Numerical study on the behavior of link-to-column connections in eccentrically braced frames
Geometry of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) in some cases causes the connection of link beam to the column. The details of such conditions should be studied carefully due to the full plastic rotation in the link beam. In this research, the behavior of link-to-column connection is modeled and the failure modes are considered. Based on the previous researches shear link can exhibit better beha...
متن کاملDevelopment of Self-Stabilizing Links for Eccentrically Braced Frames
This paper highlights aspects of the development of self-stabilizing links having tubular cross-sections for use in eccentrically braced frames (EBF’s). EBF’s utilizing this type of link could be used in bridge piers or other applications where lateral bracing to prevent lateral torsional buckling is difficult to provide. The development of design recommendations for these types of links consis...
متن کاملTubular Links for Eccentrically Braced Frames. II: Experimental Verification
This paper describes the results of an experimental study to verify proposed design requirements for eccentrically braced frame links with hollow rectangular i.e., tubular cross sections. Twelve primary link specimens and two supplementary links that have different end connections are tested. Three cross sections and four normalized link lengths are considered. Two of the cross sections have we...
متن کاملSeismic Behavior of Direct Displacement-based Designed Eccentrically Braced Frames
Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) is a performence-based seismic design method that has been proposed and well developed over the past two decades to design RC frame structures, shear walls and bridges. In this method, the behavior of a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) sysytem is approximaeted by an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) substitute structure. Although this method has be...
متن کاملA Target Displacement for Static Pushover Analysis to Estimate Seismic Demand of Eccentrically Braced Frames
A main challenge for performance-based seismic engineering is to develop simple, practical and precise methods for analyzing designed buildings and assessing existing structures to satisfy considerable performance objectives. Pushover analysis is a simplified nonlinear analysis technique that can be implemented for estimating the dynamic demands imposed on a structure under earthquake excitatio...
