In order to design structures to resist strong earthquakes, it is necessary to have an understanding of structural dynamics and the nonlinear behavior of structures. Structural steel continues to offer several economical and effective means for the design and construction of earthquake-resistant structures. This Facts for Steel Buildings resents an overview of the causes of earthquakes, the earthquake effects that damage structures, the structural properties that are effective in minimizing damage, and the organization and intent of seismic design requirements for steel structures in the United States today.
