STR.S2 - Steel Braced Frame
The following models are available:
STR.S2.HC | Structural, Steel Braced Frame, Low-Rise, High-Code
Structural components represent the structural system in the building.
Structural System: These buildings are similar to steel moment frame buildings except that the vertical components of the lateral force-resisting system are braced frames rather than moment frames.
Low-Rise Building with 1-3 stories.
Design Level Approximate Basis:
Post-1975 construction in UBC Seismic Zone 4, NEHRP Map Area 7.
Suggested Block Size: 1 EA (round up to integer quantity)
STR.S2.LC | Structural, Steel Braced Frame, Low-Rise, Low-Code
Structural components represent the structural system in the building.
Structural System: These buildings are similar to steel moment frame buildings except that the vertical components of the lateral force-resisting system are braced frames rather than moment frames.
Low-Rise Building with 1-3 stories.
Design Level Approximate Basis:
1941-1975 construction in UBC Seismic Zone 2B, NEHRP Map Area 5
Post-1941 construction in UBC Seismic Zone 2A, NEHRP Map Area 4
Post-1975 construction in UBC Seismic Zone 1, NEHRP Map Area 2/3
Suggested Block Size: 1 EA (round up to integer quantity)
STR.S2.MC | Structural, Steel Braced Frame, Low-Rise, Moderate-Code
Structural components represent the structural system in the building.
Structural System: These buildings are similar to steel moment frame buildings except that the vertical components of the lateral force-resisting system are braced frames rather than moment frames.
Low-Rise Building with 1-3 stories.
Design Level Approximate Basis:
Post-1941 construction in UBC Seismic Zone 3, NEHRP Map Area 6
Post-1975 construction in UBC Seismic Zone 2B, NEHRP Map Area 5.
Suggested Block Size: 1 EA (round up to integer quantity)
STR.S2.PC | Structural, Steel Braced Frame, Low-Rise, Pre-Code
Structural components represent the structural system in the building.
Structural System: These buildings are similar to steel moment frame buildings except that the vertical components of the lateral force-resisting system are braced frames rather than moment frames.
Low-Rise Building with 1-3 stories.
Design Level: Approximate Basis: UBC Seismic Zone 0, NEHRP Map Area 1.
Pre-1941 construction in all other UBC and NEHRP areas.
Pre-Code damage functions are appropriate for modeling older buildings that were not designed for earthquake load, regardless of where they are located in the United States.
Suggested Block Size: 1 EA (round up to integer quantity)
