Note. Six planar structural models were designed with 10, 15, and 20 stories. The M-10-3 means the model has 10 stories and 3 spans. The HBE is horizontal boundary elements connected to shear walls. The beams were H-shaped steels and reflect member depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness (unit in mm), respectively. The columns were CFSTs, and the steel tubes reflect diameter of D and depth of t (unit in mm).
