Abstract

The basic functions expected from any structure are generally sufficient
rigidity, ductility and stiffness. In this study, the effect of steel ducts
with high ductility level on the performance of steel structures was
investigated. For this purpose, calculations were made using five different
types of central steel curtains for steel flues of any hospital building.
Period, frequency, modal addition rates, displacement and rotation values are
calculated and compared for each different central steel screen. The aim of the
study is to be informed about the central steel slabs with high ductility level
and to have information about which of the most suitable central steel slabs
will be chosen.

Keywords
