Preliminary Design
Ron Klemencic, P.E., S.E.
President, Magnusson Klemencic Associates
Presented by:
John Hooper, P.E., S.E.
Director of Earthquake Engineering,
Magnusson Klemencic Associates
Structural Configuration
Simple arrangement of structural elements Clearly defined load paths Complicated configurations and geometries
complicate behavior—avoid to the extent possible
Structural Performance Hierarchy
Identify zone or elements of nonlinear response Establish hierarchy of the nonlinear elements Incorporate capacity design concepts as
appropriate for remaining elements Confirm hierarchy through nonlinear response
history analysis
