Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are utilized as a lateral resisting system in high seismic
zones. Links are the primary source of energy dissipation and they are exposed to high …

Shear links constitute the most crucial part of eccentrically braced frames. Their main
responsibility is to dissipate the earthquake input energy away from the main structural …

Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are a widely used steel seismic resisting system due to
their combination of high elastic stiffness and high ductility. The key component of this …

In current design of steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs), the yielding link is coupled with
the floor beam. This often results in oversized link elements, which leads to over-designed …

The seismic performance of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) is strongly influenced by the
length of their links. In these frames, short links undergo shear yielding, long links …

Shear links are key components in the Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) that act as a
structural fuse by dissipating seismic energy during severe earthquakes. Specification AISC …

The paper disccuses an analysis study on the design of Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF) ie
short link, intermediate link and long link by using diagonal web stiffener in the edge of the …

Short links that primarily yield under shear are usually preferred in eccentrically braced
frames (EBFs) due to their high rotation and energy dissipation capacities. Long links that …

During severe earthquakes, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of shear links in Y-
shaped eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are crucial to achieve desirable seismic …

Featured Application The main purpose of this study is to present a shear device consisting
of a central “fuse” link to examine the seismic behavior and to analyze the damage modes of …
