Due to the fact that the buckling-restrained brace core yields subject to both tension and compression, it can adsorb energy and exhibit high ductility rendering it proper for tolerating earthquake loads. One of the important objectives of seismic standards is safeguarding the appropriate ductility for the structures because the structures, in case of being ductile, can dissipate a considerable...

In United States design practice, three system performance factors (R, Cd, and o) characterize the inelastic behavior of structures and are a crucial component of common elastic design methodologies. However, for steel-concrete composite frame systems these factors have been selected based on comparisons to more traditional and well-studied reinforced concrete and structural steel frame system...

Long links on eccentrically braced frames (EBF) have lower performance than short and intermediate links. Failure of long occurs faster that medium due to the influence bending moment, which is more dominant at ends link shear forces. The objective this research improve by delaying failure buckling fracture flange web ends. According AISC 341, cross-sectional capacity outside beam greater link....

Hybrid moment frame come together with reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams (RCS). This Composite system provides several key advantages over current steel or concrete moment resisting frame. Past studies have shown this system to be efficient in both design and building stage while able to keep sufficient strength and necessary ductility in seismic zone.Although past researc...

In this paper, we propose an assembled self-centering buckling-restrained brace (ASCBRB), which eliminates the residual drift of structures after a major horizontal displacement. The ASCBRB also represents advanced device for partial replacement damaged parts brace. Four groups prestressed disk springs and metal yielding core plate were used to improve resilience energy dissipation brace, respe...

Vertical combination of different seismic resisting systems, permitted in the design codes such as ASCE/SEI7-16, is an effective choice for structural mid- and high-rise buildings. In analysis structures, according to codes, estimate fundamental period vibration needed. On other hand, there no simplified equation compute mixed buildings with vertical systems. this study, by using Rayleigh’s met...
