Advantages Architectural Versatility
High Ductility and SafetyDisadvantages
Low Elastic Stiffness
Beams and columns with moment resisting

Achieving Ductile Behavior:
Choose frame elements ("fuses") that willyield in an earthquake, i.e, choose plastichinge locations.
Detail plastic hinge regions to sustainlarge inelastic rotations prior to the onsetof fracture or instability.
Design all other frame elements to bestronger than the plastic hinge regions.

Observations on Panel Zone Behavior
Very high ductility is possible. Localized deformations ( kinking ) at corners of
panel zone may increase likelihood of fracture invicinity of beam flange groove welds.
Building code provisions have varied greatly on panelzone design.
Current AISC Seismic Provisions permits limitedyielding in panel zone.
Further research needed to better define acceptablelevel of panel zone yielding
