Seismic Performance of Light Steel Buildings

Seismic Performance of Light Steel Buildings

Seismic Performance of Light Steel Buildings

(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find some information on the seismic performance of buildings with light steel construction, typical for pre-engineered storage or industrial facilities?

RE: Seismic Performance of Light Steel Buildings

When you perform a seismic analysis for a light steel construction you need to consider the modulus of elasticity of the material, also you need to consider the fatigue analysis at the connection points in the structure. Typically is recommended to evaluate it kind of structure using a moment resisting frame structure in combination with shear walls to absorb big part of the base shear force generated by the seismic reaction.
