Title: Modifying Existing Lateral Load Resisting Systems - Braced Frames
Type: Regular Session
Description:
The codes are generally clear regarding designing and constructing new braced frame lateral load resisting systems. The codes are generally clear when the circumstances of an alteration require a lateral load resisting system to comply with code loads. What is not clearly addressed is the challenges faced by engineers when they are required to remove an existing braced frame to accommodate the alteration. This session will discuss the various challenges engineers must consider in removing an existing braced frame and the impacts not only on the steel lateral load resisting system, but the overall building superstructure.
