Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings
About this episode
A specialized supplement to the main structural steel design specification (ANSI/AISC 360-22). This document establishes detailed criteria for designing and constructing steel and composite steel-concrete systems to resist seismic forces, covering various structural types like moment frames, braced frames, and shear walls. It outlines specific requirements for materials, connections, and quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC), introducing new systems like Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled (CC-PSW/CF) and updating provisions based on post-earthquake research, such as relaxed restrictions on through-thickness column flange strength. Furthermore, the provisions address nonlinear analysis methods (Appendix 1) and pre-qualification of connections (Chapter K) through cyclic testing to ensure adequate ductility and performance during earthquakes.
