18. DeformationHysteresis loops The ductility of the hold-down affects the system ductility.

19. 3.1.2 Influence of Steel Beam

20. DeformationLoad-deformation curve Steel beam increases the system stiffness and ductility.

21. 3.1.3 Influence of Vertical Connections

22. 3.1.3 Influence of Vertical Joint Vertical joint affects the performance of the system. DeformationLoad-deformation curve

23. (1) Stiffness of Vertical Joint (2) For a denser fastening case, the system derives a higher stiffness in the rigid case. (1) The ratio system stiffness increases with increasing the stiffness of the vertical joint.

24. (2) Strength of Vertical Joint (2) The first turning point of the curves from the infinite-connections- strength to zero-connection-strength cases increases with increasing the connection strength. (1) The curves of the two extreme cases form the boundaries of the other intermediate strength cases.

25. (3) Ductility of Vertical Joint - Static The first yield point increases with increasing ductility ratio of the connection.

26. (4) Ductility of Vertical Joint - Cyclic The system ductility and energy dissipation ability are improved by the ductile connections.

Semi-rigid FEA should be used, else the periods of the building would be under-estimated.

(2) Some external walls at axis 1 & 7 should be considered to address the torsional issue and the stiffness in N-S direction. (L=37.3+30.6=67.3m) (L=60.5m)
