EN 1998‐1: Design Provisions for Steel Structures
For steel structures, the values of the behaviour factor depend on the structural system according to the relevant ductility classes considered by EC8‐1. This chapter details the design provisions for the main subsystems (e.g. moment resisting frames, concentrically braced frames, and eccentrically braced frames). It illustrates the structural typologies for steel buildings and explains steel mechanical properties (strength, ductility and toughness). A well designed seismic resistant structure should be characterized by a good balance between strength, stiffness and ductility between its members, connections and supports. The general design approach recommended by EC8 aims to control the inelastic structural behaviour by avoiding the formation of soft storey mechanisms and brittle failure modes. EC8‐1 provides general rules for all types of non‐dissipative connections in dissipative zones of the structure, in order to ensure sufficient overstrength and to avoid localization of plastic strains.
