The influence of composite girders on the modified buckling factor for columns was investigated in both braced and unbraced frames. girders' end conditions were represented as rigid hinged . Furthermore, based proposed stiffness parameter, derived formulation follows same assumptions standard effective length (K-factor). Moreover, suggested equations frames obtained using slope-deflection metho...

Existing literature suggests that substituting mineral aggregates with tire-derived aggregate (TDA) in concrete increases the ductility and toughness of at cost lowering its strength stiffness. Hence, TDA has applications dynamic systems, such as lateral resisting frames sustaining seismic loads. This study investigated application buckling-restrained braced (BRBFs). Buckling-restrained brace (...

the objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for rc frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed n2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. a preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...
