Shear-critical replaceable links, which were proposed about a decade ago for eccentrically
braced frames (EBFs), require stringent detailing efforts for their connections and web …

Steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are commonly used as a lateral load-resisting
system, in particular in high seismic regions, due to their high ductility, stable and reliable …

Over the past few decades, concentrically braced frames (CBFs) have become a commonly
used load-resistant bearing system in steel structures. CBF systems have high lateral …

In the structure of high-strength steel composite eccentrically braced steel frames (HSS–
EBFs), the links and braces are made of Q345 steel, while the non-energy-dissipation …

Zipper elements of stories transfer unbalanced vertical forces of the lower stories to the
upper ones. The tensile forces generated in these elements extremely increase in upper …

Seismic-resistant Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are becoming a widely used lateral
resisting system for steel buildings, with even wider application anticipated as design …

This paper reports findings of an experimental study conducted on replaceable links for steel
eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). A replaceable link detail which is based on splicing the …

An experimental investigation is conducted to study the seismic behaviour of eccentrically
braced composite frame (EBCF) with vertical shear links, which has a better repairability and …

Eccentrically braced frames have been used as seismic load resisting systems in buildings
for more than two decades. Typically, the links, which are relied upon for energy dissipation …

An analytical investigation is performed on chevron braced frames using the shear panel
system (SPS) and verified based on experimental results. This paper aims to determine key …
