Comparative Cost of Structures Using Moderately or Highly Ductile Steel Moment Frames
Publication: Structures Congress 2018: Buildings and Disaster Management
ABSTRACT
This paper compares the cost effectiveness and predicted seismic performance using a moderately-ductile (“Intermediate”) steel moment frame (IMF) with the cost and performance using a highly-ductile (“Special”) steel moment frame (SMF) for a large canopy structure at a hospital site, located in Seismic Design Category D in California, and considered an essential facility. Material and construction costs associated with IMF and SMF systems were compared based on actual project costs and national commercial cost data. The comparison showed that the higher response modification factor, R, associated with the SMF, reduced structural member sizes and material costs, as expected. Costs associated with seismic performance were predicted using the FEMA P-58 methodology. The results indicated that both the IMF and SMF systems performed similarly in terms of repair time. In terms of repair costs, performance was mixed. For the IMF system subjected to design basis earthquake (DBE) ground shaking there was an 11% chance that the canopy would be deemed unsafe.
