Design Codes for New Steel Structures Eurocode 3 | permission granted by CEN CENELEC When there is no danger for earthquake actions, there is only need for at least low ductility, although even in those cases the preference is to have at least medium ductility.

Possible Structural Solutions Unbraced direction Determine ductility class via a nonlinear push-over analysis and calculate the Determine ductility class via a nonlinear push-over analysis and calculate the q-factor q-factor When the ductility is low (DCL) in the unbraced direction: - Strenghten the frame to take the horizontal forces when necessary When the ductility is medium (DCM) or high (DCH) in the unbraced direction: - Strenghten the frame to improve the energy dissipation when necessary

Possible Structural Solutions Braced direction Determine ductility class via a nonlinear push-over analysis and calculate the Determine ductility class via a nonlinear push-over analysis and calculate the q-factor q-factor When the ductility is low (DCL) in the braced direction: - Add sufficient bracings to take the horizontal forces when necessary - If not possible, than improve the existing bracing in terms of energy dissipation When the ductility is medium (DCM) or high (DCH) in the braced direction: - Improve the existing bracing in terms of energy dissipation when necessary

Concluding Remarks Determine the actual behaviour of the existing steel structure Analyse what is necessary to adapt the structure to the effects of earthquake actions Steel is an adequate material to resist seismic actions
