Seismic Performance and Fragility Assessment of RC Frame Buildings Equipped with Yielding Brace Systems Using NSPA and IDA

Abstract

AbstractStructural engineers aim to achieve the highest level of structural safety, particularly in earthquake-prone areas. Recent earthquakes have highlighted the urgent need for resilient engineering solutions. Given India’s high earthquake risk, ...Practical ApplicationsThis paper presents the findings of a study on yielding brace systems that represent significant potential for improved building safety under seismic action. Major past earthquakes, such as those in Mexico in 1985, Loma Prieta in ...
