2.4 Dat Duthinh & William P. Fritz

This paper presented an improved version of the Non-linear

data assisted technique method for estimating ultimate
capacity under wind loads. The paper also showed how
NLDAD can be used to substantially increase the safety level
of the frame under wind loads with only modest or no
increase in material consumption or save material & energy
embodied there in while maintaining wind resisting capacity.
The method consists of using databases of pressures
measured in wind tunnel tests and applying these pressures
in non-linear structural analysis.

2.5 Timothy Wayne Mays

The purpose of this study is to show that elastic design of

metal building systems for seismic forces is a feasible,
economical and safe alternative to inelastic design and
detailing. Even if the structural system is excited by an
earthquake of a magnitude greater than the design
earthquake only a small amount of inelastic deformation if
any will occur.

3. CONCLUSION

By increasing the area of Industrial building material and

cost of the building is minimized in case of PEIB while in
case of Convention building the material and cost is not
optimized if we increase the area of building.
