Contemporary seismic design is based on dissipating earthquake energy through significant inelastic deformations. This study aims at developing an understanding of the inelastic behavior of braced frames of modular steel buildings (MSBs) and assessing their seismic demands and capacities. Incremental dynamic analysis is performed on typical MSB frames. The analysis accounts for their unique detailing requirements. Maximum inter-story drift and peak global roof drift were adopted as critical response parameters. The study revealed significant global seismic capacity and a satisfactory performance at design intensity levels. High concentration of inelasticity due to limited redistribution of internal forces was observed.
