Note:
1. P2=300tf, P1=150tf, story height h1=h2=4.0m, L=4m.
2. Assume the lateral support for VBEs and HBEs is continuous in this example.
3. Consider the elastic-perfect-plastic material property. The actual yield stress of the LYP100
steel panel is 130Mpa. The over strength factor of SN490C steel is 1.1.
4. You may use the following equations to represent the flexural capacity of the BEs:
1 P
f y Z 1 − u
2 Pn
M*p = lessor of
9 Pu
8 y 1 − P
