Metal building systems are widely used in low-rise (1- or 2-story) building construction for economic reasons. Maximum cost efficiency is usually achieved through optimization of steel weight and the fabrication process by adopting web- tapered members and bolted end-plate connections. However, the cyclic behavior of this kind of system has not been investigated, and no specific seismic design guidelines are available in the United States. Based on both experimental and analytical studies, this dissertation introduces a new design concept utilizing drift evaluation, and proposes a seismic design procedure for metal building systems.
