Appendix A Test frame fabrication drawings
This appendix provides the drawings that were provided to the fabricators to fabricate the
test frame. The drawings for the first-storey brace are included after the drawings for the
rest of the frame because the original intent was to lock the SCED brace closed for tests in
the 0V configurations. A conventional brace was used instead after calibration of the
SCED brace showed that the planned lock-off device was not effective.

Step 4: Weld stiffening andlock-off plates as shown.
NOTE: the tendon will remaininside the SCED brace duringwelding. Because the tendonmay be damaged by temperaturesover 200C, each welding passshould be done as quickly aspossible, and cooling time shouldbe allowed between welds.
Step 6: Install SCED brace inframe as shown, tighteningall 3/4" bolts using theturn-of-nut method to ensurea slip-critical connection.
To lock off the brace, installthe lock-off plates with 1" boltsas shown, tightening using theturn-of-nut method to ensurea slip-critical connection.
Step 5: Retension strand andretorque internal friction bolts.Calibrate using test rig (separateset of drawings). Targets havenot yet been finalized.

D Design of example buildings
This appendix presents detailed calculations for the design of the example structures that
are discussed in Chapter 8. The performance-based method is used for the design of each
base rocking joint, and key results are compared to what would be obtained using the
code-consistent approach.
D.1 Two-storey building
D.1.1 Step 0: Establishing design parameters
The building footprint, locations of seismic force resisting systems, and seismic loading
parameters are given in Chapter 8. To avoid amplification of column forces while rocking
(Section 7.4.1), the rocking frame will not be designed to carry any gravity load. There-
fore, in order to maintain the layout of the gravity system, the rocking frame will be
designed with a width of 5.18 m (17 ft) between centrelines of vertical elements, so as to
fit between two gravity columns. Because the rocking system is relatively squat, post-ten-
sioning bars will be used rather than tendons in order to maximize the displacement
capacity of the system prior to post-tensioning rupture. Energy dissipation will be pro-
vided using a friction device.

D Design of example buildings
D.1.2 Step 1: Design of base rocking joint
Determination of displacement limits
Having established the key design parameters, the first step of the performance-based
design methodology is to determine the limiting peak displacement of the equivalent
SDOF at the IO and CP performance levels, as described in Section 7.3.3. At the IO per-
formance level, equation 7.10 suggests a maximum allowable SDOF displacement of
1.2%. The maximum allowable displacement is also related to the post-tensioning proper-
ties according to equation 7.11. In order to maximize the displacement capacity of the
system before the post-tensioning yields, it will be placed at the centre of the frame
( m or 8.5 ft) and will extend over the full height of the frame
( m or 20 ft). The yield strain of post-tensioning bars is approximately 0.004,
the modulus of elasticity is 205 GPa (29700 ksi), and the ultimate strength is 1030 MPa
(150 ksi) [DSI 2006]. Using equation 7.11, the maximum SDOF displacement prior to
PT yielding is 0.94%, even if no prestress is applied. Rather than meet this strict require-
ment, the decision is made to allow some limited yielding of the post-tensioning bars at
the IO performance level. For varying levels of prestress, Table D.1 shows the expected
inelastic strain in the bars at a peak displacement of 1.2%. Because a friction energy dissi-
pation system is to be used, no displacement limits are required to prevent deterioration of
the energy dissipation at the IO performance level.
At the CP performance level, equation 7.13 limits the allowable SDOF displacement to
2.5%. Taking the fracture strain of post-tensioning as 0.009 [DSI 2006], Table D.1 shows
the maximum allowable SDOF displacement for varying amounts of initial prestress.
Assuming an initial prestress of 25% of ultimate, the maximum allowable SDOF displace-
ment at the CP performance level is 1.82%. For a real structure, it may be advisable to
provide a lock-up device that will limit the base rotation to this quantity, so as to avoid
fracturing the post-tensioning. However, such a device is not designed for this frame in
order to understand what the demand would be without the lock-up device. Like the IO

performance level, the CP performance level does not require any displacement limits to
prevent deterioration of the energy dissipation.
Calculation of properties of SDOF model
Table D.2 summarizes the calculations used to develop an SDOF representation of the
two-storey structure. The seismic mass at each level was described in Section 8.1. The
effective height is calculated as:

Estimation of fundamental period
The initial period of the structure is estimated from equation 7.19 as 0.27 s.
Selection of target hysteretic parameters
Figure 7.8 is used to determine the hysteretic properties that will achieve the target dis-
placements. For a relatively squat structure, the post-tensioning will provide a relatively
large post-uplift stiffness, so the plots with are assumed for initial design.
Maximum energy dissipation of is selected. Reading from the bottom right plot
in Figure 7.8, the force reduction factor should be approximately 6 based on the CP
performance requirements. To meet the requirements of the IO performance level, a dis-
placement of mm is used to obtain .
The more critical value of is the same as is recommended for the code-consistent
approach (Section 7.3.4). However, the code-consistent approach assumes a smaller fun-
damental period and uses the total tributary mass for each frame, rather than the effective
mass. Both of these result in a larger elastic base shear with the code-consistent approach.

