A classification of multistory and tall steel structures is presented in seismic design,which is closely related to the stability design.Based on this classification,the designer may make a correct decision on what kind of method should be used in the structural analysis (first order or second order analysis) and select an appropriate formula or table from the code to determine the column effective length or calculate the column load carrying capacity.This paper summarized the definitions of total 7 technical terms,i.e.sway and non sway frames,laterally stiff structure and laterally flexible structure,and strongly braced,weakly braced and unbraced frames. The presented classifying method is based on a research on the buckling of unbraced,weakly braced and fully braced frames.Criteria for judging whether a structure is fully braced or not is presented.The stability design formula for weakly braced frames is put forward.
