Abstract: Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are commonly used in steel building structures to rapidly increase structural stiffness, especially in high seismic regions. However, conventional buckling braces have been verified to ...

Abstract: Stud-type damper devices (SDs), which are arranged vertically in frames by solely connecting beams in spans, are increasingly used in special moment-resisting frame (SMRF) systems in practice. The SDs are typically used ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) columns have been used increasingly in building structures because of their construction efficiency and provision of high stiffness and strength. A relatively new configuration design ...

Abstract: Steel concentrically braced frames inherently provide great strength and stiffness, and are widely used for seismic resisting systems in buildings. These include conventional buckling braced frames and buckling restrained ...
