Buckling-Restrained Braced Frame system(BRBFs) are a new type of steel seismic-load-resisting system that has found use in several countries because of its efficiency and its promise of seismic performance far superior to that of conventional braced frames. The system is addressed in the 2005 edition of the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings, also a set of design provisions ...

Panel zone is one of the most important elements for transferring the lateral load to other elements in Steel Moment Resistant Frames. To some extent, this element through its suitable ductile behavior with beams, that themselves have been known as ductile elements, can increase the overall ductility of SMRF. The suitable design procedure for this element and details, can highly affect the perf...

Abstract This paper investigates the effect of inherent damping modeling on computed seismic response and collapse performance selected seismically isolated buildings. The analyzed buildings were designed by procedures ASCE/SEI 7–16 standard. structure is a six‐story perimeter frame building with special moment resisting frames or concentrically braced (SCBF) for location in California. Three d...

Abstract. In the recent past, authors proposed a new steel device devoted to representing an innovative moment resisting connection for frame elements called LRPD (Limited Resistance Plastic Device). It is element characterized by symmetry with respect three orthogonal barycentric planes and constituted sequence of portions abrupt cross section changes, each one identifies suitably designed geo...
