Preface WIND and EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT BUILDINGS STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN :
The primary objective of this book is to disseminate information on the latest concepts, techniques, and design data to structural engineers engaged in the design of wind- and seismic-resistant buildings. Integral to the book are recent advances in seismic design, particularly those related to buildings in zones of low and moderate seismicity. These stipulations, reflected in the latest provisions of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 7-02, International Building Code (IBC)-03, and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 5000, are likely to be adopted as a design standard by local code agencies.
There now exists the unprecedented possibility of a single standard becoming a basis for earthquake-resistant design virtually in the entire United States, as well as in other nations that base their codes on U.S. practices. By incorporating these and the latest provisions of American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-02, American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) 341-02, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 356 and 350 series, this book equips designers with up-to-date information to execute safe designs, in accordance with the latest regulations. Chapter 1 presents methods of determining design wind loads using the provisions of ASCE 7-02, National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) 1995, and 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC). Wind-tunnel procedures are discussed, including analytical methods for determining along-wind and across-wind response. Chapter 2 discusses the seismic design of buildings, emphasizing their behavior under large inelastic cyclic deformations.
Design provisions of ASCE 7-02 (IBC-03, NFPA 5000) and UBC-97 that call for detailing requirements to assure seismic performance beyond the elastic range are discussed using static, dynamic, and time-history procedures. The foregone design approach—in which the magnitude of seismic force and level of detailing were strictly a function of the structure’s location—is compared with the most recent provisions, in which these are not only a function of the structure’s location, but also of its use and occupancy, and the type of soil it rests upon. This comparison will be particularly useful for engineers practicing in many seismically low- and moderate-risk areas of the United States, who previously did not have to deal with seismic design and detailing, but are now obligated to do so. Also explored are the seismic design of structural elements, nonstructural components, and equipment. The chapter concludes with a review of structural dynamic theory. The design of steel buildings for lateral loads is the subject of Chapter 3.
Traditional as well as modern bracing systems are discussed, including outrigger and belt truss systems that have become the workhorse of lateral bracing systems for super-tall buildings. The lateral design of concentric and eccentric braced frames, moment frames with reduced beam section, and welded flange plate connections are discussed, using provisions of ASCE 341-02 and FEMA-350 as source documents.
