An extensive investigation of the international literature is carried out regarding the passive
energy dissipation systems and more specifically the dampers that can be positioned in …

Special Concentrically Braced Frames are commonly used as the seismic resisting system
in buildings. Their inherent strength and stiffness assure serviceable performance during …

The braced tube frame system, a combination of perimeter frame and bracing frame, is one
of the systems used in tall buildings. Due to the implementation of this system in tall …

This state-of-the-art review comprehensively evaluates the seismic design and performance
assessment of concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems, specifically focusing on special …

Moment resisting frames possess significant ductility and thus are commonly used in
earthquake-resistant designs. However, excessive deformation due to lower stiffness and …

Conventional concentrically braced frames (CBFs) undergo many cycles of inelastic
deformation during seismic excitation. This inelastic deformation leads to the possibility that …

Chevron concentrically braced frames (C-CBFs) are very popular lateral-resisting systems,
often opted for steel buildings due to their improved architectural functionality and reduced …

The use of steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs) has substantially increased recently.
However, investigations and observations from past earthquakes suggest that some existing …

Special concentrically braced frames (SCBF) are stiff, strong and economical lateral-load
resisting systems, which can sustain large inelastic deformation if properly detailed …

Braced frames are one of the most economical and efficient seismic resisting systems yet
few full‐scale tests exist. A recent research project, funded by the National Science …
