Ductility in Steel Structures:
Yielding
Developing Ductile Behavior:
•
Choose frame elements ("fuses") that will yield in anearthquake; e.g. beams in moment resisting frames, braces in concentrically braced frames, links in eccentrically braced frames, etc.
•
Detail "fuses" to sustain large inelastic deformations prior tothe onset of fracture or instability (i.e. , detail fuses for ductility).
•
Design all other frame elements to be stronger than the fuses,i.e., design all other frame elements to develop the plastic capacity of the fuses.

8.2 Classification of Sections for Local Buckling
Local buckling of members can significantly affect both strength and ductility of the member.
Members of the SLRS that are expected to experience significant inelastic action (e.g. beams in SMF, braces in SCBF, links in EBF, etc), must satisfy strict width-thickness limits to assure adequate ductility can be developed prior to local buckling.
Such members must be s eis mically compact.

8.3 Column Strength
When P u / P n > 0.4 (where P u is computed without
consideration of the amplified seismic load )
Then, the required axial compressive strength and tensile strength of the column, considered in the
absence of any applied moment, shall be determined using the load combinations including the amplified seismic load:
(1.2 + 0.2 SDS) D + Ωo QE + 0.5L +0.2S
AISC Seismic Provisions:
8.3 Column Strength (cont)
Exception:
The required axial compressive and tensile strength of a column need not exceed:
a) The maximum load transferred to the column
considering 1.1R y times the nominal strengths of
the connecting beam or brace elements
b) The limit as determined from the resistance of the foundation to overturning uplift.