To ensure a fully self-centring response without providing unnecessary overstrength, a

The minimum expected base rocking moment is computed from equation 7.23:

As desired, this is slightly larger than the minimum required base rocking moment.
The normalized nonlinear stiffness is calculated from equation 7.27:
(D.9)
This is an order of magnitude larger than the assumed value of 10. However, Figure 7.8
shows little sensitivity to the post-uplift stiffness for short-period structures with ,
so no iteration is considered necessary.
The energy dissipation parameter is calculated from equation 7.28:
(D.10)
As desired, this is less than one.
Equation 7.6 is checked to avoid overturning at the CP drift of 1.82%, which is associated
with the ultimate strength of the post tensioning bars:

Checking for uplift due to wind loading
The base moment for each frame that is associated with the factored ULS wind load
according to ASCE 7-10 [ASCE 2010] is 370 kN-m, which is much less than .

Calculation of total tributary seismic weight
The total tributary weight is given in Table D.2 as 16525 kN for the building, or 8263 kN
per frame.
Calculation of base overturning moment at maximum expected base rotation
The maximum expected base rotation is taken as the target normalized displacement at
the CP performance level, 1.82%. This displacement is associated with the ultimate
strength of the post-tensioning bars, so the maximum base moment for each frame is cal-
culated from equation 7.40 as:

Estimation of fundamental period
The fundamental period of the structure is estimated from equation 7.19 as 0.27 s.

Since there are only two floor levels, only two modes will be used. Equation 7.39 is
checked to verify that vertical accelerations may be neglected:

Determination of spectral accelerations at periods of higher modes
The median-plus-standard-deviation spectral acceleration at a period of 0.091 s is read
from Figure 8.2 as 2.05 g.
Calculation of storey shear, overturning moment, and floor acceleration design envelopes
The first-mode floor acceleration, storey shear, and overturning moment envelopes are
calculated using equations 7.45-7.47, respectively, and are shown in Table D.3. The sec-
ond-mode accelerations, shears, and moments are calculated from equations 7.54, 7.63,
and 7.68, respectively, and are also shown in Table D.3. To calculate the accelerations asso-
ciated with the truncated higher modes using equation 7.74, the product of the peak
ground acceleration and the associated load factor, , is taken as the median-plus-
standard-deviation peak ground acceleration, 1.21 g. The resulting contribution to the
envelope is shown in Table D.3.
The modal contributions to each quantity are combined according to equations 7.70-
7.72, gives the results that are shown in Table D.4. The first mode accounts for most of the
design envelopes, although the second mode contributes some additional shears and mid-
height moment. The truncated higher modes have only a minor influence on the floor
acceleration envelope above the base, but they make the base acceleration equal to the
design peak ground acceleration. The shear at the upper level is not equal to the inertial
force associated with the estimated peak acceleration at the roof level because the pro-
posed design envelopes are based on the assumption of a continuous shear beam with an
infinite number of degrees of freedom, whereas the two-storey frame has only two
degrees of freedom.

Design of elements of frame, shear transfer devices, diaphragms, and collectors
Figure D.1 a shows a preliminary frame configuration and defines the joints of that frame.
The analysis assumes pinned connections at all locations and that the floor diaphragms are
connected to the rocking system at the centre of each level (nodes B and E). Therefore,
the uppermost horizontal elements are not expected to carry any load. To resist any nom-
inal loads that may develop, the same sections are specified for these elements as for those
at the level below.
Based on the free body diagram of the upper part of the frame that is shown in Figure
D.1 b, the braces at the upper level are designed for the axial compression associated with
the ultimate strength of the post-tensioning, together with the axial load due to the shear
at that level, assuming that both are divided equally between the two braces:
(D.15)
This brace compression causes the horizontal element at the first-storey level to act as a
tension tie, as seen from the free body diagram of joint F in Figure D.1 c. Therefore, the
design tension for this element is calculated as:
(D.16)
The braces at the lower level are designed for the combined compression due to the shear
at that level, assuming it is divided equally between the two braces (Figure D.1 d), and the
compression associated with the slip load of the friction energy dissipation device (Figure
D.1 e):

