Although the traditional approach in building engineering is to keep the main wind force resisting system elastic, doing so can inhibit capacity-based seismic design, and it is not always the most cost-effective approach.

Location of semi-rigid connections effect on the seismic performance of steel frame structures
In design steel frames, combining semi-rigid and rigid connections can result in better structural performance, particularly in seismic locations. In this study, the effects of semi-rigid beam-to-column connections located on the seismic performance of ...
