Abstract: Response of structures to static and dynamic loads may be assessed in terms of energy. The energy evaluation depends on hysteretic models used to describe inelastic behavior of structures and their elements. One of the ...

Abstract: Several analytical and experimental studies have been recently conducted on the behavior of cross‐bracing systems subjected to out‐of‐plane buckling. Semirigid connections, however, were not considered or modeled. This ...

Abstract: In recent years, several analytical studies have been conducted on the behavior of cross‐bracing members subjected to out‐of‐plane buckling. Most of these studies do not consider boundary conditions such as the relative ...
