Design Example 1 Special Moment Frame
OVERVIEW
Structural steel special moment frames (SMF) are typically comprised of wide-ange beams, columns, and beam-column connections. Connections are proportioned and detailed to resist internal forces (exural, axial, and shear) that result from imposed displacement as a result of wind or earthquake ground shaking. Inelasticity and energy dissipation are achieved through localized yielding of the beam element outside of the beam-column connection. Special proportioning and detailing of this connection is essential to achieving the desired inelastic behavior. The anticipated seismic behavior of the SMF system is long-period, high-displacement motion, with well distributed inelastic demand shared by all participating beam-column connections. System yielding mechanisms are generally limited to frame beams with the intent to invoke yielding at the base of frame columns. In many cases, engineers may model a SMF system with pin-based columns as signicant stiffness is required to yield the base of large wide-ange members. If yielding at the base of the frame is desired to occur within the column section, the column might be extended below grade and tied into a basement wall or a ground-level beam, which is added to create a beam-column connection. Economies of construction usually limit the size of beam and column elements based on imposed displacement/drift limits. Design regulations for steel SMF are promulgated in a series of standards: ASCE/SEI 7, ANSI/AISC 341, ANSI/AISC 358, and ANSI/AISC 360. AISC 358 provides specic regulations related to prequalication of certain SMF connection types that obviate project-specic testing required by AISC 341. This design example follows the provisions of AISC 358 for the RBS connection type for the steel SMF seismic-forceresisting system. The six-story steel ofce structure depicted in the gure above has a lateral-force-resisting system comprising structural steel special moment frames. The typical oor framing plan is shown in Figure 11. A typical frame elevation is depicted in Figure 12. This design example utilizes simplifying assumptions

for ease of calculation or computational efciency. Because bay sizes vary, the example frames can be designed with different participating bays in each direction, which will result in different sizes of beams and columns for each frame depending on location. This example explores the design of a single frame and a single connection of that frame. Assumptions related to base-of-column rotational restraint (assumed xed), applied forces (taken from the base example assumptions), and applied wind force (not considered) are all incorporated into the example in silent consideration. Beam and column element sizes were determined using a linear elastic computer model of the building. These element sizes were determined through iteration such that code-required drift limits, element characteristics, and strength requirements were met. While this example is accurate and appropriate for the design of steel SMF structures, different methodologies for analysis, connection design, and inelastic behavior can be utilized, including the use of proprietary SMF connection design. This example does not explore every possible option, nor is it intended to be integrated with other examples in this document (i.e. Base Plate Design, Passive Energy Dissipation).

Figure 13 depicts the design spectral acceleration determined from T, which is greater than TS , so the design spectral acceleration Sa is 0.70g. ASCE 7 Section 12.8.2 indicates that the fundamental period of the structure can be established using the structural properties and deformational characteristics of the resisting elements in a properly substantiated analysis, which might allow a linear elastic modal analysis to sufce. Section 12.8.2, however, limits the period that can be used to calculate spectral acceleration to a value of Tmax = Cu Ta , where Cu is a factor found in Table 12.81. In this case Tmax = 1.4 0.86 = 1.20 sec. For preliminary design, the approximate period, Ta , will be used to design the SMF. As SMF designs are heavily dependent on meeting drift requirements, the initial value (usually found to be much lower than the period found through mathematical modeling) will sufce for the rst design iteration.
