Adhere to the standards set forth in AISC Design Guide 12
AISC Design Guide 12 covers the rehabilitation of existing welded steel moment frame buildings to
improve their seismic resistance in future earthquakes. Retrofit concepts with
reduced beam section (RBS), welded haunch, and bolted bracket modifications are
covered.
