A deductive design method to simplify ASCE 41-17 nonlinear static procedure preserving the adjusted collapse margin ratio of steel moment frames

The present study offers a deductive design procedure based on designs that have been optimally screened in accordance with ASCE 41-17's nonlinear static (NSP). subsequent phase inferred linear methodology from the philosophy underlying NSP of 41-17. deduced is applied to provide set optimal 6-story SMRF under two load patterns: code-based and first-mode shape patterns. by proposed are compared those optimized using FEMA p695 metrics. Consequently, adjusted collapse margin ratio evaluated for both approaches incremental dynamic analyses. A linearization algorithm suggested idealizing pushover curves. evaluation results demonstrate produces comparable without necessitating sophisticated inelastic analysis. Using lateral pattern, resulted greater safety against heavier respect applying pattern. yields an idea supports seismic prevent conflict between retrofit standards.
