Description
This presentation will highlight the differences in a
Seismic Design Category (SDC) C structural design compared to a structure
designed to SDC D. Parameters that are
unique to SDC C, and that are often relaxed, include: Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS), Response
Modification Coefficient R, Overstrength Ωo, Seismic detailing
requirements of AISC 341, ACI 318, masonry and wood, Irregularities, Accidental
Torsion, Orthogonal effects (100%-30%), Analysis Procedure, Redundancy, Load
Combinations, Collectors and more. Calculations
for an example steel-framed building structure will be explained in detail with
specific attention to the unique provisions, or lack thereof, for Seismic
Category C.
