Following a potentially damaging earthquake, an assessment should be performed for each steel moment-frame building to determine the likelihood of significant structural damage, the implications of this damage with regard to building safety and occupancy and the need for repair. |
|
|

Prior to performing preliminary or detailed post-earthquake evaluations, it is recommended that screening be performed to determine if a building has likely experienced ground shaking of sufficient intensity to cause significant damage. |

The primary material properties required to perform analytical evaluations of a steel moment-frame building include:
|
|
|
Yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of steel for the columns in the moment frames |
|
|
Yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of steel for the beams in the moment frames |
|

|
|
Yield and ultimate tensile strength of bolts in the moment-resisting connections |
|
|
All of the above |

The basic process of post-earthquake evaluation, as contained in these procedures, is to develop a mathematical model of the damaged structure, and by performing structural analysis, to determine the likelihood that the building will resist ground shaking demands that can be anticipated to occur during the immediate post-earthquake period, without collapse.
