Collapse Risk of Steel Special Moment Frames per FEMA P695

February 5, 2020
Author(s)
Matthew S. Speicher, Jazalyn D. Dukes, Kevin K. Wong
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) performance-based seismic design standard, ASCE 41, contains methodologies used by practicing engineers to assess existing buildings and to design new buildings. In 2015, the National Institute of Standards

The Blind Side: Using Canned Loading Protocols in Seismic Testing

June 17, 2019
Author(s)
Matthew S. Speicher, Bruce F. Maison
The seismic behavior of a building component (e.g., shear wall) is a fundamental attribute engineers need to assess the earthquake performance of a building. It is no surprise that component behavior is often dependent on the loading history. Repeatedly

Using FEMA P695 to Interpret ASCE 41 Seismic Performance of Special Moment Frames

June 25, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew S. Speicher, Jazalyn D. Dukes, Kevin K. Wong
ASCE 41 contains methodologies used by practicing engineers for the assessment of existing buildings and the design of new buildings. The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently completed a study investigating the relationship between ASCE

ASCE/SEI 41 Predicted Performance of Newly Designed BRBFs

January 8, 2017
Author(s)
Matthew Speicher, John Harris
Structural engineers in the United States have turned to performance-based design methodologies for design of new buildings in order to find improved design solutions as compared to those obtained using prescriptive design provisions of current model