Assuming that the base bumpers act only in compression, Figure D.1 f shows a free body
diagram of joint G at the time of maximum tension in the connecting first-storey brace.
This tension is equal to the design compression force, so the design compression for the
lowermost horizontal element is:
(D.18)
Finally, the vertical elements will be designed to be continuous over both levels, even
though they are not expected to carry any load at the upper level other than the tributary
frame self-weight. Referring to Figure D.1 d, the vertical elements at the lower level are
designed for the moment couple associated with the capacity design moment at the base.
In addition, each vertical element must also carry half of the ultimate post-tensioning
force and half of the estimated self-weight of the upper half of the frame. The force from
the energy dissipation does not affect the design forces for these elements because it is
transferred to the foundation through the braces. Thus, the vertical element design com-
pression is calculated as:

Table D.5 summarizes these calculations, and Figure D.2 shows the final frame layout. The
self-weight of the frame as designed is 121 kN, which is less than the 218 kN that was
assumed in design. However, this difference is not significant relative to the quantities that
were calculated above.

loads at the ULS level, and that the deflection at the SLS level is less than the limit of

D.2 Six-storey building
D.2.1 Step 0: Establishing design parameters
Like the two-storey frame, the six-storey frame will not be designed to carry any gravity
load. Therefore, in order to fit between two gravity columns, the frame will be designed
with a width of 8.23 m (27 ft) between centrelines of vertical elements. An unbonded
monostrand post-tensioning system will be used, and energy dissipation will be provided
using either a cast steel yielding brace system [Gray et al. 2012] or a buckling-restrained
brace.
D.2.2 Step 1: Design of base rocking joint
Determination of displacement limits
At the IO performance level, equation 7.10 suggests a maximum allowable SDOF dis-
placement of 1.2%. The energy dissipation will be located at the centre of the frame
( m or 13.5 ft). It is assumed that the energy dissipation can sustain repeated
loading with a maximum displacement of 40 mm at the IO performance level. Equation
7.12 shows that this requires limiting the base rotation to .
For this structure, the post-tensioning is limited to the elastic range more easily than it was
for the two-storey frame, so the post-tensioning will be located along the two column
lines ( m or 27 ft) but will still extend over the full height of the frame
( m or 90 ft). The yield stress, ultimate stress, and modulus of elasticity for
the unbonded tendons as 1670 MPa (243 ksi), 1860 MPa (1270 ksi), and 195000 MPa
(28500 ksi), respectively [DSI 2006]. Table D.6 summarizes the maximum expected strain
in the post-tensioning at a base rotation of , computed using equation
7.11. Assuming a yield strain of %, any prestress up to 60% of the
ultimate strength of the tendons will avoid yield at a base rotation of 0.97%.

D-13
D Design of example buildings
At the CP performance level, equation 7.13 limits the allowable SDOF displacement to
2.5%. From equation 7.15, the displacement demand on the energy dissipation is 103 mm
at the CP performance level, which is assumed to be acceptable based on testing of cast
steel yielding brace systems with a similar force capacity to the final design [Gray et al.
2012]. Table D.6 summarizes the maximum expected strain in the post-tensioning at a
base rotation of 2.5%, computed using equation 7.11. In previous tests of controlled rock-
ing systems by Eatherton et al. [2010b], some post-tensioning wires fractured beginning at
strains as low as 0.85%. However, Ma [2010] reached post-tensioning elongations of 1.3%
without fracture of any wires by stressing the strands to 70% of their ultimate strength
before anchoring them at 36% of their ultimate strength. For this reason, it is assumed that
any amount of prestress less than 60% of the ultimate stress will not lead to fracture at a
base rotation of 2.5%.
Calculation of properties of SDOF model
Table D.7 summarizes the calculations that were used to develop an SDOF representation
of the six-storey structure. The seismic mass at each level was described in Section 8.1.

The initial period of the structure is estimated from equation 7.19 as 0.84 s.

