1. Project Description
The project of study is a 3-story and 36 ft. tall building, located near Salt Lake City in Utah (coordinates
41.140011 N and -111.947694 W) (refer to Figure 1). This building has a regular plan dimension of 240x240
ft, and the Seismic Force Resistant System (SFRS) will be Special Moment Frame (SMF). Six (6) frames will
be distributed along each direction in the plan (refer to Figure 2). Due to project conditions, the
distribution of the SFRS must be alternated along the height of the structure. The analysis and design of
the Gravity Load System (GLS) is out of the scope of this report and will not be included.
1.1.Plan View
As described in the project description, the plan dimension of the building is 240x240 ft, distributed in 9
bays, the SMF is in the central 3 bays with a span of 18 ft due project requirements, the GLS is in the rest
of the bays with a span of 40 ft and 13 ft as shown in Figure 2. Only one frame was analyzed from the total
of 6 since the horizontal force distribution is the same.
1.2.Vertical View
The facades of the building are shown in Figure 2. As a requirement of the project, the distribution of the
SMF frames must be alternated along the height, to avoid a “soft story” we checked the relation of story
stiffness along the height of the building. Since the columns are the major source of lateral stiffness in this
type of configuration, the contribution of the beams to the global lateral stiffness is minimal.

2. Loads
2.1.Gravity Loads
A distributed seismic weight of 100 psf was considered as gravity load, the design of the GLS was not part
of the scope of this work. All gravity loads were neglected for the design of the SRFS as instructed by the
project specifications, moments amplifications produced by stability related analysis weren’t considered
as well.
2.2.Seismic Loads
The seismic loads were determined through the requirements of the ASCE 7-16, the height and regularity
conditions of the structure allow us to use the Equivalent Lateral Force (ELF) method to obtain the seismic
forces and the period of the structure was calculated according the ASCE 7-16 section 12.8.2.
To check seismic drift; the fundamental period “T” was obtained from modal analysis as permitted by
ASCE 7-16 12.8.6.2, this was done because the drift requirement was the controlling factor and increasing
sections sizes would increase the overall price of the structure, specially connections.
As described in Section 1, SMF were considered as the LSF and it was assumed that the central 3 bays will
resist the 100% of the seismic force in each direction of analysis divided equally in 6 frames, see Figure 2.
This system is described in the table 12.2-1 (Design coefficients and Factors for Seismic Force-Resisting
Systems) as B.2 with the following parameters.
As it mentioned in Section 1, the project is located near Salt Lake City, UT, with coordinates 41.140011 N
and -111.947694 W. No soil amplification factors were considered for the determination of the Design
Spectra, all other parameters were determined online from the United States Geological Service (USGS)
in the Earthquake Hazards Program-Design Ground Motions section. Refer to Appendix A for the
computation of the design spectra and periods.

For the analysis and design requirements of the SMF System, the AISC 341-16 Seismic Provisions for
Structural Steel Buildings was used. The section E3 of this manual stablishes the Basis of Design and
Analysis for this SMF, and explains how to determine the forces to use in the design as follows:
a) Elastic seismic forces on beams and columns from the seismic combinations of ASCE 7-16; it is a
project requirement that the value of Ω0 should be taken as 1 for the additional check analysis of
the columns.
b) The beam to column moment ratio at connections should satisfied the requirements of E3.4.4a.
c) The connections should be designed for the capacity limit state Ecl.
These requirements result in an iterative design process with an initial phase to determine the size of the
elements for drift control and a second phase to determine the capacity limited strength of the beams for
the connection design and required moment columns-beam capacity ratio.
3. Load Combinations
A single combination of non-factored seismic load was used in the analysis for determination of forces in
the structural members.
1) 1.0(E)
Where:
ISS-R3-2019-03-28 5

E=Ecl for columns (Overstrenght load case wasn’t computed since Ω0=1.0 is a requirement of the project;
the global buckling check was computed with the capacity limited state, Ecl, see AISC 341 B2; AISC 341
D1.4a (b) permits neglecting applied moments but for SMF isn’t recommended to neglect them)
4. Analysis
Due to the distribution of the SRFS, the regularity conditions and the use of the ELF method for
determination of the seismic forces, the analysis for the SMF can be simplified to a 2-dimensional model,
where only the degrees of freedom UX, UZ and RY were considered for the solution. The software used
to determine the forces and deformations was SAP2000 v20.

As stated in section 2.2, the ELF method (ASCE 7-16 12.8.3) was used to determine the lateral seismic
forces acting on the structure (refer to Appendix A for a detailed computation of this forces). Since the
structure is regular in plan and the SRFS is symmetrically located respect to the center of mass, we can
assume that 1/6 of the seismic forces is resisted in each frame.

5. Material Properties
ASTM A992 (Table 2-4 of the AISC Steel Construction Manual 15th Edition) is the material for the beams
and columns in the project, the material has the following properties:
6. Analysis Results
6.1.Fundamental Period
The fundamental period was determined according to ASCE 7-16 section 12.8.2, a Dynamic Modal Analysis
is not required for the height and regularity of the structure, so the approximate method is appropriate
(refer to Appendix A for full computation of approximate fundamental period). This was utilized to design
the beams and columns with the base shear calculated in Table 4.
Ta = 0.492 s
For the drift computation, ASCE 7-16 12.8.6.2 was used and the fundamental period of the structure was
calculated from modal Analysis, (refer to Appendix A); the vertical force distribution computation
utilized was also the same ELF method as described ASCE 7-16 12.8.3., although the minimum shear
requirement of eq. 12.8-5 and 12.8-6 don’t need to be considered, the drift computation made use of
this limit, see Table 5.
T = 1.41 s
6.2.Drift
The story drift was determined according to ASCE 7-16 section 12.8.6, the calculated elastic
displacement is increased by the deflection amplification factor specified in Table 1 and the inelastic
displacements are shown in Table 6.

