Basis of Design
In according to AISC 341-16, designing of SMF should done , structural elements are expected to provide significant inelastic deformation capacity through flexural yielding of SMF beams and limited yielding of column panel zones.
System Requirements
Moment Ratio
Columns must be stronger than beams in order to prevent brittle collapse, except for the intended mechanism.
Stability Bracing of Beams
Beams should be braced to provide the requirements for highly ductile members in Section D1.2b.
Lb = 0.095ryE/(RyFy)
