Frame of Reference: Steel Moment Frames Explained
This web seminar addresses the structural design and detailing requirements for ordinary and special steel moment frames specified in the 2012 IBC, ASCE 7-10, AISC 360-10, and AISC 341-10. Intermediate steel moment frames are only addressed by explaining why they are not commonly used. The following topics will be presented:
- Seismic detailing requirements for steel moment frames that are commonly overlooked
- Examples illustrating the design of mixing steel moment resisting frames with wood lateral-force resisting systems and compliance with seismic detailing requirements, even when wind load governs
- Performance of past design leading up to current design philosophy for steel moment frames
- Comparisons of design and detailing requirements for steel moment frame systems
- Background into exceptions for increased height of ordinary steel moment frames
- Challenges when using steel moment frames in wood construction
- Latest seismic research involving steel moment frames
