This webinar provides an introduction to design of seismic force-resisting systems in steel-framed buildings, intended to complement the design problems in Chapter 9 of the FEMA P-1051 NEHRP Recommended Design Provisions: Design Examples. Topics include the design of ordinary concentrically braced frames, special concentrically braced frames, and special moment frames.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completing this course, you will be able to:

• Learn NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions;
• Learn the lasted seismic provisions for steel buildings;
• Learn the steel behavior under seismic forcers; and
• Learn different seismic force-resisting systems for steel buildings.
