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 …

Abstract According to EN 1998-1, chevron concentrically braced frames (C-CBFs) are
expected to provide limited ductility due to the interactions between the braces and …

Steel chevron concentrically braced frames are expected to dissipate seismic energy by
yielding of the brace under tension, while both beam and columns behave elastically …

Chevron concentrically braced frames are one of the most cost-effective solutions for seismic
resistant steel buildings. Therefore, this system is widely used in Europe and North America …

Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are commonly used as lateral-load-resisting
systems in seismic regions. Chevron (or inverted V-braced) SCBFs are used to …

The seismic performance of steel braced frames with bracing members intersecting columns
between ground and roof levels in tall single-storey steel buildings is examined. Dividing the …

Current seismic design requirements for special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) in
chevron configurations require that the beams supporting the braces be designed to resist …

Recent seismic design provisions (CSA, 2001; AISC, 2002) for concentrically braced steel
frames (CBFs) aim at dissipating seismic input energy through inelastic deformations in the …

The seismic response of steel chevron concentric bracings is significantly influenced by the
flexural behaviour of the brace-intercepted beam. The capacity design criteria provided by …

Concentrically braced frame (CBF) is an effective and prevalent seismic force resisting
system which is commonly used in low-rise buildings. This type of structural system utilizes …