Figure 7.8 is used to determine the hysteretic properties that are necessary to achieve the
target displacements. The normalized post-uplift stiffness is estimated as an intermediate
value of for initial design, and maximum self-centring energy dissipation of
is selected. Reading from the bottom centre plot in Figure 7.8, the force reduc-
tion factor can be greater than 100 and still meet the displacement target at the CP per-
formance level. To meet the requirements of the IO performance level, a displacement of

tion 7.7 gives the strain in the post-tensioning as 0.99%, which is more than the yield
strain but less than the assumed ultimate strain of 1.3%. Conservatively underestimating
the force in each tendon as the yield force of 234.5 kN and neglecting any strain harden-
ing of the energy dissipation:
(D.30)
In addition, equation 7.9 is checked to avoid global uplift. It is foreseen that the require-
ments of this equation could be relaxed somewhat to allow some small amount of global
uplift without damage to the frame. In order to provide data on how this would influence
the response, a strain hardening ratio of 1.0 is assumed for the energy dissipator, even
though the strength of this element is expected increase due to strain hardening.
(D.31)
Checking for uplift due to wind loading
The base moment for each frame that is associated with the factored ULS wind load
according to the Directional Procedure of ASCE 7-10 [ASCE 2010] is 13 400 kN-m,
which is less than . Therefore, rocking is not expected under any considered
level of wind loading.
D.2.3 Step 2: Capacity design of system
Calculation of total tributary seismic weight
The total tributary weight is given in Table D.7 as 56900 kN for the building, or
28400 kN per frame.
Calculation of base overturning moment at maximum expected base rotation
The maximum expected base rotation is taken as the target normalized displacement at
the CP performance level, 2.5%. The post-tensioning force is conservatively estimated as

equal to its ultimate strength. Unlike the global uplift check above, where strain hardening
of the energy dissipator was neglected, the strain hardening ratio is estimated as 1.5 [Choi
et al. 2008] for the capacity design of the system. This is done because it is not envisioned
that this requirement could be relaxed, since this could result in damage to the frame.
The maximum base moment for each frame is calculated from equation 7.40 as:
(D.32)
Estimation of fundamental period
The fundamental period of the structure is estimated from equation 7.19 as 0.84 s.
Checking whether response can be computed from three modes
Using the properties of the design spectrum from Table 8.2, the corner period of the
acceleration spectrum is calculated from equation 7.42:
(D.33)
Since the fundamental period is less than three times , equation 7.41 is satisfied and no
more than three modes are required.
Equation 7.39 is checked to verify that vertical accelerations may be neglected:
(D.34)
Estimation of periods of second and third modes
The second- and third-mode periods are estimated from equations 7.43 and 7.44 as
0.280 s and 0.168 s, respectively.

Determination of spectral accelerations at periods of higher modes
The median-plus-standard-deviation spectral accelerations at periods of 0.280 s and
0.168 s are read from Figure 8.2 as 2.98 g and 2.73 g, respectively.
Calculation of storey shear, overturning moment, and floor acceleration design envelopes
The first-mode floor acceleration, storey shear, and overturning moment envelopes are
calculated using equations 7.45-7.47, respectively, and are shown in Table D.8. The sec-
ond- and third-mode accelerations, shears, and moments are calculated from equations
7.54-7.55, 7.63-7.64, and 7.68-7.69, respectively, and are also shown in Table D.8. To cal-
culate the accelerations associated with the truncated higher modes using equation 7.74,
the product of the peak ground acceleration and the associated load factor, , is
taken as the median-plus-standard-deviation peak ground acceleration, 1.21 g. The result-
ing contribution to the envelope is shown in Table D.8.
The modal contributions to each quantity are combined according to equations 7.70-
7.72, giving the results that are shown in Table D.9. The first mode accounts for most of
the base overturning moment, but the second mode dominates most other response quan-
tities. The truncated higher modes have only a minor influence on the floor acceleration
envelope above the base, but they make the base acceleration equal to the design peak
ground acceleration.

Design of elements of frame, shear transfer devices, diaphragms, and collectors
Each brace is designed to carry half of the larger of the shear at the floor level above and
that at the floor level below. In addition, the first-storey braces are designed to also carry
half the compression associated with the maximum expected force in the energy dissipa-
tion element, assuming a strain hardening ratio of 1.5. Table D.10 summarizes these calcu-
lations, together with the members that are chosen to satisfy the requirements of AISC
360-10 [AISC 2010]. No attempt is made to improve constructability by maintaining the
same sections along the height of the building.
At each level, the moment demand is taken as the larger of the moments at the storeys
above and below (Table D.9) and is designed to be carried as a tension-compression cou-
ple between the two columns. In addition, the top two levels of columns are designed for
the ultimate strength of the post-tensioning at each column, which is slightly more load
than is expected at the design base rotation of 2.5% at the CP performance level. For the
lower four storeys, since only one of the two sets of post-tensioning is elongated at a time,

