-rise buildings may be accepted based on slenderness ratios in all wind exposures.

A brief introduction on the earthquake history of Mexico is made. A description of the various types of steel structures built in Mexico City is made, including comparisons of the other types of steel construction with more modern practices. Performance of steel buildings in the September 1985 earthquake are discussed and related to the local geotechnical conditions, including foundation behaviour. The evolution of seismic design Codes in Mexico City is presented and the Emergency Provisions recently issued, are discussed. Finally, some ideas of repairing damaged steel structures to improve their seismic performance meeting the higher demands of the reformed Code, are given as a retrofit.
