| Abstract: | This report has been authored by Dr Amir Yousefi, Dr Gary Djojo and Dr G. Charles Clifton of the University of Auckland. It is primarily intended to be used as a learning resource for undergrad and postgrad Structural Engineering students and contains worked examples of capacity design of a multistorey steel framed building.
The report follows the capacity design procedures from NZS3404:1997 including amendments 1 and 2 as well as the HERA design guide P4001:2013 – Seismic design of eccentrically braced frames. It covers the determination of the seismic, wind and gravity design actions of a 4 storey building. Once the design actions have been determined, the worked examples then cover the detailed design of an EBF including the design of the collector beams, diagonal braces, active link and all connections. It also gives guidance on the diaphragm shear connection checks to ensure the seismic loads have a dependable path into the braced frames. |
