an investigation on steel knee braced frames for lateral loads
Authors
abstract
hysteretic dampers as the most practical passive control methods have improved the seismic performance of steel structures through energy dissipation induced by large inelastic deformations. among them in this paper, kbf (knee braced frames), a special form of braced frames having a diagonal brace connected to a knee element instead of beam-column joint, is investigated. in such systems, the knee element designed to have inelastic behavior for dissipating seismic energy caused by strong earthquake. in this article, analytical investigation on cyclic performance of knee braced single span one-story frame specimens are described. nonlinear finite element method have been used for analysis of kbfs. results have shown good behavior of knee member before its failure and also indicated a number of important considerations for seismic design of kbfs. moreover hysteretic behavior have shown no pinching effects. at last, a mathematical model has been derived to predict the bilinear behavior of the kbfs and compared with monotonic pushover analysis. acceptable conformity between mathematical and numerical model proved the accuracy of the proposed model.

Tubular Brace Member Connections in Braced Steel Frames
cast connections. ABSTRACT: Diagonal bracings are extremely popular elements for lateral load resistance in steel-framed buildings. In turn, the most common shape used for bracing members is the hollow structural section. While the design of such members is straight-forward, the design of gusset-plate connections at the member ends is controversial. This paper reviews the current ‘state-of-the-...

The main aim of this study, is to evaluate the seismic reliability of steel concentrically braced frame (SCBF) structures optimally designed in the context of performance-based design. The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method and neural network (NN) techniques were utilized to conduct the reliability analysis of the optimally designed SCBFs. Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) trained by back propagati...

Displacement-based methods are recognized as appropriate approaches to reach the goals of performance-based seismic design method. In the direct displacement-based seismic design method, the seismic yield displacement is applied as one of the important design parameters. In this paper, a new relation is suggested to determine the lateral displacement pattern at first yielding of eccentrically b...

This paper suggested a new connection protocol, adding cover-plate between shear links and column, which was used to enhance moment and shear carrying capacity of beam, relax the restriction and assure the sufficiency development of plastic deformation of the link, and dissipate more earthquake energy. Considering the scale ratio of 1:3, the experimental data was achieved by a specimen under cy...
