Thanks for your kind response, I see, I have read all of these Appendixes, but there is no design section data (Beams and Columns) for irregular buildings, the question is: * Are there section designs (if there are different sections) for SMF irregular buildings? Or Have sections of regular and irregular buildings presumed the same?

Hi there, I have studied this code and there is enough information such as modeling the baseline (regular) buildings and summary of results in Appendix C, but there is no information about modeling (especially section designs) irregular ones. The first paragraph of aforementioned Appendix is stated as follows: For details on the steel moment frame designs with irregularities and for detailed results of the steel moment frame studies, see the electronic supporting documentation for Appendix C "steel moment frame irregularity designs and detailed results" (You can see the green highlighted text in below pic). Is there any electronic supporting documentation for this code? or is there any information of section designs that we directly use these buildings as benchmark structures? many regards,
