From an economical point of view, It is one of a design criterion that, the building structure's allowed to respond inelastic behavior to some extent, under the condition of non-severe damage of structure and no loss of lives, against the disastrous earthquakes Speaking of Kobe earthquake, the severe damages are concentrated to unexpected beam-column connections in some steel structures Such buildings should have been designed to disperse the damages, on account of increasing the capacity for absorbing earthquake energy In this paper, sizing techniques under static horizontal forces focusing on ductility factor of members are presented Plane frame examples are demonstrated by proposed techniques, with minimizing total weight of steel volume
