| Abstract: | ▪ Steel structures are extensively used for construction of high-rise buildings ▪ Design of high-rise steel frame buildings is mainly governed by lateral loads generated by winds and/or earthquakes ▪ In case of seismic design, in order to ensure an economical design, plastic incursions of some members are allowed. In recent years, a new design methodology, called ▪ According to this approach, some members are designed and detailed for energy dissipation (e.g. beams) while others (i.e. columns) should possess adequate overstrength to avoid premature fracture which may lead to a partial or soft storey mechanism.
