Abstract
The objective of this work is to compare the Special Moment Frame (SMF) system and the Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system using the AHP multi-criteria comparison method with the two Seismic Load Resisting Systems (SFRS). From the linear static analysis, dynamic analysis, and nonlinear static analysis (Pushover), representative characteristics of each Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS) are determined. These characteristics include the structure's self-weight, target displacement, floor drifts, and seismic response modification factor (R). As a result, two buildings are obtained with different SFRS that comply with the design of their elements and checks according to the regulatory requirements. After determining the capacity curve of each Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS) and assessing the performance level of the buildings, the conclusion is drawn that the Special Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system is more suitable and advantageous compared to the Special Moment Frame (SMF) system. This preference is due to the SPSW system's ability to provide ductility, which translates into higher energy dissipation capacity, and stiffness, which leads to reduced floor drifts in the building.
