For a typical STMF with the ratio of truss girder span to the length of special segment = 3.75:
The relation between the story drift ratio and plastic hinge rotation of the chord members can be approximately estimated from the following equation:
Other Limitations in the AISC Seismic Provisions

Story Drift Ratio (%) Plastic Rotational Demand of Chord Member (rad.)
1.00 0.0352.00 0.0853.00 0.135
For typical STMFs with one Vierendeel panel at S.S. – truss girder height = 4-ft; span length = 30-ft L/Ls = 30/(1.5x4) = 5.0
DOUBLE-CHANNEL COMPONENT TEST
8
Rotational capacity of the double-channel sections is controlled by three major instabilities: lateral-torsional buckling (LTB), flange local buckling (FLB), and web local buckling (WLB). They can occur simultaneously and strongly interact with each other.

AISC Seismic Provisions do not allow any attachment located within the plastic hinge region. Therefore LTB may still occur at the plastic hinge even the lateral supports are placed at the end of the plastic hinge.

Vertical members are not butted up to the chord members
Asymmetry of displacement due to reach of maximum tension capacity of the actuator. Reached 1.5% story drift (6.25% member rotation) in one direction and 2% story drift (10.6% member rotation) in the other direction.
1. Verify the 2010 AISC Vne equation (Chao and Goel, 2008);
2. Check if the aspect ratio of S.S. could be extended to about 2.5 (this will reduce the rotational demands at the chord members). The current limits are between 0.67 and 1.5;
3. Investigate the possibility of relaxing the stitch spacing in the S.S. (from 14 in. to 23 in.);
4. Investigate the possibility of relaxing splicing location of chord members;
5. Check the performance of STMF up to up to 3~4%(demand under MCE ground motion) drift ratio;
6. STMF with multiple Vierendeel panels at the S.S.

Preliminary Conclusions
Full-scale STMF specimens with double-channel section members showed ductile and stable response under large displacement reversals.
Several seismic detailing in the current AISC Seismic Provisions can be safely relaxed such as the aspect ratio of S.S. to 2.5; greater stitch spacing (50%greater) in the S.S., and allowing splicing of chord members within one-half the panel length from the ends of the S.S.
The proposed special detailing using extended gusset plates at the corner of S.S. with weld-free zone effectively provides direct lateral support to the PH zone and increases the ductility of STMFs.
Preliminary Conclusions
Intermediate vertical members increase both stiffness and strength of STMFs. They are designed to be the first elements that dissipate the majority of the earthquake energy, and can be easily replaced when they are damaged in a moderate earthquake event.
