چکیده مقاله:

The design and behavior of a ductile structural system called a knee-braced moment frame are presented in this paper. The design of this structural system is based on a capacity-design concept that results in ductile behavior. The knee part is a fuse-like component that dissipates energy by the formation of plastic flexural and/or shear hinges at its ends and mid-span, when the building is subjected to severe lateral loads. However, the diagonal brace component, on the other hand, provides the required level of lateral stiffness and remains in the elastic range without buckling at any time. Attempts have been made, in the present study, to investigate the non-linear seismic behavior of Knee-Braced Frame systems for various influencing factors, and to formulate the effects of the number of building stories, the length of the knee element, and moment of inertia of the bending members on the seismic behavior, the drift of the stories, and the failure mode of these systems. Finally, based on the results of the study, some recommendations have been offered for the effective range parameters for the optimal performance of these systems.

Seismic Behavior of Asymmetric Two-Story X-braced Frames

Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are one of the efficient lateral load resisting systems in high seismicity regions. One of the common problems with the use of concentrically braced frames is limitation in the architectural application and position of the openings. Two-story X braced frames have more advantages than other configurations of concentrically braced frames, since in many cases th...

Seismic 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...

The Effect of Frame Geometry on the Seismic Response of Self-Centering Concentrically- Braced Frames

Conventional concentrically-braced frame (CBF) systems have limited drift capacity before brace buckling and related damage leads to deterioration in strength and stiffness. Self-centering concentrically-braced frame (SC-CBF) systems have been developed to increase drift capacity prior to initiation of damage and minimize residual drift. SC-CBFs differ from conventional CBFs in that the SC-CBF ...
