This publication includes five papers that cover the p- Δ effect on seismic structures with semi-rigid connections, the effect of panel zone deformations on the structural response behavior, assessment of UBC for K-braced structures without backup ductile moment-resisting frames, experimental studies of a structure subjected to multicomponent base excitation, and the correlation between experimental and analytical studies of various structures subjected to simulated earthquakes. Also included in the papers are design criteria and recommendations for future work.
