The paper presents global stability comparative analysis of two distinctive structural systems for one 25 - storey high steel building. These are the system with rigid and the system with hinged joint connections between beams and columns in the steel structure. The analysis focuses on the basic structure which was designed only to carry vertical loads, and on the corresponding structure which was stabilized with vertical bracings in the fa?ade walls. Additionally, the paper shows several intermediate steps in the designing of stabilized systems. Static and dynamic design of the relevant structural systems, as well as the control of stress, deformation and stability under the seismic forces of seismic intensity VIII, was done on a computer, on the 3D computation models using Finite Element Method.

Abstract Quayside container crane is a kind of large dimension steel structure, which is the major equipment used for lifting container at modern ports. With the aim to ensure the safety and reliability of the crane under seismic loads, an anti-seismic device is designed. To validate the efficiency and reliability of the anti-seismic device, elastic-plastic time history analysis under rare seismic intensity is carried out. And the results of elastic-plastic time history analysis when the crane installed anti-seismic device and uninstalled the device are compared.

Since Ronan Point tower local collapse in UK in 1968, progressive collapse phenomenon in structures attracted more attention for civil engineers all over the world so there were no useful researches and manual codes related to progressive collapse designing before. Progressive collapse occurs when loading pattern, boundary condition and resisting path changed, so critical elements undergo excessive unpredicted loading. We cannot omit reason of collapse as well as prevention of distribution of it that cause progressive collapse. Also, we cannot predict exact location of collapse beginning, so we should generalized design guides to whole or part of structures elements based on risk analyzing. Also we can use load carrying element removal scenario for critical elements. To prevent progressive collapse, structural systems require to having a well-distributed, redundant lateral load resisting system and ductile connections capable of undergoing large inelastic rotations without failing. There are some new guides and criteria for elements and connections to be designed to resist progressive collapse. Depends on required accuracy, importance of the buildings and acceptable risk level, the analysis methodologies ranged from linear to nonlinear with static and dynamic approaches. In this paper, codes and researches recommendations to resist progressive collapse for steel structures are presented, classified and compared. Also, applicable design methods based on codes and some retrofitting methods are summarized.

Seismic structural design of X-braced steel buildings using life cycle cost analysis aims to reveal the most appropriate structural solution for both satisfying economic aspects and earthquake resistant design code requirements among a number of variant solutions accounting architectural concerns. In this study, five storey X-braced steel building with three different X-bracing configurations is designed using various base shear values and the total cost of each design of three configurations is calculated for different earthquake intensities. Initial costs and the cost of the expected damages caused by future earthquakes are determined for each X-bracing configuration. The maximum interstorey drift ratio is selected as seismic performance parameter for satisfying earthquake code demands and evaluated through nonlinear static analysis. The optimum X-bracing configuration is determined by using the balance between the initial cost and the life-time earthquake damage cost.

Past and current seismic design provisions for steel structures in Japan are presented and compared with Canadian requirements. The performance of steel framed structures during the January 17, 1995, Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake is described. Numerous failures and examples of inadequate behaviour could be observed in buildings of various ages, sizes, and heights, and braced with different structural systems. In moment resisting frames, the damage included failures of beams, columns, beam-to-column connections, and column bases. Fracture of bracing members or their connections was found in concentrically braced frames. The adequacy of the current Canadian seismic design provisions is examined in view of the observations made. Key words: earthquake, seismic design, steel structures.

Seismic analysis of structural systems with floor diaphragms has been a requisite in the recent past. The duty of a structural engineer is to be prudent about the behavior of every structural system adopted. Amongst the structural systems that are adopted world over, diaphragm with rigid and semi-rigid floor plate are adopted widely in the analysis. This research focuses on the backstay effect i.e. podium structural interaction with the tower area and consideration of retaining wall as increment of lateral stiffness as specified in latest tall building code IS6700:2016 for low and high rise structures. In the current study models were prepared with low to high rise storeys with rigid and flexible diaphragms considering backstay diaphragm placing tower at center and corner. The models were subjected to seismic forces; response spectrum along with the combination of the gravity loads. The structural responses like natural periods, base shear, displacement and inter storey drift were also studied.
