Ductility = Inelastic Deformation
Choose frame elements ("fuses") that will yield in an

earthquake:

Links in eccentrically braced frames, etc.

Detail "fuses" to sustain large inelastic deformations

prior to the onset of fracture or instability
Design all other frame elements to be stronger than

the fuses
Detail fuses for ductility
All other frame elements develop the plastic

capacity of the fuses
Generally, this means other elements remain
elastic or nearly elastic
I-21
I-22
Alternatively, in some areas of the country, you may

design to a higher force (i.e. use R = 3) and you do
not have to detail the seismic elements as required
You cant use R > 3

6.1. Material Specifications
Specified minimum yield strength (Fy) for

members with anticipated inelastic behavior
shall not exceed 50 ksi (unless suitability is
proven by testing)
Limitation does not apply to columns where
inelastic behavior is assumed to be limited to
column base.
When specified in Seismic Provisions, required

strength shall be based on Expected Yield
Strength, RyFy, of an adjoining member
Underlying assumption is that actual yield strength
is greater than minimum specified strength
In seismic design, it is not appropriate (i.e. not
conservative) to underestimate demand on one
member created by another

QUESTIONS?
Both flanges of beam shall be laterally braced with

maximum spacing of Lb = Lpd per Equation A-1-7 and A1-8 of Appendix 1 of the Specification.
Braces need to possess sufficient strength and
stiffness (See notes on Section 9.8 of Seismic
Provisions and Appendix 6 of Specification for example
requirements)
