SEISMIC EVALUATION OF THE STUDY FRAME<br />

291<br />

<strong>The</strong> example frame was designed by the proposed design procedure. Fig. 6 shows the resulting<br />

member sizes of the frame. In this study, the frame was designed by selecting an assumed 2% target<br />

drift, which is consistent with the drift limit imposed by the UBC, and all members with specified yield<br />

strength of 50 ksi. <strong>The</strong> members were designed by using AISC-LRFD specification (AISC, 1994).<br />

Design parameters for the example frame are shown in Table 1.<br />
