Problem : Given a Moment Resisting Frame which is unbraced against lateral seismic
forces.
Uniform Loads on Beams
Lateral Loads on Storey
Note : 1. In-Plane Bending Moments for Columns are resisted by Strong Axis of
Columns.
2. In-Plane Bending Moments for Beams are resisted by Strong Axis of
Beams.
3. Check the adequacy of Columns AB, EF and IJ considering magnified
axial loads and bending moments. Use first order analysis results with
moment magnification method.
FRAME SHOWING MEMBER AND JOINT NUMBERING
REQUIRED :
1. Perform an analysis of the frame using any classical method (i.e.
Slope-Deflection, Sidesway Analysis, etc) and compare to the
results shown below.
2. Investigate columns AB, EF and IJ using AISC LRFD Interaction equation considering
secondary effects. Use the results shown below for uniformity in design. Follow the
steps introduced in example 6.6 by Segui.
