    Depends on Building Period
    Reduced by Factor R
    R Depends on System

    System Ductility

    What is System Ductility?


    Ability of System to Maintain Stability After Yielding/Overload of
    Some Elements
    Ability of Yielding/Overloaded Elements to Deform
    If yielding elements fracture, system may lose stability
    Ability of Nonyielding Elements to Withstand Forces Redistributed by
    Yielding
    When an element yields, other elements may receive more load
    Ability of Nonyielding Elements to Withstand Deformations Caused by
    Yielding
    System displacements increase after yielding, and deformation modes change
    So-called nonyielding members may have some inelastic deformation

    Seismic Braced Frames: Design Concepts and Connections


    System Ductility

    How is System Ductility Achieved?


    Designate certain elements to be fuses
    Ensure those elements are ductile
    Ensure other elements do not yield
    Determine maximum forces that yielding elements can impose
    Maximum forces can be much greater than design forces
    Resistance factor
    Conservative design equations
    Conservative design assumptions
    Higher-than-specified material strength
    Over-designed elements (e.g., Drift-controlled)
    Check strength or ductility at expected drifts
