Seismic Behavior Factor of Moment Resisting Steel Frame-Steel Plate Shear Wall

The seismic behavior factor of moment resisting steel frame-steel plate shear wall under two different horizontal loading patterns was investigated according to the maximum inter-story drift ratio reaching 1/50. It could be achieved with the same calculated standard as the foreign codes and the determined behavior factor was compared with foreign research results. The method using the software SAP2000 to calculate seismic behavior factor according to the maximum inter-story drift ratio reaching 1/50 was presented and the specific example was used to elaborate the operating process. The seismic behavior factor R, the overstrength factor RO and the ductility reduction factor R-Omega of 10-storey 3-span steel frame-steel plate shear wall under the inverted triangle load are respectively 6.07, 2.96 and 2.05. while they are respectively 7.2, 3.37 and 2.13 under the uniform load. Finally, it can be concluded that the economic and reasonable design goals are achieved for this structure.
