than ever. In addition, there is also a developing trend to use modularization that minimizes the construction_x000D_
schedule and thereby reduces costs. A new efficient structural system for high rise building has been developed_x000D_
called the Super Frame (SF). SF structures divide a building structural system into primary and secondary_x000D_
structures. The primary frames of the SF system are composed of vertical legs in each corner of the building_x000D_
which are linked by horizontal diaphragm elements at about every 10 to 20 floors. The primary frames resist all_x000D_
vertical, wind, and seismic forces as an exterior structure since the vertical elements are concentrated in the_x000D_
corner areas of the building, maximizing resistance to the wind and seismic forces. The SF concept has been_x000D_
recently used in Asia and the Middle East [1]. However, for such buildings to be built in Canada, they must_x000D_
conform to Canadian Building Code requirements [2] to ensure their serviceability limit state and ultimate limit_x000D_
state design under high wind and earthquake loads. The total lateral deformation of the high rise must be under_x000D_
the Canadian safety limits stated by the code to ensure safety and smooth operation of the high rise building's_x000D_
elevators; these benefits will, in turn, be passed onto rate paying customers._x000D_
BAH Enterprises is an expert in the field of structural engineering for industrial projects with special emphasis_x000D_

industrial buildings. BAH is interested in using a combined SF system of High Strength Steel (HSS) frames_x000D_
filled with Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) for industrial buildings, as they offer numerous_x000D_
advantages over other design structures, including lower costs, and more efficient use of space. BAH has_x000D_
investigated the use of such SF designs for industrial buildings, but a lack a sufficient design model,_x000D_
