Engineering Report:
Analysis of Steel Structures under Seismic Stress
This report will analyze the benefits and flaws of common steel building methods under seismic stress and describe techniques to maximize earthquake resistance. The system of Steel Reinforced Concrete—Wall and Frame buildings will be discussed, with a more specific focus on Steel I-beam construction. The interrelation of these building techniques to structural integrity during seismic events will be developed, primarily concerning high-rise buildings experiencing a variety of forces beyond simple compression and tension. Buildings of great height are constantly affected by wind-stress forces, with an increased threat from seismic motion. As urban population increases, taller buildings will need to be constructed to meet the demand for housing and office space within cities. This report will provide an analysis of current methods and make suggestions for future improvements.
