Beam-column connection flexural behavior and seismic collapse performance of concentrically braced frames
… plates and their ability to improve the seismic collapse performance of concentrically braced frames. Previous experimental and field observations demonstrated that reserve lateral force-resisting capacity due to the flexural strength of connections outside the primary lateral force-resisting …

Influence of the Gravity System on the Seismic Performance of Special Steel Moment Frames
… of the gravity load resisting system on the collapse performance of Special Steel Moment Frames (SMFs). The influence was quantified using the FEMA P-695 methodology. The buildings used for this study were a 2-, 4- and 8-story SMFs taken from the ATC76-1 project where their collapse …

Seismic stability of buckling-restrained braced frames
… In accordance with the Methodology, the collapse performance was evaluated through nonlinear static and dynamic analyses that were used to investigate the inelastic behavior and determine the collapse fragility of each considered prototype. Several design prototypes, with different number …

Stochastic prediction of collapse of building structures under seismic excitations
… acceptably small likelihood of structural collapse. Therefore, accurate estimate of collapse likelihood of buildings under seismic excitations has recently become critical in efforts to promote hazard-resilience of the society, especially in developing national building codes, regional …

Performance assessment of special concentrically-braced frames in moderate seismic regions
… of gravity column continuity. A seismic performance assessment is conducted using the frame models to performing nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic analyses. Nonlinear static analyses are conducted as a preliminary assessment of the behavior of CBFs, and they are employed to identify …

Hybrid Steel Frames
… building codes generally perform well at severe performance objectives (like life safety) under high earthquake hazard levels. However, the building performance at low performance objectives (like immediate occupancy) under low earthquake hazards is uncertain. The motivation of this research is …

Seismic Response of Short Period Structures and the Development of a Self-Centering Truss Moment Frame with Energy Dissipating Elements for Improved Performance
… seismic energy and provide protection against collapse. This design concept is partially based on the equal displacement concept, which states that peak drifts for an inelastic system will be approximately equal to the peak drifts of an elastic system with the same initial stiffness for a given …