the compression due to post-tensioning is taken as the average of the ultimate post-ten-
sioning strength from one column line with the initial post-tensioning force from the
other column line. Finally, the assumed self-weight of the frame is prorated by the storey
level and assumed to be divided equally between the two columns. The columns are
designed to be continuous over two storey levels. Table D.11 summarizes these calcula-
tions, together with the members that are chosen to satisfy the requirements of AISC 360-
10 [AISC 2010].
Like the two-storey frame, the six-storey frame is assumed to be detailed such that the
floor diaphragms are connected to the rocking system at the centre of each level. Since the
braces are designed to carry this load, the horizontal elements at levels one, three, and five
are not designed for any load. At these levels, the section for the storey above is used. The
horizontal element at the base level is designed for the horizontal component of the brace
design force at that level, as was explained for the two-storey structure. Table D.12 sum-
marizes these calculations, together with the members that are chosen to satisfy the
requirements of AISC 360-10 [AISC 2010].

Figure D.3 shows the final frame layout. The self-weight of the frame is 528 kN, which is
nearly three times the 189 kN that was assumed in design. This additional self-centring
component of the base moment resistance is expected only to improve the global
response, and it has no substantial influence on the capacity design of the frame.
Checking response to wind loading
Calculations not shown verified that the members are adequate to carry the factored wind
loads at the ULS level, and that the deflection at the SLS level is less than the limit of

D.2.4 Step 2a (optional): Design of higher mode mitigation
Deciding whether to mitigate higher mode effects and selecting mitigation technique
Table D.8 showed that the second mode contributed more the capacity design envelopes
for this frame than the first mode did. In order to mitigate these higher mode effects, an
alternative configuration with two rocking sections is also considered. Because the largest
second-mode moment is at the second storey (Table D.8), the upper rocking joint is
placed there. Other locations could also be considered, but the greatest effect is expected
by placing the joint where the moment demand is the greatest.
Design of upper rocking joint
The base rocking moment of the system was calculated in equation D.27 as 15690 kN-m.
Therefore, equation 7.75 states that the rocking moment at the upper joint should be:
(D.35)
From equations 7.76 and D.29, the energy dissipation parameter at the upper rocking
joint should be at least 0.94. The moment resistance contributed by the self-weight of the
frame is estimated by assuming a uniform distribution of the frame weight from equation
D.24:
(D.36)
The post-tensioning tendons that were already designed will continue across the upper
joint and will contribute the same overturning moment resistance there as they do at the
base:
(D.37)
Therefore, equation 7.76 requires:

so . This will be provided in the same way as at the base, with a
central energy dissipation element that has a yield strength of 1800 kN such that:
(D.39)
In addition, equation 7.9 is checked to avoid global uplift. As at the base joint, a strain
hardening ratio of 1.0 is assumed so as to demonstrate how this influences the response.
(D.40)
As shown in Figure D.4, the braces at the second storey are reversed to provide a lower
anchorage for this energy dissipator.
Modification of design envelopes
The capacity design forces for the frame with two rocking sections are calculated using the
maximum base moment from equation D.32, together with a moment at the upper rock-
ing joint that is calculated with the same assumptions as at the base:
(D.41)
Linear interpolation between at the base, at the upper rocking joint,
and zero at the roof gives the values for the first-mode overturning moments that are sum-
marized in Table D.13. Although these values are larger than they were with rocking only
at the base, it will be seen that the total design overturning moments are less than they
were in that case. The moments in the second and third modes are calculated from equa-
tions 7.68 and 7.69 with for the lower section and

D Design of example buildings
Design of elements of frame, shear transfer devices, diaphragms, and collectors
The member capacity design forces are calculated in a similar manner to what was done
for the previous two examples. Relative to the previous six-storey frame design, the main
differences are:
• The second-storey braces are oriented in the opposite direction in order to provide an
anchorage point for the energy dissipator at the upper rocking joint.
• To accommodate the upper joint, the braces above the upper rocking joint are slightly
shorter and at a different inclination.
• Considering the transfer of forces through the upper rocking joint, the vertical mem-
bers below the upper rocking joint are designed for the combined load due to the
weight of the upper rocking section, the maximum expected post-tensioning force
from one set of tendons and the initial post-tensioning force from the other set, and
the overstrength force in the energy dissipator.
• The beam above the upper rocking joint is designed for the horizontal component of
the design force in the third-storey brace.
• The beam below the upper rocking joint is designed to carry the third-storey shear in
tension.
• The first-storey beam is designed for the horizontal component of the design force in
the second-storey brace.

