Jason Ericksen, S.E.
ICC Preferred Provider Course Number: 8921
Description
AISC 341-10 Chapter F contains the seismic design requirements for steel braced frame systems and ASCE 7-10 Table 12.2-1 sets forth the R values and associated limitations for the various types of steel braced frames. This seminar will address difficult-to-understand seismic detailing requirements for steel braced frame systems of the three main types: concentrically braced, eccentrically braced and buckling-restrained braced frames with emphasis on special concentrically braced frames. Topics of discussion include:
– R-value assignment and associated design requirements
– Revised width-to-thickness ratio limits for compression elements
– Analyses required to determine the required member and connection strengths
– Connection detailing requirements
An example will illustrate the analysis required to determine the required strength of the members in a special concentrically braced frame.
