The document compares the seismic performance of special moment resisting frames (SMRF) and ordinary moment resisting frames (OMRF) using pushover analysis, highlighting the need for special detailing to ensure ductile behavior in earthquake-prone areas. The study demonstrates that SMRF, with a higher response reduction factor, displays superior performance over OMRF in terms of base shear capacity despite its higher displacement. Additionally, the presence of strong infill contributes significantly to the strength of both frame types.
