3.- ELASTIC ANALYSIS
3.1.- Elastic analysis using Sap2000

A finite element software (Sap2000) was used to model and perform the elastic analysis of the structure.
A 2-D analysis was set to check the behavior of the frame with lateral load in the direction assumed. The
model was constructed using frame elements for all the beams and columns. The base is defined as pinned
connection. Several iterations were carried out in order to comply with drifts and with strength of the
sections, as detailed in AISC 360-16. Sections that comply with displacement and strength requirements
are detailed in table 7, therefore table 8 verifies additional requirements by AISC 358-16, chapter 5,
section 5.3 (Prequalification limits), related to weight and maximum dimensions required for a RBC
(Reduced beam connection)

3.2.- Drift
The displacements due to lateral forces obtained from SAP2000 were used to compute the drift at every
level and compared with the maximum drift limit of 2% of the height. Full story height and inter-story

4.- DESIGN OF BEAMS AND COLUMNS
4.1.- General considerations

Based on elastic results, beams and columns are subjected to axial forces (compression, tension), shear
forces and moments, it indicates that final sections will have to resist these forces, the design will comply
with AISC 360-16 hereafter referred as the Specification, AISC 341-16, hereafter referred as the Provisions
for SMF, and additional limits for beams and columns for beam reduction connections specified in the
AISC 358-16.
For this project, I-shaped members were used for beams and columns, and material properties of steel
for ASTM 572 are shown in table 13.

Table 14. Section dimensions
As detailed in the Provisions, for SMF in chapter E, section E3.5, the sections to use in beams and columns
of SMF must be highly ductile members by evaluating the width to thickness ratios (λ) of the webs and
flanges of the sections with the limits of width to thickness (λhd) detailed in table D1.1 of the Provisions.
The W-shaped members selected were evaluated using following formulas.

4.2.- Design of members for flexure and compression

The nominal strength for flexure and compression was calculated following the Specification, chapter E
for compression as elements without slender elements, chapter F for flexure for compact elements, and
the combination of compression and flexure following chapter H. The procedure used is valid since the
sections are highly ductile.
The nominal strength for compression Pn was obtained following chapter E2 and chapter E3 of the
Specification, verifying the flexural buckling. Equations use are detailed below. The value of K was
assumed 1.

Table 17. Nominal strength for compression
The nominal strength for flexure Mn was obtained following chapter F of the Specification, section F2,
verifying the limits of yielding and lateral torsional buckling. For columns the length between points that
are either braced against lateral displacement of the compression flange or braced against twist of the
cross section (Lb) of the member is the length between the top-face and bottom-face of the beams of the
lower and upper story of the story under analysis. For the beams, Lb can be taken as the length between
secondary beams connected to the beam being designed, because the secondary beams retrain the
displacement of the flange, preventing a lateral torsional buckling. Equations used in this project are
detailed below:

5.- CAPACITY DESIGN
As per capacity design requirements, the following steps are charted:
 The maximum probable moment (Mpr) and shear forces (vRBS) is calculated at the center of the
reduced beam section were the hinge is created.
 Calculate and check the moment at the face of the column.
 Calculate and check the shear at the face of the column.
 Check for strong column – weak beam requirements.
 Calculate and check panel zone requirements, design if necessary.
 Calculate and check continuity plates requirement, design if necessary.
 Check welding requirements for connections.
 Check demands on column members as per capacity design, and check strengths vs demands.
 If required, develop a push-over analysis to find the demands on the columns.

5.6.- Weld connections
Although the weld connections does not form part of the design of this project, it is important to mention
the following considerations:
 All internal forces between elements of the beam and columns shall be transferred through welds.
 Weld access holes are required to create enough spaces between the beam flange and column,
to do the complete joint penetration weld on the flange of the beam.
 Complete joint penetration weld (CJP) is used to connect the flanges and web of the beam to the
column.
 Complete join penetration weld (CJP) is used to connect the flanges and web of the column to the
continuity plates and panel zone reinforcement.
 Additional plug holes welding is required to connect the panel zone reinforcement to the column
web.

5.8.- Column design check

5.8.1.- Peak demand forces on column members
A push-over analysis was modeled to account for the distribution of forces after the formation of plastic
hinges. This way we can assure what are the demands that the columns must resist on a given case when
all the beams form their plastic hinges. After generating the first 5 plastic hinges, the peak demands on
the column stabilize, which are the maximum axial, flexure, and shear forces used for column design.
