Wind Drift Design of Steel‐framed Buildings: State‐of‐the‐art Report
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 9
Abstract
In 1984 the ASCE Committee on Design of Steel Building Structures created a task committee to investigate the state of the art of designing for drift of steel‐framed buildings. To accomplish this task, a poll of structural engineers was taken to determine the drift control and philosophies that are in use today. The intent of the questionnaire used in this survey was to summarize design practice regarding the need to control steel‐building drift and considerations used for this task. This paper summarizes the results of that poll. It is evident that structural engineers vary considerably in their practice in this aspect of their field.
