Collapse Vulnerability and Seismic Design of Metal Buildings (NEES-2010-0986)

<p><strong>Title:</strong> Collapse Vulnerability and Seismic Design of Metal Buildings (NEES-2010-0986)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2012</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>Metal Building Systems make up a large portion of new low-rise, non-residential construction today. These systems are designed to be extremely efficient and as such exhibit very different behavior than other steel building systems. The current building codes lump Metal Building Systems in with other types of steel building systems in terms of their design criteria.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong> N/A</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>Chia-Ming Uang</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>March 29, 2010 - June 30, 2010</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>University of California, San Diego, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>University of California, San Diego, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong> N/A</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Metal Building Systems, Shake Table, Lateral-Torsional Buckling, Tapered Beams, Steel Frame</p> <p><strong>Publications: </strong>"Earthquake Simulator Testing of Metal Building Systems"</p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
