This paper presents the results of a study investigating the correlation between the anticipated seismic performance of an ASCE 7 code-compliant steel building with special moment frames and its predicted performance as quantified using ASCE 41 analysis procedures and structural performance metrics. Analytical results based on component-level performances at the collapse prevention structural performance level indicate that special moment frames designed in accordance with ASCE 7 , and its referenced standards, have difficulty satisfying the acceptance criteria in ASCE 41 for an existing building intended to be equivalent to a new building.