D.3 12-storey building
D.3.1 Step 0: Establishing design parameters
Like the other frames, the 12-storey frame will not be designed to carry any gravity load.
Therefore, in order to fit between two gravity columns, the frame will be designed with a
width of 8.23 m (27 ft) between centrelines of vertical elements. An unbonded mono-
strand post-tensioning system will be used. It will be seen that no supplemental energy
dissipation is needed for the 12-storey frame.
D.3.2 Step 1: Design of base rocking joint
Determination of displacement limits
At the IO performance level, equation 7.10 suggests a maximum allowable SDOF dis-
placement of 1.2%. At the CP performance level, equation 7.13 limits the allowable
SDOF displacement to 2.5%. The post-tensioning will be located along the two column
lines ( m or 27 ft). If the post-tensioning is anchored at mid-height of the
frame ( m or 90 ft), the maximum initial tendon prestress to avoid tendon
fracture at the CP performance level will be the same as for the six-storey frame: 60% of
the ultimate tensile strength. At the IO performance level, assuming a maximum base
rotation of 1.2% implies a maximum allowable initial prestress of 52% according to equa-
tion 7.11. This limit is easily achieved, so there is no need to extend the post-tensioning
over the full height of the frame.

Calculation of properties of SDOF model
Table D.19 summarizes the calculations used to develop an SDOF representation of the
12-storey structure. The seismic mass at each level was described in Section 8.1. The
effective height is calculated as:
(D.42)
The centroid of the tributary weight is located at:
(D.43)
Assuming base rotations of 2.5% and 1.2% at the CP and IO performance levels, respec-
tively, the design displacement at each level is calculated from equation 7.17 as 928 mm
and 445 mm, respectively.
The effective mass is found from equation 7.18 as:

Estimation of fundamental period
The initial period of the structure is estimated from equation 7.19 as 1.41 s.
Selection of target hysteretic parameters
Figure 7.8 is used to determine the hysteretic properties necessary to achieve the target
displacements. The normalized post-uplift stiffness is estimated as a low value of
for initial design. Even with no supplemental energy dissipation ( ),
the force reduction factor can be greater than 100 and still meet the displacement tar-
get at the CP performance level (top left plot in Figure 7.8). At the IO performance level,
entering Figure 7.8 with a displacement target of mm, the force reduc-
tion factor can be greater than without any supplemental
energy dissipation and still meet the displacement target.
The more critical value of is large enough that the minimum base rocking
moment is controlled by wind design requirements. This would not be the case according
to the code-consistent approach (Section 7.3.4).
Determination of minimum base rocking moment
The base overturning moment under wind loads is calculated using the Directional
Method of ASCE 7-10 [ASCE 2010], assuming 2% inherent damping under wind loads.
The factored base overturning moment is 32 800 kN-m per frame in the short direction,
which corresponds to based on the effective mass of the SDOF system, or
based on the total tributary seismic mass. Since this is less than the critical force
reduction factor for seismic design, the structure is designed to prevent uplift of the frames
that act in the short direction at the wind ULS, and the same design is used for the long
direction.

Estimation of contribution from self-weight
Since the frame will not be designed to carry any of the gravity load of the structure, the
moment resistance contributed by the self-weight of the frame is estimated (see Section
7.3.3) as:
(D.45)
The associated self-weight is .
Design of energy dissipation
No energy dissipation is needed to meet the design requirements for the 12-storey frame.
Design of post-tensioning
Using equation 7.26 with the post-tensioning at the edges of the frame, the target pre-
stressing force is calculated as:
(D.46)
This prestress will be provided using 30 0.6” Dywidag tendons with a prestress of 50% of
the ultimate tensile strength, such that .
Checking of design assumptions and other requirements
The post-tensioning and was selected to be consistent with the assumptions that were
made to determine the displacement limits of the system.
The minimum expected base rocking moment is computed from equation 7.23:
(D.47)
As desired, this is slightly larger than the minimum required base rocking moment.

