Alternative Seismic Systems [M8]

This session is aimed at demystifying the qualification of alternative seismic force resisting systems using ASCE 7-16, the new ICC AC494 and the FEMA P-695 methodology. A new dual system consisting of steel moment frames and steel braced frames as well as a new steel braced frame system with fuse element connectors will be presented as examples. You will also learn the available paths for qualification of moment-frame systems as compared to other steel systems.
