This
session will first provide design examples of different types of
bracing systems for buildings whose seismic lateral forces were
determined in Part One (An Introduction to Earthquake Engineering and
Seismic Codes - Ductility) of this seminar. This session will then
provide tips to structural engineers who design buildings in regions of
low or moderate seismicity. The topics covered include determining site
class and seismic design category, selecting a steel
seismic-force-resisting system, and applying detailing requirements.