• Equivalent Lateral Forces Procedure, to determine the forces to design beams and axial forces
considering the overstrength factor in columns.
• Capacity Analysis for connections, beam-column moment ratio verification and capacity forces
in columns.
For the capacity design, the load states were calculated with the following loads in the structure:
To generate a real estimate of the distributions of shear force and moments, a push-over analysis was
executed considering the expected plastic moments in the location of the hinges, the results were
compared with the values of the Table 7.
Refer to Appendix B for detail computations of maximum probable moments in beams and their
correspondent moments projections in the center of the column that were used to check the capacity of
the nodes as required by section E.3.4a. Table 7 summarizes the maximum probable moments (Mpr), the
moment at the column face (Mf), the moment at the centerline of the column (Mcc) and the maximum
shear considering the location of the plastic hinges (Vu)

The detail calculations are shown in Appendix C. For the design of the braces, the Table 8 shows the
demanding force, the resisting force and the demand-capacity ratio. Lb = 6.0 ft for all beams and it is
consistent with the maximum value of 8 ft. The bracing computation wasn’t a requirement of the project.

7.2.Columns
The columns were chosen according to the Drift Analysis of the SMF. The mechanical qualities of the
columns (W33x291) are calculated or taken from the AISC Construction Manual and are summarized in
the following table:
• Forces that come from a Seismic Analysis (ELF procedure in our case).
• Overstrength axial by a factor Ωo, neglecting the bending moments for such verification (Seismic
Design Provisions D 4a.). Nevertheless, according to the conditions to this project the
Overstrength factor is 1. Instead, ISS adopted a Capacity Design for analyzing the forces in the
columns, moment was not neglected.

The detail calculations are shown in Appendix D. From the above tables, we can observe that the section
accomplished the requirements of the Seismic Provisions and conditions of the project.
In addition to the columns, ISS verify the limitations in the relationship between beams and columns
(Weak/Strong respectively), in Appendix D, the calculation of these verifications are presented in detail.
All the limitations in the relationship between columns and beams are satisfactory, as we summarize in
the following table.

7.3.Connections
The effectiveness of the connections is critical for the design of a SMF and since the probable maximum
moment is dependent of the type of connection, an evaluation of the Prequalified Connections was
performed were the pros and cons of every connection was considered. ISS decided to use the 8-Bolted
Extended End-Plate Moment Connection since it requires only bolting in field which reduces costs and
most of the welds are executed in shop, where we can expect higher QC. The specifications and design
procedure follow the Chapter 6 of the AISC 358-16. We evaluated the limits on prequalification from Table
6.1 of the AISC 358-16. The columns limitations are listed in section 6.3.2
The plastic mechanism of an 8-Bolted Extended End-Plate Moment Connection consists of “reinforce” the
beam at the column face using stiffeners at the top and bottom of the connection and relocate the plastic
hinge at the end of the reinforcement.
The dimensions considered in the design of the connections for the W24X84 and W24x76 beams are listed
in the Table 14. Refer to Appendix E for a detailed analysis of each limit state of the connection;
ISS-R3-2019-03-28 12
INTERNATIONAL STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS
The properties of the materials considered for the design of connections is summarized in Table 15.
Panel zone was considered as part of the design of the connection and according to the section J.10.6
from the AISC 360-16, the stability of the frame considering plastic deformation in the panel zone was
not considered in the analysis, hence we limit the behavior of the panel zone within the elastic range as
shown in Appendix E.
Figure 7 shows the location for the proposed connections and Figure 8 and Figure 9 shows the drawing
and detailing of the connection proposal.

8. Conclusions
For Special Moment Frames (SMF), issues with drift in the structure are always expected and this design
was not the exception to this rule. In our analysis, the inclusion of the ASCE-07 Section 12.8.6.2 for drift
computations guided us to a more economical solution, although more computation time was required
compared to traditional methods for this calculation. In the same line, and comparing to the previous
SCBF design, for this analysis we considered six (6) frames instead of two (2) in each orthogonal
direction to obtain reasonable shape profile for the elements. If we would have considered less
resisting-frames in the project, we would have faced problems of large shape profiles and we would had
not meet drift requirements.
As we stated before, the design was mainly controlled by drift requirements. In terms of design, the
elastic approach, following the guidelines indicated in the design code, resulted in demand-capacity
ratios for beams below to 0.85. For columns, the design was more focused to meet drift requirements
and later check strength and capacity limit states, according to the established design philosophy.
Finally, for the connections we decided to use 8-bolt extended end-plate moment connections because
they will lead to a more economical solution since it does not require welding in-situ. Moreover, higher
quality control is expected given that all the welds are executed at the shop instead of field executions
that are prone to a lot of uncertainty product of construction conditions.
In conclusion, the proposed design meet all the requirements established in ASCE-07, AISC 341-16 and
AISC 358-16. Even not being required by these regulations, a plastic analysis was performed in order to
verify the maximum expected forces in the columns and compare it with our findings. We obtained a
weight of one frame of the structure of 54.715 kip and for the whole resisting structural system
(considering all the twelve frames) is 656.58 kip, approximately 3.8 lb/ft2.
