Member Requirements

The following design checks for members that are part of the seismic force-resisting system (SFRS) are available in RFEM. The sections listed refer to Seismic Provisions AISC 341-16/22 [1].

• Width-to-Thickness Limitations [Section D1.1 and F1.5a]
• SCBF Stability Bracing of Beams – Required Strength & Stiffness [Sections F2.4b and D1.2a.1(b)]
• SCBF Stability Bracing of Beams – Maximum Spacing [Sections F2.4b and D1.2a.1(c)]
• Column Required Strength [Section D1.4a]
• Brace Slenderness Ratio [Section F1.5b for OCBF and F2.5b(a) for SCBF]

Width-to-Thickness Limitations for Ductility Requirements

The braces in OCBF are designated as moderately ductile members according to Section F1.5a. All members (braces, beams, columns) in SCBF are designated as highly ductile members according to Section F2.5a.

The braces in OCBF must satisfy the requirements of AISC Seismic Provisions Section D1.1 for moderately ductile members. As an exception according to Section F1.5a, braces in tension-only frames with L_c/r greater than 200 do not need to satisfy the ductility requirement. This design check is shown as EQ 1300 in RFEM (Image 1).

请注意： Tension-only frames are not permitted in SCBF as per Section F2.4d.

Stability Bracing of Beams in SCBF

The requirement for stability bracing is only applicable for beams in V- and inverted V-braced frames as per Section F2.4b [1]. The required strength and stiffness of the stability bracings are listed in the Stability Bracing by Member tab under “Seismic Requirements” (Image 2). These values can be compared to the calculated available strength and stiffness when designing the bracing members that frame into the beam. There are no design check details available (only references).

梁的稳定性支撑

The required strength, Pbr, is defined in Equation A-6-7 of Appendix 6 of AISC 360-16/22 [3]]:

请注意： Pr is not applicable to braced frames.

The required stiffness, βbr, is defined in Equation A-6-8 of Appendix 6 of AISC 360-16/22 [3]:

The maximum spacing of the stability bracing must satisfy the requirements of AISC 341-16/22 Section F2.4b, which refers to Section D1.2a.1(c):

The design check for the maximum spacing is presented together with the other member requirements in the Design Ratios on Members. The braced length, Lb, is the specified effective length for lateral-torsional buckling (LTB). The design check detail is shown in EQ 2100 (Image 3).

Column Required Strength

All columns that are part of the seismic force-resisting system (SFRS) are required to be designed with overstrength loads. In many cases, the amplified axial force does not need to be combined with the concurrent bending moments. The option to neglect all bending moments, shear, and torsion in columns for overstrength limit state is activated by default. This option can be deactivated in the Seismic Configuration.

For standard load combinations without overstrength from seismic load effect, the combined loading is checked according to AISC 360-16/22 Chapter H.

For load combinations with overstrength seismic load, Chapter H is not applied when the option to neglect all bending moments, shear, and torsion in columns for overstrength limit state is activated. Example 4.3.2 of the Seismic Design Manual [2] demonstrates the design using the controlling case from both load combinations, standard and overstrength.

Bending moments resulting from a load applied between points of lateral support can contribute to column buckling. Therefore, they are required to be considered concurrently with the axial loads by deactivating the option to neglect the moments (Image 4).

Brace Slenderness Ratio

For braces in V or Inverted V Frames in OCBF, the slenderness ratio L_c/r must be less than or equal to 4*√(E/F_y) according to Section F1.5b [1]. The intent is to limit the unbalanced forces that develop in framing members after brace buckling. This design check is shown as EQ 3300 in RFEM (Image 5).

For braces in X-configuration, the option to meet this requirement can be deactivated in the Seismic Configuration.

OCBF 支撑长细比验算

For braces in SCBF, the slenderness ratio L_c/r must be less than or equal to 200, according to Section F2.5b(a) [1]. This design check is shown as EQ 3310 in RFEM (Image 6).

Connection Requirements

The Seismic Requirements include the Required Connection Tensile Strength and the Required Connection Compressive Strength of the brace. They are listed in the Brace Connection by Member tab (Image 7). The design check details are not available for the connection strengths. However, the equations and standard references are listed in the table.
