متن کاملSeismic evaluation of reinforced concrete moment frames retrofitted with steel braces using IDA and Pushover methods in the near-fault field
One of the methods for retrofitting reinforced concrete moment frames is the use of steel braces. In this research, the seismic performance of a double-skinned concrete framing system reinforced with two concentric (CBF) and eccentric (EBF) steel bracing, was investigated under seven near-fault earthquake records of varying intensity. For this purpose, two ten-story concrete frames with five sp...
