Lightweight steel framed systems (LWS) are innovative construction systems whose
application has been steadily increasing over the years thanks to the huge benefits in terms …

Cross concentrically braced frames (X‐CBFs) are commonly used as primary seismic
resisting system, owing to their large lateral stiffness, simplicity of design, and relatively low …

In the framework of the probabilistic seismic response assessment of buildings, a key aspect
is the evaluation of the influence of uncertainties on the mean annual frequency of …

For concentrically braced frames (CBFs) with conventional braces, although they can
prevent collapse during earthquakes, people have to confront the costly repair work and …

As one type of effective earthquake-resisting structural systems, buckling-restrained braced
frames are expected to provide good seismic performance through significant plastic …

The importance of connections in steel structures is paramount, not only because it greatly
influences the cost of construction and provides room for innovations, but also due to the …

Braces in chevron braced frames inevitably suffer large cyclic deformation in the case of
severe earthquakes. In a chevron braced frame, one brace buckling and another brace …

Abstract The steel Concentric Braced Frame (CBF) is a popular structural type for buildings
in seismic areas. In fact, it can conveniently provide the building with large strength and …

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 …

In this work, a simplified method for the evaluation of the seismic performance of steel
Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) in everyday practice is presented. This method …
