Ordinary Concentric Braced Frame Design by Cui Yao is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes the design of an ordinary concentric braced frame (OCBF) for a four-story steel office building, comparing it to the special concentric braced frame (SCBF) designed in Example 1A. Key steps include: 1. Classifying the structural system and determining seismic coefficients, resulting in a design base shear of 0.196W. 2. Distributing the base shear to each floor based on mass. The roof receives 2064 kips and total base shear is 5333 kips. 3. Calculating interstory drift, with a maxi
