Investigation of New Seismic Rules of Steel Structures in Performance Base Design

In this paper, seismic performance of steel moment frames is investigated. Linear static and nonlinear static and dynamic of time history analysis have been performed on the usual and special steel moment resistant of 5, 10, 15 stories frames according to third addition of 2800 certification and new seismic rules and the performance of the members have bring under consideration. In the time history analysis, scaled seismographs of Northridge, Lomaprieta and Imperial valley earthquakes are used. At the end, special moment frames that were designed according to new seismic rules, have been designed on performance, has placed on limitation of certification goals.
