Table Of Contents
P.1 SCOPE
P.2 SYMBOLS
P.3 COEFFICIENTS AND FACTORS FOR BASIC SEISMIC LOAD RESISTING SYSTEMS
P.4 VALUES OF APPROXIMATE PERIOD PARAMETERS

P.1 SCOPE
This appendix contains design coefficients, system limitations and design parameters for seismic load
resisting systems (SLRS) that are included in these provisions but not yet defined in the applicable building
code for buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBF) and special plate shear walls (SPSW). The values
presented in Tables 6.P.1 and 6.P.2 in this Appendix shall only be used where neither the applicable building
code nor SEI/ASCE 7 contain such values.

P.2 SYMBOLS
The following symbols are used in this appendix.

Cd = Deflection amplification factor

Cr, x = Parameters used for determining the approximate fundamental period

Ωo = System overstrength factor

R = Response modification coefficient
