摘要偏心支撑框架上的长链节的性能低于短链节和中间链节. 由于弯矩的影响,
长链节的失效比短链节和中链节的失效更快, 弯矩在链节末端比剪力更占主导地位 …

Long links on eccentrically braced frames (EBF) have lower performance than short and
intermediate links. Failure of long links occurs faster than that of short and medium links due …

As one of the most common lateral load-resisting systems, X-braced Frames have low
energy dissipation. In this study, performance of a new energy dissipation system in X-brace …
