This chapter provides the basis of design, the requirements for analysis, and the requirements for the system, members, and connections for composite braced frame and shear wall systems.
The chapter is organized as follows:
- H1. Composite Ordinary Braced Frames (C-OB F)
- H2. Composite Special Concentrically Braced Frames (C-SCBF)
- H3. Composite Eccentrically Braced Frames (C-EBF)
- H4. Composite Ordinary Shear Walls (C-OSW)
- H5. Composite Special Shear Walls (C-SSW)
- H6. Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Encased (C-PSW/CE)
- H7. Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled (C-PSW/CF)
- H8. Coupled Composite Plate Shear Walls—Concrete Filled (CC-PSW/CF)
User Note: The requirements of this chapter are in addition to those required by the Specification and the applicable building code.
