Evaluation of seismic behaviour of steel special moment frame buildings with vertical irregularities
This paper concentrates on investigating the seismic behaviours of vertically irregular steel special moment frame (SMF) buildings by comparison with the regular counterpart. All buildings in this study were assumed to be located in Los Angeles, and subjected to 20 earthquake ground motions with a seismic hazard level of 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years. The beam–column connections of the buildings were modelled to consider the panel zone deformation. In addition, a ductile connection model accompanied by strength degradation was incorporated to the analysis programme in an effort to obtain more accurate response results. Three types of irregularities (mass, stiffness and strength irregularity) specified as vertical irregularities in the IBC 2000 provisions were imposed to the original building. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses were performed, and the confidence levels of which the performance objective will be satisfied were calculated as well. The effects of different irregularity types and levels on the seismic behaviours of the buildings were investigated and discussed in terms of the height‐wise distribution of storey drifts, maximum storey drift demands, global collapse storey drift capacities and confidence levels.
