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 …

Various replaceable link details were developed for use in steel eccentrically braced frames
(EBFs) during the past decade. These details include but are not limited to bolted flush end …

Two-storey X-bracings are currently very popular in European practice, as respect to
chevron and simple X bracings, owing to the advantages of reducing the bending demand in …

The present study evaluates the seismic performance factors of typical buildings with dual
lateral force resisting system (LFRS) consisting of special moment frames (SMFs) combined …

Experiments on 12 specimens are conducted to study the low-cycle fatigue behavior of I-
shaped steel bracing members with gusset plate connections. The experimental results …

This paper presents a numerical study on the buckling behaviour of gusset plate
connections under compression. The main focus is given to the post-buckling resistance of …

In many low and moderate seismic regions, a low-ductility concentrically braced frame (CBF)
is used as the seismic force resisting system for steel structures. The design of such CBFs is …

Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are lateral force resisting structural systems
used for buildings to resist forces induced by seismic ground motion. These structural steel …

In this study, a cost-effective and efficient Bar-fuse damper (BFD) modified model is
proposed to prevent the buckling and increase the ductility of the concentrically braced …

Simulations on 192 concentrically braced frames with H-section steel (Q355B) are carried
out to investigate their low-cycle fatigue performance. The fatigue life of a steel-braced frame …
