Evaluation of Seismic Design Parameters for Metal Buildings with Heavy Wall and Heavy Roof in High Seismic Zones
The objective of this paper is to explore the seismic performance of metal building systems when they are designed as steel ordinary moment frames (OMFs) but have wall and roof dead loads that exceed prescriptive limits in the United States’ loads standard (ASCE 7). A set of archetype frames—spanning both clear span an...