The normalized nonlinear stiffness is calculated from equation 7.27:
(D.48)
This is between 0.1 s-2 and 1.0 s-2, and Figure 7.8 shows that can be taken as greater
than 100 in either case without any supplemental energy dissipation and still meet the
seismic displacement targets. Therefore, no iteration is required.
Equation 7.6 is checked to avoid overturning at the CP drift of 2.5%. At this drift, equa-
tion 7.7 gives the strain in the post-tensioning as 0.99%, which is more than the yield
strain but less than the assumed ultimate strain of 1.3%. Conservatively underestimating
the force in each tendon as the yield force of 234.5 kN and neglecting any strain harden-
ing of the energy dissipation:
(D.49)
Global uplift will not occur because there is no supplemental energy dissipation, so equa-
tion 7.9 need not be checked.
Checking for uplift due to wind loading
As noted previously, the base rocking moment was selected to avoid rocking under the
factored ULS wind loads.
D.3.3 Step 2: Capacity design of system
Although seismic considerations did not govern the design of the base rocking joint, they
do govern the design of the members of the rocking frame. The following sections

Calculation of total tributary seismic weight
The total tributary weight is given in Table D.19 as 117400 kN for the building, or
29400 kN per frame.
Calculation of base overturning moment at maximum expected base rotation
The maximum expected base rotation is taken as the target normalized displacement at
the CP performance level, 2.5%. Conservatively estimating the post-tensioning force as its
ultimate strength, the maximum base moment for each frame is calculated from equation
7.40 as:
(D.50)
Estimation of fundamental period
The fundamental period of the structure is estimated from equation 7.19 as 1.41 s.
Checking whether response can be computed from three modes
The corner period of the acceleration spectrum was calculated in equation D.33 as 0.6 s.
Since the fundamental period is less than three times , equation 7.41 is satisfied and no
more than three modes are required.
Equation 7.39 is checked to verify that vertical accelerations may be neglected:
(D.51)
Estimation of periods of second and third modes
The second- and third-mode periods are estimated from equations 7.43 and 7.44 as
0.470 s and 0.282 s, respectively.

Determination of spectral accelerations at periods of higher modes
The median-plus-standard-deviation spectral accelerations at periods of 0.470 s and
0.282 s are read from Figure 8.2 as 3.07 g and 2.97 g, respectively.
Calculation of storey shear, overturning moment, and floor acceleration design envelopes
The first-mode floor acceleration, storey shear, and overturning moment envelopes are
calculated using equations 7.45-7.47, respectively, and are shown in Table D.20. The sec-
ond- and third-mode accelerations, shears, and moments are calculated from equations
7.54-7.55, 7.63-7.64, and 7.68-7.69, respectively, and are also shown in Table D.20. To
calculate the accelerations associated with the truncated higher modes using equation
7.74, the product of the peak ground acceleration and the associated load factor, ,
is taken as the median-plus-standard-deviation peak ground acceleration, 1.21 g. The
resulting contribution to the envelope is given in Table D.20.
The modal contributions to each quantity are combined according to equations 7.70-

that were chosen to satisfy the requirements of AISC 360-10 [AISC 2010]. No attempt is
made to improve the constructability of the frame by maintaining the same sections along
the height of the building.
At each level, the moment demand is taken as the larger of the moments at the storeys
above and below (Table D.21) and is designed to be carried as a tension-compression cou-
ple between the two columns. In addition, the fifth and sixth levels of columns are
designed for the ultimate strength of the post-tensioning at that column location, which is
slightly more load than is expected at the design base rotation of 2.5% at the CP perfor-
mance level. For the lower four storeys, since only one of the two sets of post-tensioning
is elongated at a time, the compression due to post-tensioning is taken as the average of
the ultimate post-tensioning strength from one column line with the initial post-tension-
ing force from the other column line. Finally, the assumed self-weight of the frame is pro-
rated by the storey level and assumed to be divided equally between the two columns. The
columns are designed to be continuous over two storey levels. Table D.23 summarizes
these calculations, together with the members that are chosen to satisfy the requirements
of AISC 360-10 [AISC 2010].

diaphragms are connected to the rocking system at the centre of each level. Since the

braces are designed to carry this load, the horizontal elements at all odd-numbered levels
are not designed for any load. At these levels, the section for the storey above is used. The
horizontal element at the base level is designed for the horizontal component of the brace
design force at that level, as was explained for the two-storey structure. Table D.24 sum-
marizes these calculations, together with the members that are chosen to satisfy the
requirements of AISC 360-10 [AISC 2010].
Figure D.5 shows the final frame layout. The self-weight of the frame is 1259 kN, which is
3.2 times the 399 kN that was assumed in design. When the calculations shown above are
repeated with this adjustment in the assumed self-weight, the factored resistance of every
member is at least 99% of the estimated capacity design demand. This is considered colse
enough to omit a second design iteration. It would be possible to reduce the initial post-
tensioning force because of the increased base moment resistance provided by the self-
weight of the frame, but this is not done for simplicity.

