Seismic Performance of Buildings Designed for Wind
This study examines the seismic performance of steel frame buildings designed for wind, without consideration of seismic loads. The prototype building from the 2013 AISC Design Examples is selected to illustrate the possible seismic behavior of a typical mid-rise steel building designed for moderate wind and low seismic loads. The results indicate that, in many areas of the central and eastern United States, moment-frame buildings designed for wind may provide adequate performance for serviceability in frequent and occasional seismic events. Reserve strength in the structural wind and gravity systems then provides sufficient life-safety protection and prevention against collapse for very rare events.
