Lateral Movement of Unbraced Wood Composite I-Joists Exposed to Dynamic Walking Loads
… was attached to the top flange. Five different brace stiffnesses were used: zero stiffness (control), 1.2 lb/in., 8.5 lb/in., 14.0 lb/in. and infinitely stiff. Two different brace configurations were used: one-quarter of the span length (60 in.) and one third the span length (80 in.). The …

Improvement of inelastic performance for friction damped asymmetric buildings
This thesis investigates the effect of having brace strength eccentricity (slip load eccentricity) negative that of stiffness eccentricity on the performance of friction damped braced frames, in an effort to improve the efficiency of friction damped braced frames in single and multi-storey …
