Steel Building Systems (SBS) are prevalent in low-rise construction in North America. They account for approximately 50% of the total non-residential low-rise construction. SBS are cost effective, durable, expedited for construction scheduling, easy to expand and fully customizable for owners' needs. They are built in a variety of locations with a wide range of applications. In Canada, the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) (NRCC, 2010) and handbook of steel construction (CSA-S16, 2009) do not consider SBS as one of the pre-qualified seismic force resisting systems. Designers typically follow the American design code (ASCE 7, 2010) where the buildings are designed as Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame. The design approach for Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame requires the member to remain compact, hence able to achieve stable energy dissipation. However, most SBS use non-compact structural members. The ability of using non-compact members as part of the Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame has not been verified analytically or experimentally. This leads to a knowledge gap for the seismic design of SBS in Canada. The proposed research will investigate the seismic design approaches for SBS in Canada. Nonlinear time history dynamic analyses of building systems will be carried out following an approach adopted from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) P695 Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors (FEMA, 2009). Input earthquake records will be scaled to the site specific uniform hazard spectra for four representative cities in Canada, namely Vancouver, Calgary, Quebec City, and Halifax. The outcome of the research will provide a detailed understanding of the seismic performance of SBS in Canada. The analysis results will be further used to develop robust seismic design guidelines for SBS in high seismic zones in Canada and worldwide.

钢结构建筑系统 (SBS) 在北美的低层建筑中很流行。它们约占非住宅低层建筑总量的50%。 SBS 具有成本效益、耐用、施工进度快、易于扩展且可根据业主的需求完全定制。它们建在不同的地点，具有广泛的应用范围。在加拿大，加拿大国家建筑规范 (NBCC) (NRCC，2010) 和钢结构手册 (CSA-S16，2009) 并未将 SBS 视为预审资格的抗震系统之一。设计师通常遵循美国设计规范 (ASCE 7, 2010)，其中建筑物被设计为普通抗力矩框架。普通抗力矩框架的设计方法要求构件保持紧凑，从而能够实现稳定的能量耗散。然而，大多数 SBS 使用非紧凑结构构件。使用非紧凑构件作为普通抗矩框架一部分的能力尚未经过分析或实验验证。这导致了加拿大 SBS 抗震设计的知识空白。拟议的研究将调查加拿大 SBS 的抗震设计方法。建筑系统的非线性时程动态分析将按照联邦紧急事务管理局 (FEMA) P695 建筑抗震性能因素量化 (FEMA, 2009) 采用的方法进行。输入的地震记录将按比例缩放到加拿大四个代表性城市（即温哥华、卡尔加里、魁北克市和哈利法克斯）的特定地点统一灾害谱。研究结果将提供对加拿大 SBS 地震性能的详细了解。分析结果将进一步用于为加拿大和全球高地震区的 SBS 制定稳健的抗震设计指南。