Calculations not shown verified that the members are adequate to carry the factored wind
loads at the ULS level, and that the deflection at the SLS level is less than the limit of
0.25% of the height [CSA 2009].
D.3.4 Step 2a (optional): Design of higher mode mitigation
Deciding whether to mitigate higher mode effects and selecting mitigation technique
Table D.20 showed that the second mode contributed more the capacity design envelopes
for the 12-storey frame than the first mode did. Like the six-storey frame, an alternative
configuration with two rocking sections is considered, with the upper rocking joint at the
fifth storey because the second-mode moment is largest there (Table D.20).
An alternative higher mode mitigation technique is to replace the first-storey braces with
SCED braces. This option is considered as a third design for the 12-storey frame.
Design of upper rocking joint
The base rocking moment of the system was calculated in equation D.47 as 33800 kN-m.
Therefore, equation 7.75 states that the rocking moment at the upper joint should be:
(D.52)
From equation 7.76, no energy dissipation is required at the upper rocking joint.
The moment resistance contributed by the self-weight of the frame is estimated by assum-
ing a uniform distribution of the frame weight from equation D.45:

The post-tensioning tendons that were already designed will continue across the upper
joint and will contribute the same overturning moment resistance there as they do at the
base:
(D.54)
This is more than the required moment resistance at the upper rocking joint, so no sup-
plemental energy dissipation is needed to generate enough moment resistance at the upper

tion 7.9 to avoid global uplift.
Modification of design envelopes
The capacity design forces for the frame with two rocking sections are calculated using the
maximum base moment from equation D.50, together with a moment at the upper rock-
ing joint that is calculated with the same assumptions as at the base:
(D.55)
Linear interpolation between at the base, at the upper rocking joint,
and zero at the roof gives the values for the first-mode overturning moments that are sum-
marized in Table D.25. The moments in the second and third modes are calculated from

D Design of example buildings
Design elements of frame, shear transfer devices, diaphragms, and collectors
The member capacity design forces are calculated in a similar manner to what was done
for the previous examples. Relative to the previous 12-storey frame design, the main dif-
ferences are:
• To accommodate the upper joint, the braces above the upper rocking joint are slightly
shorter and at a different inclination.
• Considering the transfer of forces through the upper rocking joint, the fifth- and
sixth-storey vertical members are designed for the combined load due to the weight of
the upper rocking section, the maximum expected post-tensioning force from one set
of tendons, and the initial post-tensioning force from the other set.
• The beams above and below the upper rocking joint are designed to carry the sixth-
storey shear in compression and in tension, respectively.
Tables D.28-D.30 summarize these calculations, together with the members that were
chosen to satisfy the requirements of AISC 360-10 [AISC 2010]. The columns are
designed in two-storey sections, but no other attempt is made to improve constructability
by maintaining the same sections along the height of the building.

Design of nonlinear braces
The base shear associated with the target activation load is given by equation 7.78 as:
(D.56)
and the target brace activation force is calculated from equation 7.77 as:
(D.57)
From equation 7.79, the SCED brace should have an energy dissipation parameter of at
least . A preliminary design of the SCED brace that satisfies these require-
ments was evaluated using the SCED Mechanics Simulator developed by Erochko [2013]
and found to have an activation load of 3100 kN, an initial stiffness of 1550 kN/mm, a
post-activation stiffness ratio of , and an energy dissipation parameter of
. The brace is designed with an external fuse that slips at a brace elongation of
30 mm, which corresponds to a first-storey drift of 1.0% and to a brace force of 5700 kN.
Modification of design envelopes
The capacity design forces for the other members of the frame are calculated as described
in Section 7.4.4. The higher mode reduction factor is calculated as:
(D.58)
where the unreduced second-mode base shear is taken from Table D.21. Table D.31 sum-
marizes the capacity design calculations of the shear force and overturning moment enve-
lopes. The first-mode envelopes are the same as in Table D.20, the second-mode
envelopes are the values from Table D.20 multiplied by , and the third-mode envelopes
are zero. Table D.32 gives the total design acceleration, shear, and overturning moment
envelopes, calculated using equations 7.70-7.72.
